Prince Hoare (younger)

Prince Hoare (1755 – 22 December 1834) was an English painter, dramatist and librettist. "Prince" is a given name, not a royal title.

Life edit

Hoare was born in Bath, the son of painter William Hoare and his wife. He was named 'Prince' after his father's brother, a sculptor. He studied art from an early age, and became well known as a painter of portraits and historical scenes. His sister Mary Hoare was also a noted painter.

Later in his life, Hoare wrote 20 plays. He also compiled the Memoirs of Granville Sharp (1820), based on the British abolitionist's manuscripts, family documents and material from the African Institution, London.^[1]
