Throughout his time at the National Gallery and for a further seven years Anthony studied at length the works of Rubens, Rembrandt and other Old Masters. His painting and drawing style most resembles the techniques of Leonardo da Vinci and he has dedicated his life to the discovery of all means possible, to paint beautiful works of art.
In his earlier days Anthony earned his living as a portrait artist and painted many of the world's rich and famous, including Lord Mountbatten, Baroness Olympia de Rothschild, Baroness Fiona Thyssen-Bornemisza, Count Guido di Carpegna, Lord Lichfield, Blake Edwards, Julie Christie and Terence Stamp.
