その頃、George Romneyの人生では
生涯をすべて見るMarch 1772
Sets out for Italy with Ozias Humphry
Now secure enough financially, he sets out to study the great artists of the past, as he had always intended, travelling through Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Genoa, Livorno, Florence and Pisa.
1772
Studies Raphael’s frescoes in Rome with the Pope’s leave
He reaches Rome in June; a letter of introduction lets him meet Pope Clement XIV, who permits him to set up scaffolding in the Apostolic Palace to study Raphael’s frescoes. He spends eighteen months in Rome making studies and sketches of the great works on view.
c. 1775
Commissions from the Duke of Richmond and his circle
Charles Lennox, 3rd Duke of Richmond, and his circle of friends offer Romney commissions, which turn the tide of the artist’s fortunes permanently in his favour.
1775
Settles in Cavendish Square
On his return he takes a house in Cavendish Square, formerly owned by the noted portraitist Francis Cotes, but remains considerably in debt, both his own and that of his brother Peter, an artistic but dissolute man.
1775
Returns from Italy to London
After an absence of over two years he returns to London by way of Florence, Bologna, Venice, Parma and Turin.
