He was only 25 years old and his creative period was limited to ten years. But during these years Richard Parkes Bonington created an impressive œuvre with more than 400 paintings and drawings. He was born in 1802 in Arnold near Nottingham, England. However, he spent most of his life in France. The reason was the economic situation in England. In Calais, Bonington senior built up a manufactory for lace. Richard had inherited the talent from his father, who was a drawing teacher and portrait painter and supported his only son artistically. It was a happy coincidence that Richard was taught in Calais by François Louis Thomas Francia. The French watercolour painter was famous for his coastal landscapes. Richard Parkes Bonington was a child of the fading classicism and the just blossoming romanticism. Just the right genre for the young artist who put romance and watercolor to paper in perfection.
When he moved with his family from Calais to Paris in 1818, where his parents started a lace shop, a whole new world of art opened up to him. He became acquainted with EEugene Delacroix, in the Louvre as is occasionally colocated. It cannot be ruled out, since Bonington copied Dutch and Flemish landscapes in the Louvre. Two years after his arrival in the Seine city he began to study at the École des Beaux-Arts with Antoine-Jean Gros. Gros was well known for his historical paintings depicting the rise of Napoleon I. At about the same time Bonington made one of his many journeys, from which he brought back countless sketches. At first he went to the suburbs of Paris and the surrounding countryside. Later, he traveled the northern French coast in search of his subjects. Inspired by Gros, he immortalized his coastal landscapes in oil on canvas. He worked in lithography and illustrated a travel book by Baron Taylor, as well as his own architectural series.
On a trip to London, Bonington met Delacroix at the home of the French painter Alexandre-Marie Colin. The three of them sketched and lithographed each other's works. Back in Paris, Delacroix and Bonington shared a studio, and the latter, encouraged by his artist friend, turned to history painting. Bonington remained faithful to watercolour, however, and developed an unusual technique by mixing watercolour with gum and gouache. In this way he achieved an effect that strongly resembled oil painting. In 1822 Richard Parkes Bonington exhibited his first paintings at the Salon de Paris. This world-famous art exhibition was called into being by King Louis XIV in 1667. Bonington became the star of the Paris Salon and received a gold medal. For study purposes he traveled to northern Italy and Venice. Suffering from tuberculosis, his parents sent him to London in 1827, accompanied by Delacroix. It was to be his last journey. On 23 September 1828 he succumbed to his illness. Delacroix said of his work that Bonington's unique lightness made his works shine like diamonds.
