EXHIBITION

OF

DRAWINGS IN WATER COLOURS.

Introductory Remarks.

Collection of Drawings, illustrating the early stages and ultimate
development of the Art of Water Colour Painting, as practised in
this Country, cannot but be viewed with interest, seeing, that as now
J practised, it is peculiarly a British branch of the Fine Arts. It has
drawn neither its models, nor its principles, from any foreign source : home
bred and fostered, it owes its perfection to Englishmen alone.
Although the art of painting in opaque water colours (tempera) is of
high antiquity, it was not until the 1 7th century that the practice of using
transparent pigments, was adopted, in their landscape drawings, by some
Artists of the Dutch School ; as also, (with or without admixture of
body colour), by the Painters who, at that time, exercised their art in this
country. It was not however out of the process of tempera painting, or even
of Miniature painting in pure water colours, in which many of our early
Artists excelled, that water colour painting, as now practised, arose. Its origin
is due to the antiquarian spirit and topographical taste which sprang up in

4 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.
the early part of the i8th century, and which required for its illustration
minute and accurate copies of antiquarian remains and ancient buildings ; the
details of which, it was desired to record by literal delineations ; when " the
truth of rendering was of more value than art or beauty," and the intro
duction of local colour was altogether neglected.
By degrees the topographical Draughtsmen felt the desirability of
introducing local colour, in lieu of the simple black or grey in which their
drawings were made ; although at first they did so timidly, by washing
their drawings with transparent tints, and subsequently by introducing the
local colours of the objects depicted, although not in their full intensity ; by
degrees they began to feel the charms with which a scene may be impressed
by passing clouds, sunshine, mists, and other atmospheric effects, no less
than by the varying beauties of local colour as affected by the changes of
season. The result of this appreciation of the lovely effects of nature, was,
that the cold spiritless topographical drawings gradually gave way to the
beauties and signal excellence of the Water Colour School of Painting in
Great Britain.
The object of this Exhibition is to afford an opportunity to the lover of
Art, of tracing those steps, by which the revolution, as it were, in the Water
Colour Art was effected ; and of illustrating, by bringing together in juxta
position (so far as the limited space available will admit), the early and late
productions of the same Master, the different styles adopted during his
artistic career, and of showing the progressive stages by which some of our
great Artists, attained to the perfection which characterizes their more
mature works.
In the course of carrying out the Exhibition some difficulties presented
themselves which did not at first occur to those who were charged with
its organisation. It was felt to be necessary to draw a line, which, whilst

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 5
embracing the period when the early Professors of the Art of Painting in
Water Colour flourished, would include, some at least, of those great Artists
who practised at a more modern date, and by whom the revolution in the
Art, which led to its ultimate perfection, was effected. It was also necessary
to exclude from the very numerous list of earlier Artists the productions of
many which, although commendable at the date at which they were executed,
now appear to be so inferior as not to be worth collecting.
With a view to meet the first point, it was resolved, not to exhibit the
works of any Artist now living, or who was not born previous to the year
1 800 ; and in reference to the selection of works by the older painters, the
Committee have been guided mainly by the desire to exhibit specimens of
those Artists whose works are known to have influenced more or less the
development of the art of painting in water colours ; not rejecting however,
any good drawings by other less known Artists.
The task of collecting the Drawings necessary for a proper elucidation
of the object contemplated by the Committee, has been by no means easy,
seeing that It involved the necessity of obtaining specimens of Masters com
paratively little known, and whose works are not generally to be found in the
portfolios of modern collectors. In fact, in some cases, the difficulty has been
insuperable, owing to the shortness of time within which It has been necessary
to get the Collection together.
A further difficulty also arose as the work of selection proceeded, from
the want of space available In the Club rooms, so that the number of
Drawings by each Artist, which could be hung, necessarily became re
stricted, and It has been unavoidable to decline many works with which the
Committee would gladly have decorated the walls.
The Committee are fully aware of the imperfections of their attempt to
afford a complete view of the progress of the Art from the middle of the 1 8th

6 INTRODUCTORY RE MARK S.
century, when it was perhaps at its lowest point, up to its full development
In the present century. They believe, however, that some benefit will result
to the Art Student from a careful examination ofthe very valuable and interest
ing collection of Drawings, which, by the aid of members of the Club, supple
mented by the courtesy of Collectors, (whose cordial co-operation In the object
of the Exhibition entitles them to the best thanks of the Committee,) they
have been able to gather together ; and they trust that calling attention to the
works of English Artists who are little known, may lead to the appreciation
of the merits of those early Professors of the Art, out of whose practice,
however imperfect, arose the excellence of the present School.
The determination to adhere strictly to the special object of the
Exhibition has been pursued, at the cost, no doubt, of making the collection
less attractive to the general visitor than it would have been, had the
intention been simply to gather together fine specimens of Water Colour
Drawings by English Artists.
An endeavour has been made to supply the dates of the births and
deaths of the several Artists whose works are exhibited, and occasional
illustrative notes have been added to the descriptions of some of the
drawings. Burlington Fine Arts Club,

t The Czar, Peter the Great, the reputed father of this Artist, by an Englishwoman, whom, it is stated,
he took back with him from Deptford, was in this country and working in the Dockyard in that town in
1697, in which year he returned to Russia. Probably, therefore, Alexander Cozens was born about 1698,
which would make him eighty-eight years of age when he died.

Sir Thomas La^vrence,) he was born in 1769. See " Turner and Girtin's Picturesque Views Sixty

Materials available for Notes of the artistic careers of the larger number
of Artists represented in this Collection are of a very meagre description. This is
remarkable, seeing that comparatively few years only have elapsed since they
practised their Art. Messrs. R. & S. Redgrave in their work, " A Century of Painters
of the English School," have gathered together most of the information to be met
with relating to the Artists mentioned by them, adding some Critical Notices and
valuable Art information. Those who are disposed to acquire information on the subject
of Water Colour Painting in this country will do well to consult that very interesting
and readable book.

Born at Maidstone in Kent in 1768 ; was draughtsman to Lord Macartney's Embassy
to China in 1792, and to that circumstance we owe the charming drawings of Chinese
views and illustrations of Chinese characters well represented in this Collection and which
truly, as the Authors of "A Century of Painting" write, "sparkle with life and colour."
Some of the drawings were published as illustrations to Sir George Staunton's Narrative of
the Embassy. Alexander became teacher of drawing at the Royal Military College at
Great Marlow, and was afterwards Keeper of the Antiques in the British Museum, where he
made the drawings of the marbles and terra-cottas for Taylor Combe's work.

BARKER, BENJAMIN, b. 1776, d. 1838. Exh. R.A. 1800,
This landscape painter was born at Pontypool, in Monmouthshire, in 1776, but went
at a very early age to Bath, where he afterwards chiefly resided, and was held in high
estimation as a teacher of painting. In 1801 he married a sister of Mr. James Hewlett,
the flower painter. In 1807 he exhibited at the British Institution, and continued an
exhibitor for many years.
Barker imprudently expended several thousand pounds, the accumulations of years of
labour, upon the building and embeUishment of a villa on Bathwick Hill, from which he
removed to Exeter and Dawlish, and finally settled at Totnes, in Devonshire, where he died
in 1838. In 1843 was published at Bath " Benjamin Barker's English Landscape Scenery : a
" series of forty-eight aquatint engravings by Theodore Fielding, from original paintings in

Old Water Colour Society in 1804, and thenceforth his principal works were exhibited there
At one time, with the idea probably of seeking admission into the Royal Academy, he
painted in oUs, but he is best known by his Water Colour drawings, which are mostly effects
of the rising or setting sun.

William Blake, in 1771, then of the age of 14, after having received some tuition in
Pars' Drawing School, was apprenticed to James Basire (the Official Engraver of the
Royal and Antiquarian Societies). In 1778 he studied for a short time in the Antique
School ofthe then newly-formed Royal Academy. He first exhibited at the R.A. in 1780.

Signed, " 1807, W. Blake, inv."
Blake executed three designs of this subject, one which is engraved as an
illustration to Blair's "Grave," in 1808 ; another the exhibited drawing. No. 66,
and a third which he designed at the instance of Ozias Humphrey, R.A., for the
Countess of Egremont, being an enlargement of the Blair drawing. The
description of this design, in a letter from Blake to Humphrey, dated February
i8th, 1808 (printed in Gilchrist's Life of Blake, Vol. i, p. 213), corresponds very
much with the drawing No. 72, and which, it is observed, is dated in 1807.

54 inches w., by 18 J inches h.
Signed, " W. Blake."
This picture was purchased of Blake by his patron, Mr. Butts, from
whose possession it came into the Collection of Mr. Stirling, of Keir.
It was painted in 1808, and there is an elaborate account of it by the
Artist in his "Descriptive Catalogue of Pictures, Poetical and Historical Inven
tions, painted by William Blake in Water Colours, being the ancient method
of Fresco Painting revived, &c.," published in 1809. The picture which was
engraved by Blake himself in 1809 is stated in the Catalogue to have been painted
"in self-defence against the insolent and envious imputation of unfitness for
finished and scientific art," and is referred to as produced in rivalry to Stothard's
picture on the same subject, which Blake criticises in no measured terms, sum
ming up his criticism by writing of it, that " all is misconceived, and its misexe-
cution is equal to its misconception."
In the present Collection, No. 194, a Drawing of Stothard's, " The Canter
bury Pilgrimage," is exhibited, so that an opportunity is afforded of comparing
the two productions — the one characterised by originality and force of drawing ;
the other, by elegance of design and sweetness of composition.

Early in life articled to an architect and surveyor, a profession which he practised for
many years was a distinguished painter of architectural and topographical subjects. As
early as 1797 he published two aquatint engravings of Magdalen College, Oxford, and thus
originated a publication of Views of the English Cathedrals, which obtained for him much
reputation. He was, associated with J. M. W. Turner in making the drawings for
Whitaker's " Richmondshire." He exhibited water-colour drawings at the Royal Academy
almost yearly from 1790 to 1848.

CALCOTT, Sir AUGUSTUS WALL, R.A., b. 1779, d. 1844. Exh.
R.A. 1802.
Calcott was born at Kensington in 1779. He was, in his youth, a chorister boy in
A\'estminster Abbey, but adopted painting as his profession at an early age. He received
some instruction from Hoppner, the portrait painter, and was elected a member of the Royal
Academy in 18 10.
Calcott made a tour on the Continent, and was greatly surprised and hurt to find
himself unknown there as a painter. The French artists enquired of him what pictures of
his had been engraved ; but he was, at that time, scarcely able to point to any, and when
he returned to England, forcibly struck with the advantage which engraving is to painters,
in making their works and merits known, he offered to lend to the proprietors of '¦ Finden's
Royal GaUery of British Art." three pictures, without any charge for copyright, conditionally
that each of the three should be engraved. He said : " I am known by three styles, and
" to represent me by any one of them, would not be just." The pictures which were
selected for engraving, and which will be found in the work referred to, were, "Trent on
the Tryol," a landscape ; "Ann Page and Slender," a figure subject, and " Returning from
Market," (now in the National Gallery), pastoral.
Calcott was a constant and distinguished contributor to the Royal Academy
Exhibitions up to the time of his death, 25th November, 1844. In 1837 he was knighted
by the Queen, and in 1844 appointed the successor of Mr. Seguier, as Conservator of
the Royal Pictures, an office which he held for a few months only preceding his death.

This artist was the younger brother of John James Chalon. They were both born in
Geneva, but came to London whilst yet youths.
Alfred became a student ofthe R.A. in 1797. He practised as a water colour artist,
and in 1808 joined, as an original member, the "Associated Artists in Water Colours," an
institution, of brief existence, established in rivalry to the old Water Colour Society.
In 1 8 10, A. E. Chalon first exhibited at the Royal Academy Exhibition, and in 181 2,
he was elected an Associate, and in 1816 a full member ofthe R.A.
Although in later life he painted in oil, Chalon's reputation was established and rests
upon his water colour portraits, which at one time were much in vogue when he was par
excellence the fashionable artist of portraiture. Leslie and some of his contemporaries had
a high opinion of Chalon's artistic merits ; but when in 1855 his works and those of his
brother John, were exhibited at the Society of Arts in the Adelphi, they failed to be
appreciated by the public as many considered they ought to have been.

John James Chalon, R.A., commenced his ardstic career as a Painter in Oils,
and first appears as an Exhibitor at the R.A. in 1802. He some few years after turned
his attention to painting in Water Colours, and in 180S became a Member of the Old
Water Colour Society (established four years previously), but seceded in 18 13, influenced,
no doubt, by his desire to become a Member of the R.A., to the honours of which his
younger brother, Alfred Edward Chalon, had been admitted in the previous year. John
Chalon was for forty years of his life a Member of the " Sketching Society." §
He was elected A.R.A. in 1827, and R.A. in 1841.

established by a picture of " The Charge of the Life Guards at Waterioo;" but unfortunately
his artistic career was cut short by the dreadful disease of insanity, and he ended his days
in a lunatic asylum, in the 59th year of his age.

§ The "Sketching Society" was founded in 1808. The Chalons (John and Alfred),
with Francis Stevens being the originators; audit ceased to exist in 1848. During its
existence it numbered amongst its members William Turner of Oxford, A. E. Chalon, R.A.
Thomas Webster, Michael Sharp, Francis Stevens, Cornelius Varley, J. J. Chalon, R.A.,
H. P. Bone, J. S. Stump, T. Uwins, R.A., C. Stanfield, R.A., C. R. Leshe, R.A., and
J. Partridge, R.A., with three honorary members, viz., Joshua Cristall, C. J. Robert
son, and George Fennel Robson. The following is the account Leslie gives of the objects
of the Society and his introduction to it: "I should have mentioned, that, in 1828, I
" joined a small Socity of Artists that had then been established for twenty years. Its
" meetings are held weekly, on Friday nights, during the months of November, December,
" January, February, March, and April. The members assembled at six o'clock at each
" other's houses in rotation. All the materials for drawdng are prepared by the host of the
" evening, who is, for that night, President. He gives a subject, from which each makes a
" design. The sketching concludes at ten o'clock, then there is supper, and after that the
" drawings are reviewed, and remain the property of him at whose house they are made."
It is probable that the prototype of the " Sketching Society " was a Sketching Class
established by Thomas Girtin, which lasted about three years, and consisted often members,
viz. : — Girtin, Sir Robert Ker Porter, Sir Augustus Calcott, J. R. Underwood, G. Samuel,
P. S. Munn, J. S. Cotman, L. Francia, W. H. Worthington and J. C. Denham.

1770, as "John Cleveley, Jun., of New Row, Deptford," three drawings, "A View on the
Thames, off Deptford," and two other marine subjects. He must not be confounded

cox, DAVID, b. 1783, d. 1859, Memb. O.W.C.S. Exh. R.A. 1805.
This admirable artist, whose water-colour pictures rank amongst the finest of the
English Landscape School for originality, truth, and beauty, was born in Birmingham in
1783, and died in 1859 at his residence, Harborne, near Birmingham.
The artist's father was a smith, and for some time he worked in the business ; but his
constitution was not suflficiently robust for the pursuit ; and, having a great inclination for
drawing, he commenced by painting small pictures from prints. He then became a scene-
painter at the Birmingham Theatre, and subsequently went to London, where for some
years he maintained himself by making drawings to serve as copies for the pupils of
drawing masters.
The only instruction in his art which he received was a few lessons from John Varley.
Cox resided a few years at Hereford, teaching pupils, and making drawings of the
picturesque scenery in the neighbourhood. To this circumstance may, perhaps, be traced
that devotion to Welsh scenery which has characterised so large a portion of his works.
Cox, who was a member of the Old Water Colour Society, is known chiefly as a
water-colour painter ; but, at an exhibition of his pictures in London a short time before
his death, a considerable number of oil pictures were exhibited, most of which had been
painted within the last ten or fifteen years of his life.

The reputed father of this Artist was the Czar Peter the Great. It is said that the
Emperor sent his son to Italy to study painting, and that he came to England in 1746. It
would seem, however, that it was about the'year 1770 he established himself in London as
a landscape painter. He was appointed Drawing Master to Eton CoUege, and became the
Tutor in Drawing to several members of the Royal Family. He was an ingenious Artist,
and his drawings have considerable merit. His style was bold and effective, but rather
sombre, in consequence of the dark colours he used and the means he took to obtain his
compositions ; for he held some curious notions "of working them out, according to sug
gestions of his own fancy, from casual blots. A sponge, charged with a variety of colours,
thrown against paper, or splashing the surface of a piece of earthenware with bistre or
Vandyke brown, and then working out the forms the colours took into trees, buildings, &c.,
was, in his opinion, all that was necessary for the foundation of a landscape painting — any
study from nature being apparently, in his judgment, altogether unnecessary. This theory
he promulgated by a publication demonstrating his practice. In the absence of better in
struction, this process became popular for a time, but fortunately nearly died with its
professor. Alexander Cozens also published a work upon the shape and foliage of trees in

Was the son of Alexander Cozens. John Cozens broke away from the topographical and
antic]uarian type which had more or les,s characterised the works of Sandby, Rooker, and
Hearne, and may fairly be said to have been the precursor of that ultimate superiority of
Water Colour Painting, the attainment of which, was reserved for Thomas Girtin and J. M.
\\ . Turner. He visited Italy with Mr. Beckford, and he is perhaps best, known by the
views he then made. The high esteem in which John Cozens' works were held by Artists
may be gathered from the fact that they formed the early studies of Girtin and Turner.
Leslie, writing of him, says — " He had an eye equally adapted to the grandeur, the
elegance, and the simpUcity of nature, but loved best her gentlest, most silent eloquence."

CRISTALL, JOSHUA, b. 1767, d. 1847. O. Memb. O.W.C.S.
Commenced his artistic career as a China painter in Wedgewood's establishment. He
is said to have been one of the many artists who had the opportunity of frequenting the
house of Dr, Munro, in Adelphi Terrace, and there studying his art by copying from the
works of his predecessors which were there collected. He was one of the founders of the
Old Water Colour Society, of which, in 1821, he was elected President, an office he
held for ten years. Cristall's forte lay in figure subjects ; but he painted landscapes
and marine pieces, and occasionally portraits. He lived to an old age (nearly eighty
}'ears). He had apparently no relatives. Two servants hved with him, and he became
much attached to them, and it was a grief that when he died he had nothing to leave
them. He was, however, a member of the Sketching Society ; and one of their rules
was that the drawings made at their meetings were never to be sold. However, Cristall
left all the drawings he had to the two women who had been kind to him during
his latter life, and the Society passed a resolution to the eflect that they might be sold.
Leslie, R.A,, who was one ofthe members, took upon himself the sale.

DANIELL, WILLIAM, R.A., b. 1773, d. 1837. Exh. R.A. 1795.
The commencement of this artist's career was in India, where he accompanied his
uncle Thomas Daniell, R.A. ; they were absent some ten years, gathering materials for a
work, "Oriental Scenery," which was pubhshed in 1808, the drawings for the great part
being executed by WiUiam DanieU.
In 1822 he published " Voyage round Great Britain in 1813," iUustrated from his own
drawings by engravings also executed by himself in aquatint, a process, if not then a
secret, at all events very little known, and which was eventually superseded by the intro
duction of lithography.
The " Oriental Annual," which was commenced in 1834, was illustrated down to and
including 1838,* by engravings from William Daniell's drawings,
*There were two other artists of this family who are not represented in this Exhibition, viz,,
Thomas Daniell, R.A., (b. 1749, d. 1840), and Samuel Daniell, The former (Thomas) was the
uncle of William Daniell, R A., with whom he worked, they having gone together to India, as
above-mentioned, Samuel was the brother of WUham DanieU, R,A, He spent three years
at the Cape of Good Hope, and published in 1808 some prints descriptive of the scenery ofthe
country, costume of the natives, &c,, as also an account of the animals of Southern Africa.

DAYES, EDWARD, b. 1763, d. 1804. Exh. R.A. 1786, &c.
Edward Dayes, who, may be classed amongst the founders of the English landscape
Water Colour school, was apprenticed (as was Henry Edridge) at an early age to William
Pether, the eminent mezzotinto engraver, which art he for a short time practised. He sub
sequently obtained eminence as a Water Colour painter, and was much employed in produc
ing illustrations for the topographical publications of his day, Thomas Girtin was his
pupil, and was imprisoned by Dayes for refusing to work out his apprenticeship inden
tures. Dayes' merits as a painter were recognised by Turner, who, at an early period of
his life, so closely copied him that it is extremely difficult to distinguish between the works
of the two artists.

DE WINT, PETER, b. 1783, d. 1849, Memb. O.W.C.S.
For the long period of nearly forty years, Mr. De Wint's numerous drawings formed one
of the most attractive features in the exhibitions of the Old Society of Painters in Water
Colours; his subjects being for the most part English landscape scenery, which he pour-
trayed with truthfulness and fidelity, coupled with that artistic feeling which won him popu
larity with all who relish simplicity of nature. Mr. De Wint's style was essentially his own.
If the subjects of his pencil were simple, his manner of treating them was simple also ; his
handUng was free and masterly, and devoid of all affectation. He essentially belonged to
the old school, and carefully eschewed the use of body colours, which have been so much
adopted by the Water Colour painters of the present day.

EDRIDGE, HENRY, A.R.A., b. 1769, d. 1821. Exh. R.A., 1796, &c.
Borajn London ; apprenticed (as was Edward Dayes) to William Pether, the mezzotint
engraver. In 1786 he gained the Academy silver Medal. He did not long practise the art
of engraving, but established himself as a portrait painter, first in miniature on ivory, and
afterwards working in Water Colours on paper, touching in the figure with black lead
pencil, over washes of Indian ink and finishing the head. In 181 7, and again in 18 19, he
visited France and delineated with great power the picturesque beauties of Paris and the fine
Gothic edifices of Normandy, of which good examples will be found in this Collection,
Nos. 2 and 4. In 1820 he was elected A.R.A., but he was then in bad health, and died in
the foUowing year. For many years Edridge's drawings were very rare and, in consequence
of their scarcity, fetched exceptionally large prices, but not perhaps more than their artistic
merits deserved.

He joined the O.W.C.S. in i8io, and commenced exhibiting in that year. On the
retirement of Cristall in 1831, Copley Fielding was elected President of the Society, a post
which he fiUed up to his death. He was much esteemed by his brother artists and very
popular with his pupUs. His forte perhaps lay in his " Down " views of which a fine

themselves of the privileges afforded by Dr. Munro for study at his house on stated evenings,
to make copies of the choice works which that gentleman possessed, and to take advantage
of the knowledge which the Doctor was able to communicate for their instruction in
their art.

GIRTIN, THOMAS, b. 1773 or '5, d. 1802. Exh. R.A. 1795, &c.
This justly-admired landscape artist, who died at an early age, was apprenticed to
Edward Dayes, by whom, he was imprisoned for refusing to serve out his apprenticeship
indentures. His drawings did not at all resemble his master's style. He was one of the
earliest friends and the zealous adviser of J. M. W. Turner, in company with whom he
frequented the house of Dr. Munro, and painted from nature on the banks of the Thames,
previous to an artistic tour which they took together in 1793, the result of which was a
series of drawings engraved in ^V'alker"s Itinerant.
On the Peace of Amiens, a few months previous to his death, Girtin went to Paris
and there made twenty drawings of the principal views of that city, some of which he
etched in outlines on plates, finished in aquatinta by other artists. Two of these drawings
(unengraved) are in the present collection (Nos. 186 and 183.)

An important master in the early practice of water colour painting ; born in Leicester
shire, and in 1794 settled in Lichfield as an Artist and Drawing Master. J lis practice in
water colours is said to have been founded on that of William Payne of Plymouth. He was one
of the founders of the Society of Painters in Water Colours, and sent nineteen pictures to
the first Exhibition, and in 18 15 was elected President of the Society for that year. About
this time he worked largely in oil, and, probably with a view of being elected a member of
the Royal Academy, withdrew from the Water Colour Society in 18 18, and placed his name
on the list of Candidates for the Associateship ; but without success. In the latter part of
his Ufe he went to Tasmania, and executed a considerable number of views of the local
scenery in that settlement.

Antiquaries, from a picture in Windsor Castle, but now in the rooms of the Society, repre
senting the departure of Henry VIIL for Boulogne, from which Basire engraved his print.

Although occasionally practising in oU, his works in water colours are more numerous.
In 1816, Havell accompanied Lord Amherst's Embassy to China; but in the following
year (181 7) proceeded to Calcutta where he remained until 1825. In 1827 he returned
to England and re-entered the old Water Colour Society, from which he had seceded in 181 3.
About this time also he visited Italy.

Member ofthe Old Water Colour Society, which, however, he quitted about 1811, when he
joined the British Army in the Peninsula, and continued with it until the Battle of
Toulouse, occupying himself with painting portraits of officers. In 1823 he was one of
the founders, and for one year President of the " Society of British Artists," and in 1835
he was also active in the formation of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours, of
which he became a member. Heaphy exhibited in 1809 a water-colour drawing called
" The Fish Market," which, it is said, sold for, in that day, the large sum of 500 guineas.

The talents ofthis Artist, for the depicture of topographical subjects fairly entitle him
to be included amongst the founders of our School of Water Colour Painting, was born at
Brinkworth in Wiltshire. He came to London when very young and was apprenticed to
A\^illiam WooUett the Engraver. He spent several years in the West Indies, where he
went as draughtsman with Lord Lavington. On his return to England he engaged with
the celebrated Engraver, WiUiam Byrne, in " The Antiquities of Great Britain," for which
he made the drawings which, whilst faithful copies of the subjects deUneated, possess
pictorial merit which carry them beyond the mere dry topographical drawings of that day.
Twenty of the original drawings were exhibited at the Royal Inc. Soc. of Artists of
Great Britain, in 1780, at which time the work was being published in parts.

Colour Society (of which institution he was one of the founders) was born at Islington, and
became an exhibitor at the Royal Academy when twenty-one years of age, but ceased to exhibit
there after 1792. Subsequently, on the estabhshment ofthe Water Colour Society, (of which
he was one ofthe founders), in 1805, he was a contributor to its Exhibitions until his death.
HUls etched with skill, his subjects being deer and other animals. A large coUection
of these etchings are in the print room of the British Museum.

Born in London, was apprenticed to John Varley. He became a student at the Royal
Academy in 1808. His early works appear to have been principally in oil, and he first

In 1824 Hunt became a member of the old Water Colour Society, and in 1827 a full
member, and from that time to the day of his death he rarely failed to contribute to their
exhibitions. Hunt was one of the many artists indebted for assistance in his early artistic career to
Dr. Munro, and it was at this period of his life, that in conjunction with Turner and others,
he made drawings for the Earl of Essex of the rooms at Cashiobury, of which an example

An artist of considerable merit in his day, many of whose drawings, especially his
figure subjects, were engraved. Ibbetson is stated to have been born at Masham, in
Yorkshire, and to have been originally a ship-painter at Scarborough. " He was (write the
authors of a ' Century of Painters ') one of the joUy friends of George Morland ; like him,
he lived froni hand to mouth, was employed by an inferior class of picture dealers, and
made them his pot companions."

he commenced a work on St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and in 1819, he executed the
drawings for a work entitled " Picturesque Views of Paris," for which it is said he received
500 guineas. Although his landscapes were well-esteemed, it was in architectural subjects
that he made his fame and fortune.

Exh. R.A. 1789.
In referring to the elder race of Water Colour Artists, Francis Nicholson must not be
passed over. He studied his Art during a long life, with a conscientious desire to elevate
and improve it. He was born in Yorkshire, and first exhibited at the R.A, in 1789, " A
View of Castle Howard." He was one of the founders of the Society of Painters in ^^^ater
Colours, and the author of a preceptive work, pubhshed in 1820, on "The practice of
Drawing and Painting Landscapes from Nature in Water Colours," in which, amongst
much instructive matter connected with the Art on which he wrote, he exemplified a
mechanical process for preserving the heightenings pure and thus avoiding the necessity
of putting them in by means of opaque white See an interesting biographical memoir

William Owen, a native of Shropshire, came to London in 1786. He commenced
exhibiting at the R A. in 1792 as an oil painter, his subjects being rustic hfe, but his fame
rests on his portraits, in which he was very successful. During an illness, which confined
him to his room for five years previous to his death, he practised the art of water-colour
painting, and produced a large number of drawings, of which the following is a specimen.
He was elected an Associate ofthe R.A. in 1804, and a full member in 1806,

\\'as born in London. He was much patronised by the Dilettanti Society, in whose
service, and in that of Henry second Viscount Palmerston, many years of his hfe were
occupied in making drawings of views and antiquities in Greece, Switzerland, and Italy.
Several of his ^-iews in Greece were engraved by Byrne, and a selection from his Swiss and
Italian drawings were executed in aquatint by Paul Sandby, He died at about the age of
40, in Rome, where he had been residing for seven years, William Pars was the brother
of Mr, Pars, the successor of Shipley, whose drawing-room in the Strand was, in 1767,
the preparatory school for young Artists, In 1770, he was elected an associate of the
R,A, One of the drawings by Pars in the present Collection, No, 118, " View of the

PAYNE, WILLIAM (of Plymouth), b. , d. . Exh. R.A.
1786, &c
The first notice we find of this artist, who, like John Cozens, " abandoned mere
topography for a more poetical treatment of landscape scenery," is in 1786, when, residing
at Plymouth he contributed views of that town and its neighbourhood to the Royal
Academy Exhibition. In 1790 Payne appears to have removed to London, as in the
Royal Academy Catalogue for that year a London address is attached to his name.
" Payne adopted many peculiarities in his methods of execution, some of which were
valuable additions to the Art" (See "Cent, of Painters," vol i. p. 382). He became a
drawing master, from which he is said to have derived a large income.

These drawings are examples of the process Payne adopted, and which was
subsequently much followed by Glover, of enriching scenes, when he desired to
depict the effects of sunset or sunrise, by passing a full warm coloured wash over
his completed drawing. See " A Century of Painters," Vol. i., p. 383.

PROUT, SAMUEL, b. 1784, d. 1852, Memb. O.W.C.S. Exh. R.A.
1805.
Born at Plymouth ; was the author of several instructive works on the art of drawing.
About 18 1 8 he commenced a course of artistic tours abroad and the result was a series of
views, very many of which were engraved for the landscape and Continental annuals. His
fame rests upon the architectural features of his drawings, the mode of execution of which
he evidently derived from Edridge ; and a comparison between the two artists' drawings,
Edridge Nos. 2 & 4 and Prout Nos. 131 & 138, will be interesting.
Prout was a member of the Society of Painters in Water Colours, and was an annual
contributor to its exhibitions to the end of his life.

The Author of " Wine and Walnuts '' and the Editor of " The Somerset House
Gazette," an Art serial published in 1823-4. To the latter work we are indebted for much
information about Art and Artists. Pyne used his pencil in various branches of his Art —
in portraits, landscapes, figure painting, and topographical subjects. He entered upon a
speculation, which was not we believe profitable, in publishing a " History of the Royal
Residences," illustrated by coloured engravings, facsimiles of drawings by himself and
others. For some years in his later life he lived at Reading, and amongst the small circle
of his acouaintances there, was esteemed for his amusingly chatty and anecdotal conver
sation. He was one of the founders of the Old Water Colour Society.

ROBERTS, DAVID, R.A., b. 1796, d. 1864.
Born near Edinburgh and apprenticed to a house-painter in that city, with whom he
served an apprenticeship of seven years. In 1820 he became scene-painter at Glasgow and
Edinburgh, and in that year sent an oil picture to the Edinburgh Exhibition, which was
rejected. In 1822 he became scene-painter at Drury Lane. In 1823 he was one of the original
members of the Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street, a position he resigned to become
eligible for the Royal Academy. In 1824 he first exhibited in London at the British
Institution, and in 1826 he first exhibited at the Royal Academy.
Having made two previous excursions to France and the Rhine, Roberts in 1832 went
to Spain, where he made a series of drawings, two of which are in the present Collection,
Nos. 82 and 83, which were pubhshed in lithography in 1837 under the title of "Pictu
resque Sketches in Spain."
Mr. Roberts's artistic tours were very numerous ; but the principal one was that to
Egypt and Syria, which occupied him for a twelvemonth, 1838-9, and the subjects of his
drawings formed the well-known publication of " Roberts's Sketches in the Holy Land, Syria,
and Egypt," the publication of which commenced in 1842, and was completed in 1849.
It was during his absence in the East, that he was elected in 1839 an Associate of the
Academy, to which a full membership was added in 1841.

years he was principal scene-painter at the Theatre in the Haymarket. He practised both
as an artist in water colours and as an engraver, drawing and engraving many of the

ROWLANDSON, THOMAS, b. 1756, d. 1827. Exh. R.A. 1775, &c
This well-known designer of humorous subjects and caricature was bom in London,
and became an artist of no mean merit. He, however, did but scant justice to his artistic
powers ; his love of gambling was the bane of his Ufe, and it is to be feared that he looked
upon his pencil almost solely as a ready means of replenishing his resources when luck had
been against him. He studied drawing at the Royal Academy, and subsequently in Paris.
Sir Joshua Re)molds and West are each said to have declared that some drawings of
Rowlandson which were submitted to them would have done honour to Rubens. In
addition to numerous caricatures and humourous drawings he executed illustrative designs
for " Dr. Syntax," " The Dance of Death," &c. &c.
His early works were wrought with much more care than his later productions, and of
the former there are good illustrations in this Exhibition.

Paul Sandby was born at Nottingham, but came to London when fourteen years old,
and was employed in the drawing-room at the Tower, He is mentioned in the Charter of
Incorporation 1767 as one of the Directors of the Society of Artists of Great Britain,
formed 1760, At the foundation of the R,A, he was elected a member, and in the
same year, 1768, was appointed Chief Drawing Master to the Military Academy at
Woolwich, an office he held until his death. Although commencing as a topographical
draftsman, and continuing throughout his career to depict his views with charac
teristic truth, he added, a pictorial effect which was wanting in other artists of his day.
He painted in oil, distemper, and transparent water colours, and may be regarded as the
founder of the present school of Landscape Water Colour Painters, His works were very
popular in his day, and he was much patronised. To his other acquirements he added those
of an etcher and engraver. Paul Sandby was, probably, the first English artist who practised
engraving in aquatint.

their day as miniature painters. It was at his house in George Street, Hanover Square, that
the establishment of the Old Water Colour Society was decided on in 1 804, Previous
to that date Water Colour Paintings were exhibited under great disadvantage at the Royal
Academy, §

§ The Society, when first constituted, consisted of the following si.^cteen members, all of whom
at the time enjoyed considerable reputation as artists : —

As a Book Illustrator Stothard has probably no equal, whether we regard the merits
or the number of his works. Commencing as a designer of patterns for brocading silk, he
became the illustrator of almost all the popular literature of his day. He furnished designs for
chasers in metal and was largely employed in that branch of art by the well-known gold-

TURNER, J. M. W. 71
TURNER, JOSEPH MALLORD WILLIAM, R.A., b. 1769 or
1775 (?). d. 1851. Exh. R.A. 1791.
His iirst art instruction was from employment by one Smith, a picture dealer, in print
colouring. His eariiest works' are little more than imitations of the manner of Cozens,
Dayes, P. Sandby, and Hearne, whose drawings he copied at Dr. Munro's house: That
gendeman, the Rev. Wm. Nixon of Footscray, and Mr. Henderson of the Adelphi Terrace,
(the father of the Exhibitor in the present Collection of several of Turner's drawings)
were his early patrons. He soon, however, gave up the tinting process he had learned,
and with Girtin, adopted the practice of first laying in his pictures with local colour,
instead of working the shadows in neutral tints.
The progressive steps by which Turner from a colorer of prints, reached the position of
the greatest of English Landscape painters, are highly instructive, and deeply interesting to
the Art Student ; but it would be foreign to the object of this note, even if space
permitted, to attempt to elucidate them.
When Turner first broke from the trammels of the Old School of Water Colour
painting and looked to Nature as his instructress, he did so in company with Thomas
Girtin, and in 1793, the result of a joint sketching tour, was the drawings by both artists
which were engraved in Walker's " Itinerent" (since repubUseed, in 1854, from the original
plates, under the title of " Turner and Girtin's Picturesque Views, sixty years since,"
with Memoirs, by Thomas Miller). Girtin's name was also associated with that of his
early friend and companion, in a work published many years after the death of the
former, under the title of "' River Scenery of England and Wales."
It has been said that Turner's artistic career may be divided into three periods ; but
these periods may be again subdivided into almost as many years as each embraced, so
gradually progressive were the stages reached from time to time by this marvelloLis Artist,
The first period may be said to extend down to 1800. It included, of course. Turner's
early works, which are illustrated in the present coUection by the Drawings Nos. 202^?, 84,
94, 234, 242, 93, loi, 97, 85, 233, and 89.
In 1797 Turner appears to have been occupied in making drawings in Yorkshire,
several of which he exhibited at the Royal Academy in the following year (1798) ; two
drawings. Views of Sheffield and Wakefield, engraved in the " Itinerant " in the same
year (1798), were, probably, also made at this time. The drawings engraved as illustra
tions to Whitaker's " Parish of Whalley" in Yorkshire, which was published in 1800, may
likewise be attributed to 1797.
Some of the drawings of the latter end of the first period contrast strongly in point of
breadth and colour with Turner's earlier drawings, as may be seen by reference to
No. 96, a work which was probably the drawing exhibited 1799 (the same year with the
drawing of Warkworth Casde (now in the South Kensington Museum), and which may be
instructively compared with the "View of Durham" (No. 123) by Ghtin, to whose works at
that time. Turner's bore strong resemblance.
The second, so-caUed, period may be said to extend from about 1800 to 1824. It
includes, amongst numerous others, the drawings made for the " Liber Studiorum " (the first
ofthe pubhshed plates of which was engraved in 1807, and the last in 181 6) ; for Whittaker's
History of Richmondshire (pubhshed in 1823) ; for the "Southern Coast" (the engraving of
the drawings for which began in 1814 and ended in 1826); and for the " Illustrations of
the scenery of Scotland, with descriptive letterpress by Sir Walter Scott" (pub, in 1826),
This second period also included Turner's drawings for the Oxford Almanack from 1801 to
181 1, It is illustrated in the present collection by Nos, no, 102, 106, and 127.
The third -pe^nod may be considered as commencing about 1824, with the drawings
made for the " England and Wales" Series, the pubUcarion of which extended from 1827 to
1838. Of the drawings for this work there are in the present Exhibition, four examples,
viz., Nos. 105, 119, 120, and 124. During this third period the numerous drawings were

72 TURNER, J. M. W.
made which were engraved as illustrations to the " Life and Works of Lord Byron,"
" The Keepsake," " Heath's Gallery of British Engravings," "Finden's Illustrations of the
Bible," "Roger's Italy and Poems" (1830-4), the W^orks of Sir Walter Scott. The
Rivers of France, engraved from drawings in chalk and body colour, on blue j aper 1833, 4 5 ;
(See examples Nos. 134 and 132) ; Campbell's Poems, 1827. The Lake of Nemi (No. ir6
in the present Collection) was made in 1840, as appears from the engraving on which the
initials and date appear " I.M. W. T., 1840."
The above division very nearly coincides with a classification of Turner's mode of
colouring. His first drawings were executed in indigo, or prussian blue, and Indian ink.
He subsequently adopted local and warm tints, and by degrees he introduced into his
works cobalt, ultra-marine, and a variety of colour of great intensity, yellow and red even
tually preponderating in a large degree.
The drawings exhibited are arranged in this catalogue in the order (as nearly as can be
determined) in which they were painted, and a careful study of them in that order will
convey a better idea of the progressive style of Turner's colouring than any written
description can do.

TURNER, WILLIAM (of Oxford), b. 1770, d. 1862, Memb. O.W.C.S.
This artist was born, lived, and died at Oxford. His pencil was mainly devoted to
architectiiral subjects in connection with landscape. He was a member of the Old
Water T:olour Society, and in 1813 when that Association was on the point of dis
solution from want of patronage, Turner was one of the members who united to carry it on,
and through whose energy, after a series of fluctuating fortunes it attained the high
position it now holds. °

VARLEY, JOHN, b. 1779 (?), d. 1842, O. Memb. O.W.C.S. Exh.
R.A. 1799.
Born in London. Was one of the artists who frequented, with Turner and Girtin,
the house of Dr. Munro. He had been intended by his father to follow the trade of a
silversmith ; but his enthusiasm for art prevailed, and on the death of his father, the original
intention was abandoned.
There is, perhaps, no English painter, who has pursued his art more conscientiously
than Varley. The field for his early sketch-book was Wales, which he visited in 1799, and
in several succeeding years.
On the formation of the Society of Painters in Water Colours, Varley joined it, and to
their first exhibition, in 1805, contributed 42 drawings, almost entirely Welsh subjects.
Varley was the instructor of many of the English Water Colour Artists, including
W. H. Hunt, Turner of Oxford, John Linnell, Samuel Palmer, Finch, and others.
Varley was a great enthusiast in all he undertook, including the study of Astrology,
which he himself stated to be one of the causes of his popularity as a drawing master.
" Ladies come to take drawing lessons, that they may get their nativities cast ! "
There is, however, no doubt that he was sincere in his beUef of his astrological powers.
The following is an authentic anecdote of Varley's reliance on planetary dispositions,
and the result which occasionally justified it. Calling one day on a well-known picture
dealer, he sought to dispose of some of his drawings, which he had brought in a portfolio.
The dealer declined, but only to be again and again urged; at length Varley exclaimed —
" I shall sell before I leave the house," mentioning as the ground for his assertion some

78 VARLEY—WEBBER.
jmrticular relation which existed between the planet under which he was born and
another of the celestial luminaries. The dealer invited him to tea, still refusing to
purchase ; but as Varley was on the point of leaving the house, a friend of the dealers
came in, and on being introduced to the artist, then and there bought his pictures. " Ah !"
said Varley, " I told you I should sell before I left your house."
