[[Sir Joshua Reynolds]] (Plympton, Devon 1723- London 1792) was an English Rococo Painter and distinguished member of London's intellectual society. By 1760, Reynolds had become the most popular portrait painter in London. In 1768, he founded with Thomas Gainsborough the Royal Academy of Arts.
Reynolds' works show an exceptional combination of emotions and technique. Often portraiture with subjects related to Greek and Roman deities, or men, children and women in a wonderful colorist style.
Creativity, diversity and originality is present in his painting. Portrait of Nelli O’Brien (Wallace collection) is considered one of his masterpieces.
Since 1912, an statue of him is in the courtyard of the Royal Academy. <ref>[http://www.abcgallery.com/R/reynolds/reynoldsbio.html Sir Joshua Reynolds] Olga's Gallery.</ref>
