| biography:
| Landscape painter and etcher, born in London, UK. He produced chiefly watercolours in a mystical and imaginative style derived from his friend William Blake, as in ‘Repose of the Holy Family’ (1824). From 1826 to 1835 he lived in Shoreham, Kent, where he was part of the group which called itself The Ancients. He later visited Italy and began producing more academic, conventional work, and was forgotten until the neo-Romantics rediscovered him during World War 2. |
