Francesco Renaldi

Francesco Renaldi (1755–1798 or later)[1][2] was an English-born painter of Italian parentage.[3]

Renaldi entered the Royal Academy Schools in London in October 1776,[4] aged twenty-one. For two years after 1781, Renaldi traveled in Italy, initially with the Welsh landscape painter Thomas Jones.[5] Renaldi was active as a painter in India from 1786 to 1796.[6] Works painted by Renaldi in India include Muslim Lady Reclining (1789), inscribed as being painted at "Dacca" (ie Dhaka) (now in the Yale Center for British Art),[7] and a portrait of the British East India Company's Paymaster General Charles Cockerell and his Wife, Maria Tryphena, and her Sister, Charlotte Blunt (1789) (sold at Christie's, London, 17 March 1978, lot 62).[8]

After his return from India,[9] Renaldi exhibited a conversation piece group portrait of Thomas Jones and his family at the Royal Academy in 1798 (now in the collection of Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales).[10][11]

gollark: They have a bit of a monopolies problem I heard, though probably faster connections in some places.
gollark: Modern wired display connectors need at least gigabytes per second. The latest version of DisplayPort goes up to 80Gbps...
gollark: Here in the UK something like 30Mbps is the common available internet connection speed outside of cities, which means a lot of compression and/or low framerate and/or resolution.
gollark: I think bandwidth might actually be more of an issue because video data is big.
gollark: On the "fibre" connection at home (VDSL to a nearby box advertised as fibre because BT) I get something like 25ms latency to Google DNS, which is less than two frames at 60Hz, so not that bad.
