About the author

Joseph Farington RA (21 November 1747 – 30 December 1821) was an 18th-century English landscape painter and diarist.

Through his extensive involvement in the affairs of the Royal Academy, his wide circle of friends, and his membership in several clubs and societies, he touched the lives of many notable persons.

Farington kept a diary from 1793 until his death, which provides a meticulous record of his actions and observations and is an invaluable source for the history of English art and artists. It also constitutes an absorbing record of this period’s social, political, and literary developments.

His portrait, seen here, was painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence.
