HONE, NATHANIEL (1718-1784)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 652 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HONE, NATHANIEL (1718-1784) , British painter, was the son of a
merchant
  at Dublin, and without any
regular
  training acquired in his youth much skill as a portrait-painter. Early in his career he left Dublin for
England
  and worked first in various provincial towns, but ultimately settled in London, where he soon made a considerable reputation. His oil-paintings were decidedly popular, but he gained his
chief
  success by his miniatures and enamels, which he executed with masterly capacity. He became a member of the Incorporated Society of Artists and afterwards a
foundation
  member of the Royal
Academy
 ; but he had several disagreements with his fellow-members of that institution, and on one occasion they rejected two of his pictures, one of which was regarded as a
satire
  on Reynolds and the other on Angelica Kauffman. Most of his contributions to the
Academy
  exhibitions were portraits. The quality of his
work
  varied greatly, but the merit of his miniatures and enamels entitles him to a
place
  among the ablest artists of the British school. He executed also a few mezzo-tint plates of reasonable importance, and some etchings. His portrait, painted by himself two years before his death, is in the possession of the Royal Academy.
