Thomas Sidney Cooper - Paintings


Thomas Sidney Cooper, who was admired by many of the prominent artists who succeeded him, was a British landscape and animal painter, lithographer and graphic artist of the 19th century who became famous with many sidetrips and detours became.
Born on September 26, 1803 in Canterbury.
Died on February 07, 1902 in Harbledown/Canterbury.
Despite of the fact that Thomas Sidney Cooper's drawing talent had been discovered at an early stage, he received three different apprenticeships: coach painter, stage painter and graphic artist, before starting his studies at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1824. After a three-year stay in Brussels and meetings with the animal painter Eugène Verboeckhoven, who was very important for Cooper, the artist returned to London in 1833, impoverished. His rise to a wealthy painter began with some lithographs, of which he perfected the technical execution. This was followed by landscape depictions and repeatedly by paintings of cattle. After being granted an order from Queen Victoria in 1849, one could describe Thomas Sidney Cooper as a rich man. Based on his rough apprenticeship, he founded an art school for poor boys in Canterbury, bringing some life into the local arts and culture scenes.
