Thomas Charles Leeson Rowbotham, NWS (1823-1875)
The painter and lithographer, Thomas Leeson Rowbotham, is best remembered for his romantic landscape watercolours inspired by his sketching tours. Early in his career, he was influenced by the work of J M W Turner and Charles Bentley, and praised by the critic, John Ruskin. Not afraid to experiment, he also developed a fascination for light, which he applied to Italian lake and coastal views, comparable to those of Thomas Miles Richardson, both senior and junior.
Oleography is a Victorian process of replicating oil paintings using a printing technique which combines oils and varnishes, aiming to capture the colour, texture, and character of an original painting. Each Oleograph is carefully hand-finished to recreate the timeless look and appeal of an original Oil Painting.
