George Romney: A Complete Catalogue of His Paintings

Focusing on George Romney's significant yet overlooked contributions to 18th-century British portrait painting, this extensive three-volume catalogue features nearly 2,000 illustrations and over 1,800 entries. Alex Kidson's two-decade research effort clarifies attributions, distinguishing genuine works from those previously misattributed. Drawing on primary sources like account books and sketchbooks, as well as contemporary reviews, Kidson reestablishes Romney's status alongside Reynolds and Gainsborough, aiming to elevate his recognition in art history.
