Although a student of Reynolds, Mortimer painted in a picturesque, flamboyant, and romantic style. Banditti was the preferential subject for Salvator Rosa, inspiring works like Banditti Going out in the Morning (1773). Mortimer was also fascinated with subjects and themes from Anglo-Saxon history rather than Classical Greece and Rome.
