English Romantic Painter, 1769-1859 English painter and engraver. He was the most important animal painter of his generation. Many of his dynamic compositions depict horses, dogs or wild animals in agitated emotional states, the sense of movement being reinforced by vigorous brushwork and strong colours. With their sweeping landscapes and dramatic skies, his canvases epitomize Romanticism. Not content to excel merely as an animal painter, Ward also produced portraits, landscapes and genre and history paintings of varying quality.  Related Paintings of James Ward :. | John Levett Receiving Pheasant from Retriever on HIs Estate at Wychnor, | Gordale Scat,Yorkshire (mk22) | Elevation | A horse in a landscape startled by lightning | The Levett Children |
