MULREADY, WILLIAM, born at Ennis,
County Clare, Ireland,
April 30, 1786, died
in London, July 7,
1863. Son of a leather-*breeches-maker,
who
removed to London,
where, when fifteen
years old, William entered
the schools of
the Royal Academy;
exhibited first in 1803,
became an A.R.A. in 1815, and R.A. in
1816. He began by painting landscapes,
but soon turned his attention to subject-*painting,
and by careful study of the Dutch
masters won a high position in that branch
of art. His whole life was devoted to his
profession; he drew in the Life-School
of the Academy up to two evenings before
his death, and left many exquisite chalk
studies and designs. Some of his best pictures
were painted from his illustrations on
wood for the Vicar of Wakefield (1840).
