The English Painters.

Painting developed later in England than in the other European countries, partly because both Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell destroyed the works of art in English churches and cathedrals. After the restoration of the Stuart rulers in the 17th and early 18th centuries, people of wealth preferred to employ foreign artists.
