Francis Nicholson is a Rococo painting artist. 8 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Francis Nicholson painted sweeping British landscapes in watercolour between the late 1700s and early 1800s. He captured real places like Hawes Water in Westmoreland and Loch Lomond, often showing figures in valleys and riverside scenes. His brush traced the hills and skies of an era before photography. Tap Edinburgh from Bruntsfield Links to step into one of his most detailed views.
