Clare Journal, Mon 13 Jul 1863:
I see that an article on William Mulready, “William Mulready – eminent Victorian,” by Pat Flynn, was published in The Other Clare, Vol. 6, 1982 (Alas, I don’t have that issue), and there is also a piece on him in “Clare People”: https://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/cocla ... lready.htmDeath of Mr Mulready. R.A.
We have to announce, with regret, the death of Mr. William Mulready, R.A., which occurred on Wednesday at his residence in Kensington. The deceased artist was born, as we learn from “Men of the Time,” in the year 1786, and had therefore attained the advance age of 77 years. His native place was Ennis, Clare. At the age of 14 he became a student of the Royal Academy, after he had attracted the attention of Bank, the sculptor, and earned the encouraging prophecy “that he would distinguish himself.” Classical and scriptural subjects, on a large scale, were among his earlier productions; but he soon left this school and devoted himself to “genre” painting. At first something of his mannerism in colour detracted from the merits of this great British painter. But his conscientious industry and the length of study which he gave to the maturing of a subject, enabled him to overcome all defects. At the age of twenty he had exhibited several pictures, which, comparatively unnoticed at the time, excited general admiration thirty years later. In 1815 he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy, and he became R. A. in the following year. It was subsequent to this rapid promotion that he gave to the world his happiest productions. No one who visited the Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition in 1857 will have forgotten his “Wolf and Lamb,” in which a combative schoolboy is about to pummel a time non-resistant. The picture, painted about in 1820, was purchased by George IV, and was lent to our exhibition by the Queen. Besides this, eight other works of this admirable painter were hung up on the walls of the saloons at Old Trafford. It has been said of Mulrady that as a painter his art was perfect for luminous splendour of colour and for delicacy and completion of drawing. In 1848 an exhibition of his works was opened at the Society of Arts, and since that time Mr. Mulready had exhibited very little. In the notices which appeared in our columns of the English school at the Art Treasures Exhibition, it was remarked: ‘Mr. Mulready is a painter to be held up to all younger artists as perhaps the best example our school affords of long and conscientious carefulness in all that he puts his hand to. Let them look at the reward of such labour, not in money, for such work will never make the painter’s fortune; but in fame and rank among the artists of England.”
