Joseph Wright of Derby: Bath and Beyond by Amina Wright

London and Bath: Philip Wilson Publishers and The Holburne Museum, Bath, 2014. First Edition. Card wraps. Fine. 4to (28cm). pp. 111. Profusely illus. "Joseph Wright (1734-1797) arrived in Bath from his native Derby in November 1775. Recently returned from a tour of Italy, he came to the fashionable spa town to re-establish his business as a portrait painter, hoping to fill the vacancy left by Thomas Gainsborough the previous year. This book, the first to examine Wright's little-known Bath period, places the artist in the context of a city then at the height of its unique cultural significance. Using rarely-seen illustrations of his work, it considers his attempts to conquer a saturated portrait market with images of local celebrities, and his use of domestic spaces for public exhibition."
