SIR MARTIN ARCHER SHEE (1770-1850), English portraitpainter and president of the Royal Academy, was born in Dublin on the 23rd of December 1770.
Young Shee became, nevertheless, a student of art in the Dublin Society, and came early to London, where he was, in 1788, introduced by Burke to Reynolds, by whose advice he studied in the schools of the Royal Academy.
