He was the son of a musician with Hungarian roots. In 1763 the artist came to London. There he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Arts three years later. He completed his practical training as assistant to the famous Scottish portrait painter at Allan Ramsay. During this time Philip Reinagle painted mainly paintings of members of the British royal family. He exhibited his own works for the first time in the halls of the Royal Academy in 1773. Reinagle's career as an artist began as a portrait painter. Later he extended his artistic focus to animal and landscape painting. The always same, monotonous work on the royal portraits increasingly bored him. He developed a real aversion to portrait painting. So another artistic focus had to be found. In 1787 he devoted himself almost exclusively to landscape painting.
But not only oil paintings were the results of his artistic work. Numerous drawings and models for book illustrations are part of his oeuvre. Reinagles illustrations can be found, for example, in Robert John Thornton's "New Illustration of the Sexual System of Linnæus" or in William Taplin's "Sportsman's Cabinet". In the same year the artist became an Associate of the Royal Academy. It took a few more years before he became a regular member of the Royal Academy. In 1812 he succeeded in getting accepted when he presented his painting "An Eagle and a Vulture disputing with a Hyaena". During his artistic career he made numerous copies of landscape works by Dutch masters. Among the reproductions are works by Paul Potter, Meindert Hobbema, Nicolaes Pietersz. Berchem or Karel Dujardin. He made the copies so faithful to detail that even art connoisseurs considered the works to be originals.
Philip Reinagle had a keen interest in nature and wildlife. This is not only evident in his works. Beside his artistic activities he was engaged in the treatment of sporting dogs. In 1771 he took Jane Austin as his wife. The family had two sons and nine daughters. Philip Reinagle put the artistic talent into the cradle of his son Ramsay Richard Reinagle. He continued the family tradition and became a painter himself. In his own works he oriented himself to the style of his father. His second son, however, embarked on a different professional career. Reinagle became 84 years old and died in London. Some of his works can still be seen in museums today. One of his fox-hunting scenes is exhibited in the South Kensington Museum. "A Trout Stream" from 1810 is in the London National Gallery. In the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, further works of the talented artist are exhibited.
