	Richard C. Woodville - Artist Biographies
		Woodville painted one work on a European subject in this technique, but since even in Europe he preferred to paint American scenes, he began to work from sketches he had brought with him.
		Woodville's paintings were well composed and excellently drawn, somber in color but with small bright touches, dramatic but rather literary and aloof, and indicative of a sense of humor that laughed at, rather than with, the subject.
		French art appealed to Woodville, although it had no noticeable effect upon his style, for he continued to paint Düsseldorfian genre pictures on American subjects until he died in London from an accidental overdose of drugs at the age of thirty.

		When Edward came to the throne in April 1483, his uncle Richard (brother of King Edward IV) declared himself 'Lord High Protector' of the realm and removed the two young boys to the Tower of London for, or so he claimed, their protection.
		Richard then took steps to persuade parliament that Edward was not legally king because his parents had not been officially married, and that he himself should be crowned.
