Biography from the Archives of askART
In his hometown of Canterbury, England, Thomas Sidney Cooper became one of England's most prominent mid 19th century painters, with his signature work being bucolic landscapes with cattle and sheep. In 1882, he founded an art school in Canterbury, and his work is at the Canterbury Royal Museum.
As his career progressed from the time he returned to London in 1831, Thomas Sidney Cooper became known as "Cow Cooper because of the many precisely painted bucolic landscapes he did with grazing cattle, "some what sanitized so as not to offend urban clients, but also monumental enough to delight country squires who loved their livestock." Cooper also painted sheep onto his canvases.
The best years of his career in terms of public attention were the 1840s and 1850s, which was during a period when Prince Albert and Queen Victoria commissioned him to paint their herds.
He became a regular exhibiter at the Royal Academy. "No one has broken his record of sending at least one picture to the Royal Academy of Arts summer exhibition every year from 1833 to 1902---a total of 266 entries."
