Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DRO-ECG
EARLOM, RICHARD (1742-1822) , English mezzotint en-graver, was born and died in London. His natural faculty for art appears to have been first called into exercise by admiration for the lord mayor's state coach, just decorated by Cipriani. He tried to copy the paintings, and was sent to study under Cipriani. He displayed
great
  skill as a draughtsman, and at the same time acquired without assistance the art of engraving in mezzotint. In 1765 he was employed_by Alderman Boydell, then one of the most liberal promoters of the fine arts, to make a
series
  of drawings from the pictures at Houghton
Hall
 ; and these he afterwards engraved in mezzotint. His most perfect works as engraver are perhaps the fruit and flower pieces after the Dutch artists Van Os and Van Huysum. Amongst his historical and figure subjects are" Agrippina," after West; " Love in Bondage," after Guido Reni; the " Royal
Academy
 ," the " Embassy of Hyderbeck to meet Lord Cornwallis," and a " Tiger Hunt," the last three after Zoffany; and " Lord Heathfield," after Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Earlom
  also executed a
series
  of 200 facsimiles ofthe drawings and sketches of Claude
Lorraine
 , which was published in 3 vols. folio, under the title of Liber veritatis (1777-1819).
