Reproductions on canvas John Speed

John Speed lived and worked at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. An Englishman, in addition to being an educated historian, he also partook in cartography. His career shows how, with great talent, hard work is also of paramount importance. After all, the painter worked as a tailor, but his passion for art in its broadest sense drew the interest of the right people, who, with the right patronage, enabled him to develop his creative side. The Englishman quit his physical job, took up a scholarship, and his talent was recognized by Queen Elizabeth herself, providing the artist with a room at Custom House.
