Raised in a cottage named <a href="/wiki/Romney_Cottage" title="Romney Cottage">High Cocken</a> in modern-day <a href="/wiki/Barrow-in-Furness" title="Barrow-in-Furness">Barrow-in-Furness</a>, he was sent to school at nearby <a href="/wiki/Dendron,_Cumbria" title="Dendron, Cumbria">Dendron</a>. He appears to have been an indifferent student and was withdrawn at the age of 11 and apprenticed to his father's business instead. </p><p>He proved to have a natural ability for drawing and making things from wood – including violins (which he played throughout his life). From the age of 15, he was taught art informally by a local watchmaker called John Williamson, but his studies began in earnest in 1755, when he went to <a href="/wiki/Kendal" title="Kendal">Kendal</a>, at the age of 21, for a 4-year apprenticeship with local artist Christopher Steele – a portraitist who had himself studied with distinguished French artist <a href="/wiki/Charles-Andr%C3%A9_van_Loo" title="Charles-André van Loo">Carlo Vanloo</a>. All costs were to be borne by George's father. </p><p>In October 1756, Romney married Mary Abbot (a decision he initially regretted), but the couple were immediately separated when he was called away to <a href="/wiki/York" title="York">York</a> on business by his employer. After a year, Steele eventually agreed to cancel the apprenticeship, at George's request, leaving the young artist – now a father of a son – free to pursue his own career as a painter.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Work">Work</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=George_Romney_(painter)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Work"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Westmorland">Westmorland</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=George_Romney_(painter)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Westmorland"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1757, Romney rejoined his wife and young son in <a href="/wiki/Kendal" title="Kendal">Kendal</a>, working as a portraitist, landscape and historical painter.

According to friends of Romney, he was awarded the second prize of 50 <a href="/wiki/Guinea_(British_coin)" class="mw-redirect" title="Guinea (British coin)">guineas</a>, but this was later reduced to 25 guineas on questionable grounds. It is said that Sir <a href="/wiki/Joshua_Reynolds" title="Joshua Reynolds">Joshua Reynolds</a> himself was the prime mover behind this decision, a fact which may have accounted for the lifelong aversion of the two men for each other. </p><p>Despite his later success, Romney was never invited to join the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Academy_of_Arts" title="Royal Academy of Arts">Royal Academy of Arts</a> (formed 1768), though he was asked, urged even, to exhibit there – nor did he ever apply to join. This decision certainly cost him valuable royal patronage and support from others connected at court. While there has been much speculation about his actual relationship with the academy, there is no doubt that he normally remained aloof, maintaining that a good artist should succeed without being a member. His own career supported this belief, and it was only towards the end of his life that he expressed the slightest regret for his views.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>His early years in the capital were something of a financial struggle . In September 1764, he travelled to <a href="/wiki/Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a> (with a friend, lawyer Thomas Greene) for a few weeks to study the works of the old masters (travel abroad was seen as a requisite of a developing artist's training as the opportunity to view great art in London was very limited). In 1765 he again won the second prize of 50 guineas in the Royal Society of Arts competition. In 1768, he made the acquaintance of <a href="/wiki/Richard_Cumberland_(dramatist)" title="Richard Cumberland (dramatist)">Richard Cumberland</a>, the dramatist, whose portrait he painted, and who was helpful in introducing him to influential patrons. He also became friends with miniature painter <a href="/wiki/Ozias_Humphrey" class="mw-redirect" title="Ozias Humphrey">Ozias Humphrey</a>. </p><p>1769 was a breakthrough year – he exhibited a large portrait of Sir <a href="/wiki/George_Warren_(MP)" title="George Warren (MP)">George Warren</a> and family at the Free Society of Artists, which was greatly admired and helped to lay the foundations of his future popularity. In 1770 he started to exhibit his work at the <a href="/wiki/Society_of_Artists_of_Great_Britain" title="Society of Artists of Great Britain">Chartered Society of Artists</a> rather the rival "Free Society of Artists". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Italy">Italy</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=George_Romney_(painter)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Italy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By 1772 Romney was financially secure enough to make the journey (with Ozias Humphrey) to Italy to study the great artists of the past, as he had always intended. He set off in March, making his way through Europe (via Paris, <a href="/wiki/Lyon" title="Lyon">Lyon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Marseilles" class="mw-redirect" title="Marseilles">Marseilles</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nice" title="Nice">Nice</a>, <a href="/wiki/Genoa" title="Genoa">Genoa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Livorno" title="Livorno">Livorno</a>, <a href="/wiki/Florence" title="Florence">Florence</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pisa" title="Pisa">Pisa</a>) and arriving in Rome in June.
