Monamy, Peter
English Painter, 1681-1749
English painter. It seems likely that his family origins and name were French. The Painter-Stainers' Company records that he was apprenticed as a house painter to William Clarke from 1696, but by 1710 he had become a marine artist, filling the gap in the market left by the death of Willem van de Velde the younger in 1707. Most of his subsequent career was devoted to careful imitations of van de Velde's style (and, in some cases, of particular pictures), by which, according to Vertue, 'he distinguished himself and came into reputation'. He maintained his links with the Painter-Stainers, of which he had been made a freeman in 1703 Related Paintings of Monamy, Peter :. | A panoranma of the Bosporus at Constantinople the City spread along the European western shore,the Asian eastern shore guarded by Leander-s Tower | A clam scene,with two small drying sails | THe Ship rigged royal yacht Dublin in two positions | The British Fleet Sailing into Lisbon Harbor | A Small Sailing boat and a merchantman at sea in a rising Wind | Related Artists: George Edmund ButlerBritish, 1870-1936 Monticelli, Adolphe-JosephFrench, 1824-1886
French painter. In 1846, after studying at the Ecole d'Art in Marseille, Monticelli left Provence to study in Paris with Paul Delaroche. Although he had been trained to work in a Neo-classical style by his teachers in Marseille, in Paris he admired the Troubadour pictures of such artists as Pierre R?voil and Fleury Richard and the bold colours and rich surface impasto of Delacroix's oil sketches. He also copied many of the Old Masters in the Louvre. When he returned to Marseille in 1847 Emile Loubon (1809-63), newly appointed director of the Ecole de Dessin in Marseille and a friend of many realist landscape painters in Paris, encouraged him and another local painter, Paul Guigou Hills, Anna AltheaAmerican Painter, 1882-1930
