William Henry Crome was born in Norwich on 22nd October 1806. He was the 3rd son of John Crome, one of the founders of the Norwich school. William Henry was very unfortunate in losing his father at the early age of fifteen. Whilst John Berney, his older brother, had sheltered under his father’s wing, William had to make his own way, and this he commenced to do with good effect. Father John Crome died in 1821. William would have assisted his father in the studio at the age of 15 and was probably becoming quite competent. John Berney probably carried on the tuition and many of William’s early works were moonlights and one can decidedly see the influence of his elder brother. In 1826 William Henry was sufficiently competent to exhibit a painting entitled A View at Costessey, Norfolk, at the British institution. The acceptance of the exhibit must have spurred him on. William Married Mary Ann Steel, it is not known how many children they had but at least one son, Vivian painted. At the Age of 24 William was beginning to look towards one of the Old Masters – Claude Lorraine, for influence. This influence can be identified in many of his Scottish scenes painted around 1830. William travelled to the continent, his visit is recorded by an inscription on a painting, it reads: Near Aix La Chappelle, Brussels 1854. There are other paintings signed and dated 1866. William Henry Crome died in 1873.

- Cattle Watering in a Landscape - British 19th century art Victorian oil paintingBy Samuel BoughLocated in London, GBThis lovely British Victorian landscape oil painting is attributed to noted artist Sam Bough. It was painted circa 1855 after Bough had moved to Hamilton Lanarkshire in Scotland to focus on painting landscapes along side fellow artist Alexander Frazer. The composition is several cattle watering in a stream under the boughs of an ancient tree. There is superb impasto, for example on the clouds and this is a charming 19th century oil painting. Provenance. London estate. Condition. Oil on canvas, 29 inches by 16 inches unframed and in good condition. Frame. Housed in an ornate gilt Victorian frame, 36 inches by 23 inches framed and in good condition. Samuel Bough RSA (1822–1878) was an English-born landscape painter who spent much of his career working in Scotland. He was born the third of five children in Abbey Street, Carlisle in northern England, the son of James Bough (1794-1845), a shoemaker, and Lucy Walker, a cook. He was raised in relative poverty, but with a keen encouragement in the arts. He was self-taught but mixed with local artists such as Richard Harrington and George Sheffield, and was strongly influenced by the work of Turner. After an unsuccessful attempt to live as an artist in Carlisle he obtained a job and as a theatre scenery painter in Manchester in 1845, later also working in Glasgow in the same role. Encouraged by Daniel Macnee to take up landscape painting he moved to Hamilton from 1851-4 and worked there with Alexander Fraser. In 1854 he moved to Port Glasgow to work on his technique of painting ships and harbours. His paintings were noted for their sensitivity to atmosphere and light, were often of cloudy shorelines and busy harbours. He also began supplementing his income by illustrating books, before moving to Edinburgh in 1855. On coming to Edinburgh he lived in a terraced house at 5 Malta Terrace in the Stockbridge area of the city. Following Turner's example, he became a skilful painter of seaports. He was buried in Dean Cemetery Edinburgh on 23 November 1878. The grave bears a bronze medallion of his head by William Brodie...Category
