| dc.description | 'The painter Thomas Beach Beach studied under Joshua Reynolds from 1760 until early in 1762, during which time he was also a student at the Saint Martin?s Lane Academy, London. He probably settled in Bath; his recorded portraits of the 1760s are all of sitters from Dorset or Somerset, and he sent two portraits from an address in Bath to the Society of Artists exhibition of 1772. He exhibited with the Society until 1783, becoming its vice-president (1782) and president (1783) he also exhibited at the Royal Academy (1785?1790, 1797). He probably divided his mature practice between London and Bath.'(www.safran-arts.com) 'One wonders whether Reynolds knew his ex-pupil Thomas Beach's attractive group portrait [seen here], signed and dated 1775 and evidently painted to commemorate a memorable game of cards, since it is remarkably similar to, but pre-dates by several years, Reynold's 'Members of the Society of Dilettanti'.'
