Biography:
Thomas Rowlandson was raised by his affluent aunt and uncle because of his textile merchant father’s financial hardships. In 1772, he enrolled in London’s Royal Academy Schools. Two years later, he traveled to Paris. Upon his return, he exhibited at the Royal Academy and won a silver medal in 1777. A year later, he left school in order to set up his own business. His prints were Rococo-like depictions of Georgian English life made mostly in ink and watercolor. Rowlandson inherited a large sum of money in 1789 after the death of his aunt. He lost much of it due to a gambling problem and was in poverty by 1793. Four years later, he began working for publisher Rudolph Ackermann and his fortunes increased. His work was published for most of the twenty remaining years of his life.
