Richard Belgrave Hoppner is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Richard Hoppner carried a pocket mirror to match colors he saw outside. He painted tiny watercolors so exact you’d swear the lake in Landscape with Lake and Mountains was the one glinting behind his London studio. His brush held every reflection like a secret, no big speeches, just quiet accuracy. Tap his 1812 lake scene next; you’ll feel the damp air without leaving your chair.
