The RBA was founded in 1823 by a group of artists meeting in Lincoln’s Inn Fields. At the time artists had celebrity status, pursued by royalty and the aristocracy and their work collected by the giant industrialists of the day.

Prominent members included James McNeill Whistler, Walter Sickert, L.S. Lowry, Henry Moore, John Nash and Edward Burra.
