Thomas Longcroft — Paintings, Biography & Famous Works

Thomas Longcroft is a Patna School of Painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Thomas Longcroft spent his 1780s bouncing between India and England, sketchbook always in hand. He wasn’t a grandee—just a curious traveler who set up by the Jumna River for weeks to trace how sunlight turned the Taj Mahal’s marble pink at dawn. His watercolors let you stand right there in 1786, bugs humming off the page. That’s why you’ll find his Taj Mahal on the River Jumna at Agra in Gallery Tiles—tap it and step into the exact warm morning he painted.
