Biography:
John Crome was apprenticed to a sign painter early in his life, and then traveled to London in 1790 to copy the works in his benefactor, Thomas Harvey’s personal collection. Here he first encountered his major influences, Wilson, Gainsborough, Ruisdael and Hobbema. Crome helped found the Norwich Society of Artists in 1803 and became their president. Although he had a strong reputation, Crome’s progressive developments kept his income low and forced him to teach for most of his career.
