'''English Painting''' has a long and rich history.
'''English Painting''' has a long and rich history. It is believed that [[English]] painting had the influenced of [[Celts]]. However some scholars affirm that real English painting started in the 18th century; this is because the most important painters who worked before in England were foreigners ([[Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema]], [[Anthony van Dyck]], etc.), from mainland Europe.
== William Hogarth ==
William Hogarth ''was a professional rebel. He found English art sycophantic, and determined to make it independent. Instead of working for a few rich patrons, he evolved the idea of making his living out of popular engravings of his pictures. He believed that the lack of a native school of painting was largely due to the fashions imposed on a credulous public by connoisseurs and critics and he waged continual war on taste and the Old Masters.
