Richard Dadd An Artist Abroad: Richard Dadd began to exhibit his work in 1837, at the age of
twenty, and soon began to make a reputation. He was
considered to be one of the most promising young artists of his
generation. At the age of twenty-five he was employed to travel
with Sir Thomas Phillips through Europe and the Middle East,
and make drawings of the places they visited. The exhibition
focuses on this ten month period of Dadd's life, towards the end
of which the artist developed symptoms of severe mental
disturbance.
