Cornelius Pearson was an accomplished landscape artist. He was born in Boston, Lincolnshire but moved at an early age to London where he became apprenticed to a copper-plate engraver. He soon abandoned engraving however to devote himself to being a watercolor painter. Although he lived in London throughout his career, he travelled for his work to paint in Kent, Ireland, Wales, the Lake District, Scotland, on the Thames and Devon.
He was a regular exhibitor at the Suffolk Street Galleries, and also exhibited at the Royal Academy, the New Watercolor Society and elsewhere. He was one of the oldest members of the Langham Sketching Club and was constant to the older traditions of English watercolor.
He died in 1891, aged 82. Two of his drawings are in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
He often painted in collaboration with his long-standing friend T Wainewright, who supplied sheep or cattle for his landscapes.

Thomas Francis Wainewright was a prolific and popular English Victorian coastal and landscape painter. He exhibited over 200 works at the Suffolk Street Galleries, and also exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1832 and 1862, the British Institute and elsewhere.
He married in Marylebone in 1846 and lived in London, although he painted in Scotland, Cornwall and Wales as well as the Southern counties. He also visited Normandy early on in his career.
He was particularly known for his landscapes with sheep or cattle and has a drawing in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

This beautiful pastoral scene is unusual, because it was created by two very accomplished artists, who had a long-standing friendship and frequently collaborated on original works. Each brought their particular strength; Pearson did the landscape and Wainewright did the sheep and cattle. Thus, the background of this work, the marvellous open countryside of Crymlyn Bog and the Neath River Estuary, with mountains on the horizon rolling down to the sea at Swansea Bay, was painted by Cornelius Pearson. The flock of mixed sheep resting contentedly in the foreground of the painting was painted by Thomas Wainewright.
In the wood to the lower right of the painting we glimpse the chimney of a cottage, with a wisp of smoke rising from the chimney. There are a few other isolated dwellings in the distance, at the perimeter of the estuary. The overall image is of an expansive and peaceful scene, majestic in its visual impact, yet conveying a sense of calm. The sky is pale blue with light pale cloud, the sea is illuminated by the sun, and the ground is green and verdant. The blossom on the trees suggests that it is spring.
This original watercolor was produced in 1872 and is signed by both artists in the lower left section.

Orlando Norie is considered to have been one of the foremost illustrators of the British army in the 19th century, with thousands of watercolors to his credit in public and private collections. His pictures are highly sought after and command high prices.
He was a descendant of the celebrated Edinburgh family of artists and designers, son of Sir Robert Norie and a descendant of James Norie the Elder. He was born in Bruges, and may have spent time with his family in France and Belgium. From about 1870 he produced works from a rented studio close to the army barracks in Aldershot, but also travelled and was active in Dunkirk. Lithographs were made from his drawings of the battles of the Alma, Balaklava and Inkerman in the Crimean War.
