Joseph Wright of Derby was born into the age of the beginning industrial revolution. Closely associated with his hometown of Derby, he developed an early interest in the natural sciences. Wright took his first steps as a painter during his apprenticeship with a portrait painter. He adopted the style of his teacher with moderate success. Profitable commissions failed to materialize.
Joseph Wright of Derby changed his style and incorporated his love of the scientific discoveries of his time into the paintings. Wright created the first painting of the Industrial Revolution, The Experiment with the Bird in the Air Pump. At the same time, he created a series of depictions of candle-lit people at the center of the painting. This way of depicting people was new and the artist received the long awaited attention. Derby went one step further with the positioning of scientific apparatus as the centre of his work.
He took up the style of chiaroscuro painting, which had already found its way into Dutch painting, and experimented with artificial light sources. Joseph Wright demonstrated his ability to depict landscapes in a realistic way in the play of light with Cave in the Evening. Repeated attempts at portraiture failed because of his realistic way of depiction, which was often not desired by the client.
