Thomas Doughty
Windsor Castle by Hudson River Artist Thomas Doughty (American, 1793-1856)

About the Item

Windsor Castle, a painting by Hudson River School artist Thomas Doughty (1793-1856) is oil on canvas and measures 17.13 x 27.63 inches. The work is signed by the artist at the lower left. Doughty's picturesque view of Windsor Castle is appropriately framed and ready to hang. Thomas Doughty, a native of Philadelphia, is well-recognized as one of the first American artists to make his name as a landscape painter. Doughty began his career in dry goods, first apprenticing with a local tanner before establishing his own leather business in partnership with his older brother. In 1816, despite having no formal artistic training, he exhibited a landscape painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Several years later, in 1820, Doughty left his tanning business in order to pursue landscape painting in earnest, quickly establishing himself as a singular talent. He showed again at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1822, after which he exhibited annually over the course of the following decade. During this time, he was also elected to the Pennsylvania Academy as a full member (1824), and as an honorary member of the National Academy of Design (1827). Doughty further exhibited his landscapes at the American Academy of Fine Art in New York, at Peale's Baltimore Museum in Maryland, as well as at the Boston Museum and Boston Athenaeum in Massachusetts. Sometime between 1826 and 1828, Doughty relocated to Boston, MA, where he taught drawing, before moving back to Philadelphia in 1830. Doughty returned again to Boston in 1832, and would remain there for five years, before leaving in 1837 to travel in England for a year, after which he returned to New York. In 1845 he set off once again for England, Ireland, and France for another year-long stint, before returning to New York City where he remained until his death in 1856. Throughout his career, Doughty supplemented his income by converting his landscapes into engravings for publication.
