William Bradley (painter)
William Bradley (1801–1857) was an English portrait artist. Biography Bradley was born in Manchester, England. He was left an orphan when only three years of age.

He took portraits at one shilling each and advertising himself as "portrait, miniature, and animal painter, and teacher of drawing". He had a few lessons himself from Mather Brown, then in high repute at Manchester; and at the age of twenty-one went to London, where he was fortunate enough to obtain an introduction to Sir Thomas Lawrence, who gave him encouragement. After remaining some years in the metropolis, in the course of which time he paid occasional visits to Manchester, he finally, in 1847, settled down in the latter town; where, as in London, he enjoyed a large share of patronage. Amongst the portraits painted by him are those of Lords Beresford, Sandon, Denbigh, Bagot, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
