Thomas Davies – An Eighteenth-Century War Artist in British North America : War Art as Cultural Signifier
|
| Abstract |
Thomas Davies (c.1737-1812) was a British army officer and artist, known for his water colour scenes of Montreal and other locales in North America. The author argues that "such pictures do as much to promote the merits of peace as they do to record the disasters of war. It is in the war art of Thomas Davies from the mid-eighteenth century that the developing interest in British landscape painting is transmitted through the military picture."
