Lot description
Edward Thompson Davis (1833-1867) Edward Thompson Davis (1833-1867) 'Learning by Heart' oil on board 20 x 15cm Worcester-born Thompson Davis was a genre painter, who had studied at both the Birmingham School of Design and the Worcester School of Design. He went on to exhibit twenty works at the Royal Academy, but the majority of his work was via commissions for wealthy collectors, particularly those living in or near his native Worcester. In 1866, he travelled to Rome to study, but died there at the age of just 34 during a cholera outbreak. The artist’s limited output has meant he has not perhaps had the critical acclaim he deserves, but his technical skill and the sensitive handling of his subjects places him amongst the great Victorian artists.
