Isaac Fuller. Isaac Fuller was an English painter.
He is known for works such as Charles II Presented with a Pineapple (Ham House, Richmond) which vividly depicts Charles II receiving a pineapple, symbolizing the exotic luxuries of his court. Another notable work is Battle of the Amazons (Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds) in which Fuller's dynamic composition captures the chaos of a mythological battle.
Additionally, his ceiling paintings at Lincoln's Inn Chapel in London, featuring allegorical and biblical scenes, showcase his baroque style in a religious context with grand, theatrical compositions. Trained in France, he worked in Oxford and London.
Fuller is often said to have been born in 1606, but may have been born as late as 1620. According to Bainbrigge Buckeridge, writing at the beginning of the 18th century, he studied under the French Baroque painter François Perrier in Paris.
During the earlier part of the 1660s Fuller decorated the chapels of Magdalen and All Souls Colleges at Oxford. His work at Magdalen, representing the Resurrection is lost, but a print survives, showing a complex and ambitious composition, derived ultimately from Michelangelo. At All Souls he painted a fresco of The Last Judgement, which is also lost, although some additional panels by Fuller, originally fitted between the roof-trusses in the chancel, survive. John Evelyn said that the fresco would not last long
