托马斯·巴特斯沃思

1768-1842 English

拿破仑海战水彩画家

托马斯·巴特沃斯是拿破仑战争时期的一名英国水手，后来成为了一位海洋画家。他接受委托创作作品，在世时很少展出。 巴特沃思出生于怀特岛。他于1795年在伦敦加入皇家海军，在与法国的战争期间在"卡罗琳"号护卫舰上服役，后于1800年因健康原因从梅诺卡岛被遣送回国。 The National Maritime Museum in London has 27 watercolours by him, several of which are mounted on sheets from 18th century printed signal and muster books. He went on to paint numerous naval battle scenes and pictures such as the ‘'Inshore Squadron off Cadiz in 1797'’ which are thought to show scenes he witnessed. On being appointed Marine Painter to the East India Company he painted ship portraits on commission. It had been thought that he died in 1830, but recent research has found that he painted Queen Victoria's visit to Edinburgh in 1842 before he died in London later that year. 他的儿子詹姆斯·爱德华·巴特沃斯（1817–1894）也成为了一位海洋画家。
