Summary "Lawrence" by S. L. Bensusan is a biography that explores the life and works of Sir Thomas Lawrence, a prominent English portrait painter active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book examines Lawrence's rise from humble beginnings to becoming the President of the Royal Academy, detailing his artistic contributions and the context of his times. It likely covers themes such as natural talent versus formal education, the challenges faced by artists within competitive social circles, and the impact of personal relationships on his art. In this biography, Bensusan provides insights into Lawrence's early life, highlighting his prodigious talent that emerged even as a child. The narrative chronicles his struggles amidst financial difficulties and the complexities of his romantic life, particularly his tumultuous relationships with the Siddons sisters, both of whom influenced him deeply. The book also critiques his work, noting his ability to flatter his subjects while struggling with color and composition compared to his contemporaries such as Reynolds and Gainsborough. Through this portrayal, readers gain a richer understanding of Lawrence not only as an artist but also as a complex individual navigating the intricacies of high society.
