Art Appreciation
Born on December 5, 1784, George "Sidney" Shepherd was a British topographical, architectural and landscape painter.
He lived in France up until the start of the French Revolutionary War when he moved back to Britain in 1793. At the age of 19, Shepherd was recognized by the Society of Arts with the silver palette.
He was a contributor to John Britton's The Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain, vol IV, and provided illustration to Charles Clarke and Rudolph Ackermann.
In 1831, Shepherd was a founding member of the New Society of Painters in Watercolours (now known as the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours).
