About Robert Taylor
Born in 1946, Robert Taylor
has lived and worked in the Roman city of Bath, England all his life. He
was trained at the Bath School of Art after which he joined a local
gallery as an apprentice picture framer, graduating after some years
into the restoration department. He spent five years as a picture
restorer working on many 'Old Masters' and became recognized as one of
the best restorers in the west of England. During fifteen years working
at the same art gallery he spent all his spare time painting and
drawing, many of his works being sold in the gallery.
At the age of 32, when offered an
opportunity to paint for local publishing group, The Military Gallery,
he took the plunge and became a professional painter. It was at this
time that he began concentrating on marine and aviation subjects, and
during the past decades he has established himself as one of the
foremost artists painting today. |
