	Joseph Wright of Derby by Amandine Guerrero&Sandra Chevalier ; Design by Tha DeMana
		Joseph Wright of Derby was a painter of the late XVIIIth century.
		Joseph Wright was born in 1734 in Derby, hence the title “of Derby” that is always attached to his name by art critics.
		The majesty and serenity of Wright’s last portraits, at a technical level, are due to both the development and improvement of the second stage of creation, and to a return to the traditional layers of preparation he used at the beginning of his career, as exemplified in the portrait Brooke Boothby.

	Joseph Wright of Derby Biography
		Joseph Wright was born in Derby, a small city in central England, at the heart of the Industrial Revolution.
		Wright and Whitehurst were therefore similiarly concerned with Newtonian physics and philosophy and the latter's experience as a clockmaker would also have enabled him to advise his friend on the operation of the Orrery.
		The name "Wright of Derby" was applied to him by reviewers of the Society of Artists' exhibitions in the 1760s, to distinguish him from the Liverpool artist, Richard Wright, who was already exhibiting.

	Light and Enlightenment in Joseph Wright of Derby’s The Alchymist
		Whether Wright was consciously aware of his manipulation of meaningful themes and symbols or not is irrelevant to this discussion: the resulting image employed current, relevant and recognizable tropes and was open to interpretation to a range of contemporary viewers.
		Wright’s particular kind of extreme shading is often identified as chiaroscuro, the use of shading to denote three-dimensionality; it is also identified as tenebrism, the use of shadow.
		Wright’s paintings do not employ a gentle light source to enhance the three-dimensional aspect of his subjects: the figures appear flattened in the shortened perspective of the room, the extreme contrast between light and dark, and in the flatness of colour and canvas.

		Joseph Wright, usually known as WRIGHT OF DERBY (1734-1797) was an English painter who pioneered in the artistic treatment of early bourgeois society.
		Wright's home was Derby, one of the great centres of the birth of the Industrial Revolution, and his depictions of scenes lit by moonlight or candlelight combine the realism of the new machinery with a suggestion of the future school of romanticism.
		What Wright discovered in Italy was the power of Vesuvius, and his two pictures of the eruptions of 1774 and 1776 are often cited as a foretaste of romanticism.
