At that time he was employed in his father's wire fence factory, where he developed sympathies for the poor and oppressed of the working class. Redgrave was not to be able to realize his artistic dream until the age of 22, when he was accepted at the renowned London Royal Academy of Arts.
While at the beginning of his career he mainly painted anecdotal scenes from English literature, later on he became increasingly interested in motifs from the contemporary life of the socially disadvantaged classes. His aim was to use painting to draw attention to the challenges and suffering of the weakest members of society. His most popular motifs therefore include portraits of poor, working women, such as the painting "The Sempstress", which provides an insight into the reality of the life of a young seamstress. This and other works by Redgrave have been exhibited at the Royal Academy, British Institution and the Society of British Artists, making him better known as a painter. However, at the end of his artistic career Redgrave left genre painting and turned to landscape painting. His atmospheric landscapes were stylistically associated with the paintings of the Pre-Raphaelites and the representatives of Romanticism. Meanwhile, Richard Redgrave was not only active as a painter, but also worked in the field of arts and crafts. The vases, jugs and other everyday objects that he created during his creative period as a designer bear witness to his wealth of ideas and forms. Due to his administrative talent, he was also entrusted with the direction of the Government School of Design, where he also worked as a lecturer. There he became one of the most famous reformers of artistic education in England. Redgrave also organised the appearance of the English Art Department at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1855 and the London World's Fair in 1866, where his reputation paved the way for his appointment as Head of the Queen Victoria Art Collection. However, he resigned this post after a few years when he wrote the art historical work "A Century of British Painters" together with his brother, Samuel Redgrave. The siblings knew many of the artistic personalities described in it personally, which is why the book is an important source for research into English artists of the 18th and 19th centuries.
In the last part of his life Redgrave increasingly lost his eyesight and died in 1888 as a result of his old age. In the perception of his contemporaries, however, he remained a multi-talented artist who rendered great service to his state.
