Philip James de Loutherbourg




Philip James de Loutherbourg is a Rococo painting artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Philip James de Loutherbourg painted dramatic stage scenes and sweeping landscapes in 18th-century England. His 1774 oil *David Garrick as Don John* shows the famous actor in a play, full of swirling costumes and dark shadows. He also made prints like *The Flood*, where deep water and eerie light tell a story of disaster. You’ll spot his love of theater and storms in every brushstroke. Tap *The Flood* to see how he turned weather into drama.
