Thomas Hearne (artist)
Thomas Hearne (22 September 1744 – 13 April 1817) was an English landscape painter, engraver and illustrator.〔(Thomas Hearne – biography ) (handprint.com).〕〔(Biography of Thomas Hearne ) (Answers.com).〕 Hearne's watercolours were typified by applying a wash of subtle subdued colours over a clear outline in fine brush, pen or pencil.〔〔Patrick Conner. "Hearne, Thomas." Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online (accessed 21 October 2011)〕 His techniques were studied by younger artists such as Thomas Girtin and J. M. W. Turner.〔Simon Fenwick, 'Hearne, Thomas (1744–1817)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004〕
==Early life==
Thomas Hearne was born at Marshfield, Gloucestershire. When he was five years old, his father, William, died and Thomas moved with his mother, Prudence, to Brinkworth, Wiltshire. One of his biographers, Simon Fenwick, suggests that the nearby Malmesbury Abbey proved an inspiration to Hearne's later interest in Gothic architecture. As a teenager he was apprenticed to his uncle who worked as a pastry cook in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden. Next door was a print shop; Miller, the engraver, no doubt facilitated his move to the profession of artist.〔
In its early years, the Royal Society of Arts offered prizes—which it called "premiums"—for people who could successfully achieve one of a number of published challenges. In 1763 Hearne was awarded a guinea premium for a still life. The next year he received 8 guineas for an equestrian piece.〔 By 1765 he had become apprenticed to the engraver William Woollett, who came to consider him the finest landscape engraver of his day and with whom he stayed for six years.
Early in 1771 Hearne spent six weeks with Woollett and the young George Beaumont in Henstead, Suffolk at the home of the latter's tutor at Eton, Revd Charles Davy. For Beaumont it proved the inspiration for his future profession as a landscape painter himself.〔Felicity Owen 'Beaumont, Sir George Howland, seventh baronet (1753–1827)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004〕 Beaumont would later accompany Hearne on location to the north of England and Scotland in 1777 and 1778.〔Michael Pidgley "Hearne, Thomas" The Oxford Companion to Western Art.
