Thomas Whitcombe
Thomas Whitcombe (possibly 19 May 1763 – c. 1824) was a prominent British maritime painter of the Napoleonic Wars. Among his work are over 150 actions of the Royal Navy, and he exhibited at the Royal Academy, the British Institution and the Royal Society of British Artists. His pictures are highly sought after today.
==Life==
Thomas Whitcombe was born in London between 1752 and 19 May 1763, with the latter date frequently cited.〔He is recorded as entering the Royal Academy Schools as a student on 8 March 1781, his age is recorded as 18 since '19th last May'〕 Little is known of his background or training, although speculation based on the locations depicted in his paintings may provide some clues.
It is known that he was in Bristol in 1787 and later travelled to the South Coast; there are few ports or harbours from this region that do not feature in his work. In 1789 he toured Wales and in 1813 he travelled to Devon, painting scenes around Plymouth harbour. During his career he also painted scenes showing the Cape of Good Hope, Madeira, Cuba and Cape Horn. Between 1783 and 1824 he lived in London, including addresses in Covent Garden and Somers Town during the course of his exhibiting career.
His date of death, like that of his birth is uncertain; it was not before 1824, and possibly as late as 1834.
