Thomas Hosmer Shepherd
Aquarelles architecturales topographiques détaillées
Thomas Hosmer Shepherd était un artiste britannique spécialisé dans les aquarelles topographiques, bien connu pour ses peintures architecturales. Thomas était le frère de l'artiste topographique George « Sidney » Shepherd. Thomas fut engagé pour illustrer l'architecture à Londres, puis à Édimbourg, Bath et Bristol. Ses peintures ont servi de base aux gravures sur acier dans de nombreux livres (voir bibliographie). 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 vivait dans Batchelor Street, à Islington, dans le nord de Londres. Sa résidence est marquée par une plaque commémorative.
