Artist Biography
Thomas Creswick RA (5 February 1811 – 28 December 1869) was a British landscapist and illustrator, and one of the best-known members of the Birmingham School of landscapists. Creswick was born in Sheffield (at the time it was within Derbyshire). At Birmingham he first began to paint. His earliest appearance as an exhibitor was in 1827, at the Society of British Artists in London; in the ensuing year he sent to the Royal Academy the two pictures named Llyn Gwynant, Morning, and Carnarvon Castle. About the same time he settled in London and soon attracted some attention as a landscape painter. In 1842 he was elected an associate, and in 1850 a full member of the Royal Academy, which, for several years before his death, numbered hardly any other full members representing this branch of art. Creswick was industrious and extremely prolific; he produced, besides a steady outpouring of paintings, numerous illustrations for books. He died at his house in Bayswater, Linden Grove, after a few years of declining health. Creswick has paintings in several British Collections including Sheffield, Canterbury, Derby Art Gallery and the Northampton Gallery.
