British artist William Henry Pigott is predominantly known for naturalistic landscape paintings depicting picturesque countryside and placid rural life. Born in Sheffield, England, he initially trained as an engraver before pursuing his true vocation.
His views are reminiscent of the early English watercolourists and capture nature’s abundant beauty with modest elegance. Particularly inspired by the uplands - e.g. the Peak District, North Wales and the Lakes, his oeuvre is one of pastoral bliss under passing clouds. Cattle are a frequent inclusion along with farmworkers and fishermen.
Pigott exhibited extensively including at the Royal Academy, Royal Society of British Artists, Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, Society of Watercolour Painters in Liverpool and the Sheffield Society of Artists where he was a member. He’s represented at Sheffield Museum. His sons, Charles Pigott (1863-1939) and Bertram Pigott (b. 1872) both became artists.
