Edward Corbould — Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

Edward Corbould is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Edward Corbould had a habit of turning his studio into a stage. He’d drape cloths like scenery, pose his kids as characters, and paint them into fairy tales—only instead of knights, his kids got winged sprites. In 1838 he made “The Peri’s First Pilgrimage,” a watercolor of a tiny winged figure kneeling in a Persian garden, her shadow stretching long across the grass. Look it up; it’s the kind of image that makes you wonder what happened next.
