About Thomas Rowlandson

1756–1827 • United Kingdom of Great Britain and IrelandKingdom of Great Britain

Thomas Rowlandson (1757–1827) was an English artist and caricaturist whose satirical watercolors and prints captured the social life of Georgian Britain with unparalleled wit and technical mastery. Alongside James Gillray, he is recognized as one of the greatest British graphic artists, and his distinctive flowing line and keen observations have made his work integral to understanding late 18th and early 19th-century British society.
