Thomas Hosmer Shepherd
Detaillierte architektonische Aquarelle
Thomas Hosmer Shepherd war ein britischer topografischer Aquarellkünstler, der für seine Architekturgemälde bekannt war. Thomas war der Bruder des topografischen Künstlers George „Sidney" Shepherd. Thomas wurde beauftragt, Architektur in London und später in Edinburgh, Bath und Bristol zu illustrieren. Seine Gemälde bildeten die Grundlage für Stahlstiche in vielen Büchern (siehe Bibliografie). Shepherd's work, mostly topographical, is characterized by an attention to detail, along with lifelike scenes that contained people, carriages and horses. His first acclaim came with Metropolitan improvements, a publication of modern London architecture commissioned by the publisher Jones & Co. He worked mostly for Frederick Crace, who employed him to paint old London buildings prior to their demolition, with much of the work surviving in the Crace collection at the British Museum. Shepherd lebte in der Batchelor Street in Islington im Norden Londons. Sein Wohnsitz ist mit einer Gedenktafel gekennzeichnet.
