Portrait of Thomas Brooks

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

Thomas Brooks shaped Victorian America’s idea of home comforts. He carved rosewood and brass armchairs like the one in the collection around 1847, their leather seats worn in by decades of family life. In 1846 he also painted The Dawn of Love, a quiet oil-school scene that turns a sunrise into a gentle promise between two figures. Tap The Dawn of Love to step inside that early-morning glow.
