Artist Biography

George Fennel Robson began to exhibit at the Royal Academy in 1807. In 1810 he exhibited landscapes in the Bond Street gallery of the Associated Painters, where he was a member, and in 1813 with the Society of Painters in Oil and Watercolours. At the anniversary meeting on 30 November 1819 he was elected president of the last society, for a year.

Robson was an honorary member of the Sketching Society, but weakness of sight prevented him from drawing at their evening meetings. A meeting of the society to say farewell to Charles Robert Leslie on his departure for America was held at his house in August 1833. On the following Wednesday he embarked on the S.S. James Watt, to visit his friends in the north, and was at Stockton-on-Tees on the 31st, suffering from inflammation. He died at his home in London on 8 September, and was buried in the churchyard of St. Mary-le-Bow in his native city of Durham
