About the artist

Augustus Wall Callcott RA, an eminent English artist in his time, was born in 1779 and died in 1844. His birth took place in what is now known as Notting Hill Gate, but was then Kensington Gravel Pits. Prior to becoming a painter, he spent several years as a choir singer at Westminster Abbey and dabbled in music. At the age of twenty, however, he redirected his career towards the arts and began studying painting under the mentorship of John Hoppner at the Royal Academy.

Callcott's skill in capturing landscapes, rivers, and coastlines quickly propelled his reputation. His dedication and precision in his work led to his associate membership at the Royal Academy in 1806 and his election as a full Academician by 1810. A testament to his meticulous nature, his output was relatively small; from 1805 to 1810, he showcased about four paintings a year, ten in 1811, six in 1812 and from 1812 to 1822, he exhibited only seven works.

His achievements were acknowledged when he was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1837, shortly after her ascension to the throne. The following year, he succeeded William Seguier as the Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures. Notably, his friendship with J.M.W. Turner reflected the respect and admiration his talent commanded. Today, Callcott's legacy lives on, with his works displayed in the Tate, V&A, and the University of Oxford collections.
