'''English Painting''' has a long and rich history. It is believed that [[English]] painting had been influenced by the [[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 ([[Hans Holbein the Younger]], [[Anthony van Dyck]], etc.), from mainland Europe, and painting was essentially an aristocratic matter (Works from the masters of Italian Renaissance were in the collections of the Earl of Arundel and the Duke of Buckingham). Nineteenth Century, "The Great Century of British Painting", produced a variety of outstanding works. In late XIX century, [[Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema]], a classical-subject Dutch painter, the most successful of the Victorian era, influenced English painting (in some list he appears as English painter). <ref>[http://victorianartinbritain.co.uk/artists.htm Short Biographies of Leading Victorian Painters]</ref> Portraits and landscape painting have been the great English specialism.
