New Associates of the Royal Academy: Mr. W. F. Woodington, A.R.A. 1876. Creator: Unknown
New Associates of the Royal Academy: Mr. W. F. Woodington, A.R.A. 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Fradelle and Marshall. From childhood he was directed to observe the beauties of nature in the surrounding country, and this, with frequent opportunities of seeing good drawings by painters of repute, combined to give him a taste for the fine arts. In 1815 he came to London, and, after two or three years of preliminary teaching, was articled to Mr. Robert W. Serviers, then eminent as an engraver. About four years later, however, the master became a sculptor, and the pupils, of course, followed his direction in their studies. At the expiration of the term of his indentures Mr. Woodington began his professional career...To the Royal Academy Exhibitions he commenced to contribute a series of ideal works, always marked by a sense of beauty and grace and imaginative feeling'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mr. W. F. Woodington, A.R.A., an accomplished artist who developed a deep appreciation for the arts from an early age. Raised amidst the natural beauty of the countryside, Woodington was influenced by both the surrounding landscape and the works of renowned painters. In 1815, he journeyed to London to pursue his artistic passions, initially studying under the tutelage of engraver Robert W. Serviers. However, Serviers' transition into sculpture led Woodington and his fellow students to adapt their studies accordingly. Upon completing his apprenticeship, Woodington embarked on his professional career. Woodington's contributions to the Royal Academy Exhibitions were marked by a profound sense of beauty, grace, and imaginative feeling. His ideal works, showcased at these prestigious events, reflected his dedication and commitment to the fine arts. The intricacies of this engraving, produced by Fradelle and Marshall from a photograph, serve as a testament to the enduring legacy of this talented artist. Woodington's artistic journey, filled with determination and passion, continues to inspire generations of artists and art enthusiasts alike.
