Brief Biography-James Seymour was born in London in 1702, the son of a wealthy banker. He became a painter of horses, for which he had a passion and was a friend of Sir Peter Lely. However, his overindulgence in the racing world eventually led to bankruptcy, and he died in poverty in London in 1752. Critics disapproved of his colouring; however, his paintings of horses are amongst the best. |
