George Engleheart: A Regency Miniature Maestro George Engleheart (1750–1829) stands as a pivotal figure in the annals of English portrait miniature painting, cementing his place alongside luminaries like Richard Cosway and John Smart during the opulent reign of George III. Born in Kew, Surrey, on October 26th, 1750, Engleheart’s artistic journey began amidst humble beginnings – his father, Francis Englehart, a German plaster modeller who had emigrated to England as a child, instilled in him an appreciation for craftsmanship and detail.

A chart of George Engleheart's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
