Artist
J. Thornthwaite
J. Thornthwaite is a Romanticism artist. 10 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This artist made prints of actors on stage in the 1700s, turning famous roles into portraits. Look at *Mrs. Siddons as Matilda in the 'Carmelite'*—a strong woman in a play costume—or *Mr. Garrick as Sir John Brute*, showing a man mid-scene. These prints captured live theater for people who missed the show. Want to see another actor brought to paper? Tap *Mr Parsons in the character of Periwinkle*.
