The English school of painting was officially recognised at the beginning of the
18th century through the work of William Hogarth. It includes works by the most
famous English artists, such as Thomas Gainsborough, Joseph Mallord William
Turner, John Constable, Edward Burne- Jones, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. This
subject is introduced with a very unique text, published in 1882: a French study
of English pictorial art. The author, Ernest Chesneau, was highly-cultured, an
art historian and inspector of Fine Arts. He explains the beginnings of this
school which excels in portraiture and landscapes, and reminds us of the English
brilliance regarding watercolours, not forgetting to include the work of the
Pre-Raphaelites.
