Artist Biography

Francis Nicholson (14 November 1753 – 6 March 1844) was a British artist. He worked in watercolour and oil, and is mainly known as a landscape artist. Born in Yorkshire, Nicholson spent the majority of his life in the North, only moving to London at the turn on the 19th century. Nicholson studied with a local artist in Scarborough, before beginning his career in his native Yorkshire, producing sporting pictures and portraits for a variety of Yorkshire patrons. By the mid-1780s he was also making paintings of country houses, leading him to concentrate on landscapes in watercolour. Nicholsons' 1837 self-portrait is in the National Portrait Gallery, and is known as the Father of watercolour painting. He was also as an early pioneer of lithography, and was much admired by J.M.W. Turner.
