Samuel Woodforde

Richard Hoare granted Woodforde £100 a year, which allowed him to travel to Italy in 1786.

He spent most of his time in Rome, studying the works of Raphael, Michelangelo, and Paolo Veronese.

[1] Between 1792 and 1815, "he exhibited constantly, showing portraits, scenes of Italian life, historical pictures, and subjects from literature".

On 7 October 1815 he married Jane Gardner; that year the couple left for Italy.

Two years later, Woodforde died of fever at Bologna where he is buried in the cemetery of La Certosa.
