Peter De Wint was an English landscape painter. He was one of the most technically skilled watercolour painters of his time. De Wint's paintings can be found in, among others, National Gallery and "Victoria and Albert Museum" in London and "The Collection" in Lincoln.
De Wint was born in 1784 in Stone in Staffordshire. His father was a Dutch doctor who immigrated to England from New York. Already in his childhood the boy devoted himself passionately to drawing and painting. At the age of 18, young Peter De Wint moved to the big city of London. There he studied with John Raphael Smith, the famous draughtsman and portrait painter. In 1806 De Wint travelled the city of Lincoln for the first time. His travelling companion was William Hilton. In 1810 De Wint married his sister Harriet. From the hometown of his wife Harriet Lincoln, he created many panoramic landscape paintings.
In Lincoln the talented young man took painting lessons with John Varley. Varley introduced De Wint to Dr. Thomas Munro, who ran an unofficial art academy. De Wint also took art lessons there. De Wint quickly established himself in the art scene and was considered a master of his profession. The quiet De Wint spent his life in a quiet routine of teaching and painting. As a teacher he taught children of the wealthy rural society how to draw. He travelled the rest of his working life and spent hours in the fields of England sketching. His favourite subjects were in the north of England: Yorkshire, Cumberland and Westmorland. In 1828, he visited Normandy. He also toured Wales several times between 1829 and 1835. De Wint was particularly fond of Wales, which is easily recognizable by his quote that Wales was the "land of painters". De Wint could look back on successful years as an artist and teacher, who was very popular with colleagues, patrons and students. His contemporaries describe him as a clever businessman with a pious but stingy personality.
Apart from still lifes and studies of the streets and markets of Lancaster, all the motifs are De Wint's landscapes. After his death at the age of 65, the value of his paintings increased enormously. De Wint's painting convinces with an earthy warmth of colour in contrast to the usual colourful and kitschy paintings of that time. He used a limited colour palette for his paintings. His paintings speak of the yearning way to admire the landscape of his homeland. Through skilful colour contrasts, the Englishman was able to create a unique atmosphere.
