Thomas Sidney Cooper , RA
Biography.
Thomas Sidney Cooper was one of the foremost animal painters of the Victorian period. He was greatly encouraged by Abraham Cooper (of no relation) and Sir Thomas Lawrence.
Cooper entered the Royal Academy Schools before taking up a position as a teacher in Brussels in 1829. It was here he became friends with the great Belgian animal painter Verboeckhoven, who greatly influenced his style. He was also influenced by the 17th Century Dutch School.
In 1831 the artist settled in London and first exhibited at Suffolk Street in 1833. He exhibited forty-eight pictures at the British Institution between 1833 and 1863. ‘Landscape and Cattle', Royal Academy 1833, was shown until 1902 without a break - a record for a continuous exhibit at the Royal Academy. Sheep and cattle were his most frequent subjects, although he did paint a few figurative subjects.
After about 1870 Cooper's commissions were so constant and lucrative that he was tempted to yield to facile repetition of his favourite themes. The quality and competence of his style began to decline during the late 1890's by which time he was an old man.
His studio sale at Christie's lasted three days from 12 to 15 April 1902.
| Clilverd, Graham (1883 - 1959) |
| A fine British architectural painter, engraver and etcher, Graham Clilverd studied in London at the Central Arts School. He first exhibited his art around 1906 and by 1910 his paintings were annually shown at such major institutions as the Royal Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy and at the Paris Salon. During the First World War, Clilverd served as a camouflage artist (1916-1918). Graham Clilverd's first published drypoint engravings and etchings date from 1929. During the following eight years he created forty-nine prints dealing with architectural subjects in Britain, Italy, France and Belgium. All were published in London by Jas. Connell & Sons in editions ranging from sixty to one hundred and fifty impressions. Clilverd's great architectural art earned him election as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. |
