Das ganze Leben1823
An affair with the Duchess of Bedford

First trip to Scotland
Visits Scotland for the first time together with Charles Robert Leslie, and the trip has a great effect on him; he will return many times to make studies, and the Highlands will provide the subjects, both human and animal, for many of his important paintings.

Elected an Associate of the Royal Academy at the minimum age of 24.
