阿瑟·德维斯
英国对话式肖像画先驱
阿瑟·德维斯是一位出生于兰开夏郡的艺术家，是画家安东尼·德维斯（1729–1816）的同父异母兄弟，也是画家托马斯·安东尼·德维斯（1757–1810）和阿瑟·威廉·德维斯（1762–1822）的父亲。他在艺术史上的地位通常被认定为一种如今被称为‘群像画’的肖像画家。 亚瑟师从佛兰德画家彼得·蒂勒曼斯。尽管他早期的部分作品是风景画，但他也利用家族关系为支持詹姆斯党的兰开夏郡家族成员绘制肖像，从而赢得客户。事实上，到1737年，他已转向肖像画创作，并在伦敦开设了工作室。 在伦敦，德维斯获得了相当的声誉，尽管他的成功呈某种抛物线趋势。面对约书亚·雷诺兹和约翰·佐法尼等画家作品所代表的其他流行艺术潮流，他的委托逐渐减少，被迫转行修复画作。他于1742年结婚，育有二十二个孩子，但存活者寥寥。1783年，他出售了自己拥有的所有画作，并于1787年在布莱顿退休后去世。
