Artist

Thomas Shepherd

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

Thomas Shepherd painted quiet, detailed street scenes in watercolor, mostly of early-19th-century Edinburgh. One sheet shows the High Street with John Knox’s house in the background—look for the small shop signs and people going about their business. Unlike today’s photos, each building is hand-drawn with fine brush lines and soft colors. If this quiet corner of the city catches your eye, tap “The High Street in Edinburgh, showing John Knox's house” to zoom in on the shop fronts and rooftops.
