  James Northcote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Northcote (October 22, 1746 - July 13, 1831), was an English painter.
The "Death of Wat Tyler", now in the Guildhall, London, was exhibited in 1787; and shortly afterwards Northcote began a set of ten subjects, entitled "The Modest Girl and the Wanton", which were completed and engraved in 1796.
Northcote also sought fame as an author, and his first essays were contributions to the Artist, edited by Prince Hoare.

 Richard Wendorf: After Sir Joshua   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
Northcote's was an insider's view, but a restricted one all the same: neither talented enough to excite Sir Joshua's professional jealousy nor sufficiently lacking in talent to lose him his master's attention, Northcote commanded a liminal listening post in a small room apart from the studio itself.
Northcote later wove these and other documents into the draft of an autobiography, and it is this narrative that he used as the basis for his biography of Reynolds- literally abandoning his own autobiography in order to resurrect the life of his master in 1813.
James Heffernan, for example, is right to point out that Constable's stag is - neither pursued nor persecuted, for by the time Constable painted this canvas he had been a full member of the Academy for seven years, successful both as an artist and as a lecturer.

There are several versions of this painting by Northcote, an earlier one purchased for the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery, where the terrible subject made it one of the most popular pictures in the exhibition.
Part of Northcote's effect is achieved by the raised lamp, the single source of illumination, that casts its light on the cruel faces of the assassins, the two sleeping princes, and the crucifix on the back wall.

Northcote was pleased to find that the elder Ruskin admired the resulting book, which Ruskin himself said "is indeed the best piece of existing criticism founded on the principles of Sir Joshua's school." Like Reynolds, Northcote came from Devon.
Hazlitt is not a mimic, so we do not get Northcote's thick Devon accent, as we can hear it from another Devonian, BR Haydon.
The honesty and straightforwardness that Northcote evinces, and that Hazlitt so clearly relishes, can be seen in his admission that there are some things "in respect to which I am in the same state that a blind man is as to colours.

James Northcote in his _Life of Sir Joshua Reynolds_, published in 1818 (II, 116-19), after describing Johnson's connection with the manuscript, gives two pages of short excerpts.
It is now obvious that Northcote must have been mistaken in the source of his quotations.
Writing as he did many years after the events he was describing, Northcote either had found a copy of the first draft of Miss Reynolds' essay, or erroneously quoted from another anonymous piece which he assumed was by Miss Reynolds.

 NYPL, James Gillray
James Gillray, shown here in a mezzotint after his only known formal self-portrait (a miniature on ivory, in the National Portrait Gallery, London), was born into a Moravian household in the village of Chelsea in 1756.
His first satires, dating from the late 1770s, show the influence of John Hamilton Mortimer, but it was James Sayers’s portrait caricatures that inspired Gillray to find his unique voice, and encouraged him to develop his brilliant and often corrosive repertoire of immediately recognizable characters.
Charles James Fox, eloquent parliamentarian and influential Whig, assured the House of Commons on April 30, 1787, that he knew on “immediate authority” that the Prince of Wales’s marriage to Mrs.
