New Associates of the Royal Academy: Mr. G. A. Storey, A.R.A. 1876. Creator: Unknown
New Associates of the Royal Academy: Mr. G. A. Storey, A.R.A. 1876. Engraving from photographs by Messrs. Fradelle and Marshall, of Regent-street....Mr. Storey's early life was that common to almost all artists - the natural bent early shown, perseverance despite coldness or more active opposition, and ultimate triumph. At nine years of age he was modelling in the studio of the late Mr. Behnes; about thirteen he received a silver palette at school for the best oil picture; at fourteen he made copies in the Louvre; at sixteen he entered a London architect's office, whence he soon transferred himself to Mr. Leigh's academy in Newman-street, and thence to the Royal Academy Schools...Mr. Storey's early-exhibited pictures are varied and undecided in aim, and as late as 1883 he was painting Spanish grandees at Madrid'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, featuring George Adolphus Storey, A.R.A. (Associate of the Royal Academy), was published in the Illustrated London News in 1876. The image is an engraving from photographs taken by Messrs. Fradelle and Marshall of Regent-street. George Adolphus Storey's artistic journey began in his early years, much like that of many artists. At the tender age of nine, he was already modelling in the studio of the late Mr. Behnes. By the time he was thirteen, he had received a silver palette at school for the best oil picture. At fourteen, Storey made copies in the Louvre, and at sixteen, he entered an architect's office in London, later transferring to Leigh's academy in Newman-street, and eventually the Royal Academy Schools. Storey's early exhibited works were varied and uncertain in purpose. As late as 1883, he was painting Spanish grandees in Madrid. This photograph captures Storey in the prime of his career, wearing the coveted title of Royal Academician. The image serves as a testament to his perseverance and ultimate triumph in the face of adversity. Despite the challenges and uncertainties of his early years, Storey's natural talent and dedication to his craft paved the way for his success in the art world. This photograph print, with its rich history and intriguing subject matter, is a valuable addition to any art or history collection. It offers a glimpse into the life of a talented artist and the artistic landscape of the 19th century.
