BONINGTON, RICHARD PARKES, born at Arnold, near Nottingham, Oct. 25, 1801, died in London, Sept. 23, 1828. His father, a poor portrait painter, took him, when only fifteen years old, to Paris, where the boy procured permission to copy in the Louvre. He became a student in the École des Beaux Arts, and in 1819 entered the studio of Baron Gros. After obtaining a considerable reputation in Paris and winning the gold medal (1824) for a marine subject, he went to Venice and painted there some elaborate pictures both in oil and water colours, which won him fame and many commissions in England, but his promising career was cut short by death, the result of a sunstroke. Though he painted chiefly landscape and marine views, he also executed figure subjects with much skill, and his influence on the French school of genre and dramatic art was great. Works: Column of St. Mark in Venice, National Gallery, London; Henri IV. and the Spanish Ambassador, Collection
