RICHARDSON, JONATHAN, born in 1665, died in London, May 28, 1745. Portrait painter, pupil of John Riley; ranked, after the death of Kneller and Dahl, at the head of his profession. His heads are individual and characteristic, but his full-*lengths are weak. Among his best known portraits are those of Anne Oldfield, Pope, Prior, Steele, Vertue, and Lord Chancellor Talbot, National Portrait Gallery, London; Pope and his Dog Bounce, Lord Lyttleton. He was also distinguished as the author of "An Essay on the whole Art of Criticism in relation to Painting" (1719), "An Argument in behalf of the Science of a Connoisseur" (1719), and other works. His son, Jonathan (1694-1771), was an amateur portrait painter and often assisted him in his labours.—Redgrave; F. de Conches, 84; Portfolio (1872), 66.
