羅伯特·戴頓
開創溫和英式諷刺漫畫藝術
羅伯特·迪頓約於1752年出生於倫敦,並於1814年在該地去世。他是一位英國肖像畫家、版畫家和漫畫家,也是開創了一個追隨其足跡的藝術家世系的創始人。 羅伯特·迪頓是倫敦版畫商約翰·迪頓的兒子。1770年代,他開始在乾草市場劇院、科文特花園和薩德勒之井的戲劇中表演和演唱,同時也在皇家藝術學院接受訓練並展出作品——他於1722年進入皇家藝術學院學習。他還於1769年至1773年間在自由藝術家協會展出作品。他設計的首批版畫是為約翰·貝爾版莎士比亞作品集(1775–76年)所繪製的演員肖像。 身為一名藝術家,他首次獲得出版商卡林頓·鮑爾斯(活躍於1752–93年)提供的穩定工作。這正是所謂「滑稽」美柔汀版畫的鼎盛時期,羅伯特創作的設計作品先以水彩繪製,再加以雕刻,構成了其庫存的重要組成部分。卡林頓·鮑爾斯是當時倫敦最活躍的地圖銷售商之一,這也解釋了迪頓在其《被施了魔法的地理》系列中創作的諷刺地圖,其中包括愛爾蘭、英格蘭和威爾斯以及蘇格蘭。 戴頓的早期作品大多匿名出版,但到了1790年代初,他的名聲日益顯赫,開始以本名進行蝕刻和出版。戴頓的諷刺漫畫人物姿態笨拙、面色紅潤,題材包括在城中隨處可見的律師、軍官、男女演員,以及落魄潦倒之徒。1795年,他出版了《頭像集》,此後主要致力於漫畫創作。與同時代的詹姆斯·吉爾雷和喬治·克魯克香克相比,他的作品被認為不那麼尖刻。 By the start of the century, his success allowed him to open a shop in Charing Cross, where he sold his own prints and those of others until it emerged in 1806 that part of his stock was stolen from the British Museum. An art dealer by the name of Samuel Woodburn had purchased a print, an impression of Rembrandt's Coach Landscape, from Dighton and, supposing it might be a copy, took the print to the British Museum to compare it with the impression there. When it was discovered that their impression was missing, Dighton confessed that he had befriended a museum official by drawing portraits of him and his daughter during his visits and used this relationship to remove prints from the museum hidden in his portfolio. 由於他的合作,迪頓免於被起訴,但被迫在牛津低調行事,直到醜聞平息。在此期間,他創作了一系列風趣的肖像畫,描繪學者類型和鄉村紳士,並在巴斯和劍橋也進行了類似創作。1810年返回倫敦後,他重新開設了自己的工作室,與兒子們一起工作,直至1814年去世。
