THOMAS (1775-18o2) , See also:English painter and etcher, was the son of a well-to-do cordage maker in See also:Southwark, See also:London. His See also:father died while Thomas was a See also:child, and his widow married Mr See also:Vaughan, a See also:pattern-draughtsman. Girtin learnt See also:drawing as a boy, and was apprenticed to See also:Edward Doyes (1763-1804), the See also:mezzotint engraver, and he soon made J. M. W. See also:Turner's acquaintance. His architectural and topographical sketches and drawings soon established his reputation, his use of See also:water-See also:colour for landscapes being such as to give him the See also:credit of having created See also:modern water-colour See also:painting, as opposed to See also:mere " tinting." His etchings also were characteristic of his See also:artistic See also:genius. His See also:early See also:death from See also:consumption (9th of See also:November 1802) led indeed to Turner saying that " had Tom Girtin lived I should have starved." From 1794 to his death he was an exhibitor at the Royal See also:Academy; and some See also:fine examples of his See also:work have been bequeathed by private owners to the See also:British Museum and the See also:Victoria and See also:Albert Museum.
