Popis: Without a king commander on the field, or the opportunity for public approbation, British battle painting paled in comparison to its French counterparts. The founding of the Royal Academy in the eighteenth century contributed to a flourishing of the art, spearheaded by a few sensational pieces that captured the imagination of the British public. Though the convention may have been usurped by modern photography, the continuing reproduction of famous battle paintings confirms their enduring popularity.
