Samuel
HOWITT (1756-1822)
The
son of a Nottinghamshire family of squires,
Howitt became a professional artist specialising
in Sporting subjects. He began as an amateur but
due to financial difficulty he turned
professional.Howitt worked at a private academy
in Ealing as a drawing master early in his
professional career.He began painting as a
hobby. He enjoyed hunting and racing, mimicking
this interest in his work. When the family
fortune dwindled Howitt move to London were he
would make a career out of his talent,
flourishing as a professional artist. Samuel
Howitt first exhibited at the Royal Academy in
1785, and went on to establish a formidable
reputation, perhaps second only to George
Stubbs, for his accurate and lively depictions
of natural history and sporting subjects. His
superior watercolors and aquatints depict
dramatic racing and hunting scenes as well as an
array of conventional and exotic animals. He was
the brother-in-law of Thomas Rowlandson, and
although he was largely self-taught in his
profession, he belonged to the artistic circles
of the day. His first exhibition was in 1783 at
the Incorporated Society of Artists, where he
continued to exhibit. He married the sister of
the celebrated caricaturist, Thomas Rowlandson
(at times their work was draughted
similarly).Samuel HOWITT drew for several
Published works, such as Etchings of Animals
(1803), Oriental Field Sports (1805 and later),
Fables of Aesop (1809 and later) and NOTABLY for
the BRITISH SPORTSMAN.There are some 72 fine
copperplate engravings. Published in 1779/1800
and in later editions to c.1812.
THESE are not restrikes but from an original
early folio . . the later ones are on much smarter
and smaller paper
