Richard Hamilton Essex — Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

Richard Hamilton Essex is a British Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Richard Hamilton was a curate’s son who spent half his life dodging church services to paint. In 1833 he took his watercolours into Ely Cathedral, sat in the empty choir stalls at dusk, and let the stone arches and stained glass do the drawing for him. The result is a sheet of paper that somehow holds the hush of a cathedral without a single human figure. Hunt down the original at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge—it’s the size of a postcard, but it still makes the vaulted ceiling feel like it’s right there in the room with you.
