Thomas Hosmer Shepherd
Aguarelas arquitetónicas topográficas detalhadas
Thomas Hosmer Shepherd foi um artista britânico de aquarelas topográficas, bem conhecido por suas pinturas arquitetônicas. Thomas era o irmão do artista topográfico George "Sidney" Shepherd. Thomas foi contratado para ilustrar a arquitetura em Londres e, mais tarde, em Edimburgo, Bath e Bristol. Suas pinturas foram a base para gravuras em aço em muitos livros (ver bibliografia). 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 morava na Batchelor Street, em Islington, no norte de Londres. Sua residência é marcada por uma placa comemorativa.
