John Russell R.A (1745-1806) Royal Academician John Russell was not only Britain’s foremost pastellist, he was also one of the most prolific. He exhibited more pastels at the Royal Academy than any other artist, and left a body of work far larger than that of any other pastellist working before 1800. He also wrote about his art, as well as leaving a series of diaries principally devoted to his spiritual development as a strict Methodist.
