Thomas
Creswick R.A.
Sheffield
1811 – 1869 Bayswater, London
A landscape painter, Creswick was
amongst the earliest of British artists to paint
directly from nature in the open air. He had settled
in London in 1836 and was a foundation member of
The Etching Club in 1838. Light permeates his earliest
etchings and in this respect he anticipates Palmer’s
approach.
