Joseph Antony Adolph
Joseph Antony Adolph (often Adolphe) (1729–after 1771) was a Moravian painter who spent part of his career in England.
==Life==
He was born at Nikolsburg in Moravia (now Mikulov in the Czech Republic), on 6 July 1721,〔 the son of Joseph Frank Adolph, painter to Prince C. Max von Dietrichstein.〔 He was in Paris in 1745 and by 1750 he was in England,〔 where he stayed for some years. He painted an equestrian portrait of George III of England when he was Prince of Wales;〔 an engraving after it, by Bernard Baron, was published in 1755.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw141693/King-George-III )〕 He spent some time in Norfolk, painting portraits of Elisha de Hague〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Elisha de Hague, Sr (1717–1792), Town Clerk of Norwich )〕 and Benjamin Hancock for the collection of civic portraits hung in St Andrew's Hall in Norwich in 1764, and exhibiting his paintings "at the Bowling Green, near Chapel Fields" in city that year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Benjamin Hancock, Mayor of Norwich (1763) )〕 A portrait of Caroline D'Arcy, 4th Marchioness of Lothian in the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland, previously attributed to Allan Ramsay is now thought to be by Adolph; the collection suggests that it may have been painted when she was living at at Blickling, Norfolk, in around 1750.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Caroline D'Arcy, 4th Marchioness of Lothian (died 1778) )〕
During his years in England Adolph is said to have worked mostly as a portrait painter, but on his return to Austria he was employed in the decoration of interiors, adorning walls with frescoes, and painting the ceilings of large saloons. Three altarpieces by him are in the collegiate church of Nikolsburg. The date of his death is unknown, although he was still alive in 1772.〔 The first edition of the ''Dictionary of National Biography'' erroneously gives the date of his death as 1761.〕
