		Richard Wilson's success is very important because at the time there was a general bias against British artists painting classical themes or landscapes.
		Wilson had all the features that would enable him to gain the trust of the British nobility: he had received an education in the classics while his mother, Alice Wynne of Leeswood was related to some of the most wealthy and influential families of North Wales.
		Wilson's education together with his knowledge of the Italian language meant that he was a good companion for the British aristocrats of the Grand Tour, some of whom commissioned work by the artist.

	ART / 4 / 2DAY
		Wilson was a founder-member of the Royal Academy and enjoyed considerable success until the early 1770s, but his last years were penurious and his reputation in decline.
		Through William Hodges [1744 – 06 Mar 1797], a former student who published a short essay on Richard Wilson in 1790, and through other ex-students (notably Joseph Farington and Thomas Jones), the status of Wilson’s work improved; gradually it began to influence the artists of J. Turner’s generation.
		Wilson never allowed his figures to dominate the landscape, and he was displeased when the owner of the picture had the main figure group repainted by another artist, John Hamilton Mortimer [1740 – 04 Feb 1779], to strengthen the human element.

		They show how Wilson tempered his delicate observation of light and distance with the discipline of such 17th-century classical Baroque painters as Poussin and Claude.
		The order and clarity rather than the classical apparatus of Italy survive, and Wilson's exact and tranquil recording of clear or suffused air, distance, and varied lights predominates, as in his famed "Snowdon." His landscapes of this period exerted considerable influence on J.M.W. Turner, John Constable, and John Crome.
		Wilson's later works, such as "Minchenden House," tend to abandon formal composition, using tonal methods of recording space.
