The Englishman Thomas Stothard worked as a painter, illustrator and engraver. His father was a well-to-do London innkeeper. At the age of five Thomas Stothard moved to relatives in Yorkshire. There he went to school, where his artistic talent was already noticeable. After his school time Stothard started an education. He learned the art of designing brocade silk patterns. In his spare time he made drawings to illustrate his favourite poems. A little later Stothard decided to dedicate himself completely to art. In 1778 he was accepted at the Royal Academy of Arts.
The talented artist's book illustrations can be found in volumes of poetry and in renowned magazines, including Novelist's Magazine. He also created designs for concert tickets, illustrations for almanacs and portraits of well-known public figures of the time. His filigree copperplate engravings show a unique style, which still makes his works a sought-after collector's item today. It is estimated that there are more than 5,000 designs and works by the artist. Thomas Stothard's oil paintings show a strong colouring, which was inspired by Rubens' style. "The Vintage" is one of his most famous oil paintings. Today, the work can be admired in the London National Gallery. Another prominent work of the artist is entitled "The Procession of the Canterbury Pilgrims". It is also owned by the National Gallery of London. The copper engraving of this famous work was made by several artists.
Thomas Stothard's artistic work adorns the staircase in the English country castle Burghley House. The paintings deal thematically with war and immoderateness. The dome of the Advocates Library in Edinburgh is decorated with his works. He developed numerous designs for decorations that would later adorn Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately, these designs were never realized, as George IV died at this time. A collection of his copper engravings can be admired today in the British Museum. Thomas Stothard was artistically active until his death. Even at an advanced age he had an intense imagination and the skill to realize his detailed works. He died on 27 April 1834 and his son Charles Alfred Stothard was also a talented painter and antiquarian. He had the honour to paint the Proclamation of the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837.
