Summary:

"When the imaginative landscape-painter Francis Danby died in 1861, his reputation died as well, owing to a shift in public taste, the loss or decay of many of his best works, and the secrecy surrounding much of his personal life. In this first full-length study of the artist, Eric Adams provides a reliable and comprehensive account of Danby's life and career and assesses his contribution to British romantic art..."--Publisher's description.
