Hubert Gravelot (Paris, 1699 - 1773)
'The Incident'
Oil on canvas
Hubert Gravelot is not much recorded as a painter, but his not inconsiderable influence was felt in London in the field of draughtsmanship. Here his energies as a teacher, both at his own school and at the St. Martin's Lane Academy, made a considerable impact. The young Thomas Gainsborough attended this institution and received much encouragement; indeed he is recorded as painting in backgrounds to Gravelot's pictures in the mid 1740's.
