Biography:
William Hodges began his career as a landscape painter working as the student and assistant of Richard Wilson from 1758 to 1765. Although he initially imitated his master’s style, he acquired a more individualistic approach after traveling with Captain James Cook. On this journey from 1772 to 1775, he served as the draughtsman while sailing to the South Pacific and made paintings from his drawings of Tahiti and Easter Island. From 1770 to 1784, Hodges worked in India and then traveled the continent after 1790. Five years later, he gave up painting and opened a bank in Dartmouth.
