Marmaduke Cradock
Marmaduke Cradock (1660 – 24 March 1716) was an English painter of birds and animals. Some older sources〔Including Bryan and Walpole〕 give his first name as Luke.
==Life==
Cradock was an English painter, noted for his depictions of birds, dead game, and other animals.〔Bryan〕 He was born in Somerton, Somerset and moved to London, where he served an apprenticeship to a house-painter. He was, however, self-taught as an artist,〔 becoming skilled in the depiction of birds and animals. Horace Walpole wrote that "I have seen some pieces by his hand which he painted with a freedom and a fire that entitled them to more distinction".〔
According to Walpole, Cradock deliberately shunned aristocratic patronage. He worked in general by the day, and for dealers who retailed his works; possessing that conscious dignity of talent which made him hate to be employed by men whose birth and fortune confined his fancy, and restrained his freedom.〔
