Brief Biography-Thomas Robinson, born in Windermere, was a disciple of George Romney. He moved to Ireland at the age of twenty. He advertised his portraits in the Dublin Chronicle for twenty guineas, a whole-length, ten for a half-length and four for head only. While Romney made an impression on his work, Gainsborough became his principal sway. He painted his most famous work in Lisburn, the Battle of Ballynahinch (NGI), which shows the influence of Benjamin West. In 1801 Robinson settled in Belfast. He painted Procession in honour of Lord Nelson, a name he changed from Review of the Belfast Volunteers and Yeomanry by the Earl of Hardwicke and inserted Lord Nelson into it to sell it. In 1808 Thomas Robinson settled in Dublin and became the Society of Artists president. He died in Dublin in 1810.
