Biography:
Thomas Girtin originally worked in London as the apprentice to mezzotint engraver, Edward Dayes. He then met J.M.W. Turner who recognized his drawing skills and encouraged him to paint landscapes. He began painting with watercolors and exhibited them at the Royal Academy beginning in 1794, thus developing an appreciation for the medium. Girtin also collaborated with Turner on a project copying architectural paintings, many by Canaletto. In 1802, Girtin died from tuberculosis at the age of twenty-seven.
