Imens i livet hos John Singleton Copley
Hele livet1774–1815 · Virkested
London
c. 1800 – 1815
Last years: debts and disappointments
The Napoleonic Wars bring hard times, the house on George Street is expensive to keep up, and a talented son’s education is costly. The equestrian portrait of the Prince Regent brings no return and other canvases that took years of labour go unsold; Copley dies heavily in debt.
1810
A bad fall keeps him from painting for a month
In 1810 Copley has a bad fall that keeps him from painting for a month; he incessantly bewails the loss of his Boston property. On 11 December his wife writes that every difficulty of living is increasing while the advantages of his profession are decreasing.
October 1811
Asks his son-in-law for a £600 loan
In distress, Copley writes to Gardiner Greene asking for an additional loan of £600. On 4 March 1812 he adds that he is still pursuing his profession in the hope that a proper amount will be realized from his works, to himself or his family, but that for now all pursuits that are not among the essentials of life are at a stand.
