Passionate Customer Service Museum Quality Art Prints Customization Options AvailableThe so long and eventful history of European art is not only characterized by almost innumerable and historically equally mutually inspiring as well as divergent styles and their sometimes even "to the blood" hostile and intimately averse epigones and representatives. Artists who closely observe and often bitterly fight each other and condemn each other as "dilettantes" are a psychological and sociological constant from antiquity to the present day. Despite all the underlying jealousy of foreign successes, they have always been an important motor for very significant and epoch-making events and developments in the art world. Often, extremely intense and persistent artistic debates, controversies and disputes are less or not exclusively sparked by the different ways of representation and working, but also by fiercely discussed questions about the suitability and permissibility of certain colours, materials and techniques for serious or serious art. Current examples include the painting genres of "graffiti" and/or "street art", which are usually rejected all round by more conservative art lovers as "graffiti" and "disfigurement of public spaces".
From today's point of view, it may appear to most art lovers to be abundantly amusing and inexplicable, but even in the 19th century there were already debates, conducted with almost religious fervour and devotion, about certain techniques of painting, which at that time caused a great deal of excitement among all concerned and contributed to the emergence and foundation of what are today internationally accepted and globally renowned art institutions. This was the case, for example, with the 1831 London exhibition by William Cowen, W. B. S. Taylor, James Fudge, Joseph Powell, Thomas Maisey, Thomas Charles Wageman and O. F. Phillips, which served as a liberal rival to the Society of Painters in Water Colours (now the Royal Watercolour Society) founded in 1804 and which has been residing since 1885 as the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI) at the time-honoured headquarters of the Federation of British Artists (FBA) in the Mall Galleries on Carlton House Terrace near Trafalgar Square. Both organizations and their members were not necessarily sympathetic to each other, but were nevertheless united in their opposition to the "Royal Academy of Arts", which at the time strictly refused to accept watercolors made of non-opaque watercolors as art.
Another founding member of the new organisation of watercolour painters, which rebelled against so much artistic ignorance, was the draughtsman George Shepherd , who as a child had lived in France with his parents until 1793 and only returned to England and London because of the revolutionary events of the time on the southern bank of the English Channel. Already in the years 1803 and 1804 the still quite young Shepherd was awarded with the Silver Plaque by the "Society of Arts" for his successful creative work. He also gained a good reputation as a proven and much sought-after painter of architecture and landscapes. Together with his younger brother Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, who was also an excellent painter and draughtsman, he also produced many detailed illustrations of street views for the publishers John Britton and Rudolph Ackermann for standard works of British architectural history such as the "Architectural Antinquities of Great Britain" and "Architectura Ecclesiastica Londini".
