| biography:
| Watercolourist, born in Norwich, Norfolk, E England, UK. He studied art in London, and returned to Norwich in 1806, where he became a leading member of the Norwich School. At Yarmouth (1811–23) he executed some fine oil paintings and etchings, but lack of success made him sell his pictures and possessions and return to London (1834), where he became drawing master of King's College. His best work shows a masterly arrangement of masses of light and shade, with a minimum of modelling, as in ‘Greta Bridge’ (c.1805). His two sons were also landscape painters. |
