	Thomas Girtin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Girtin (18 February 1775 - 9 November 1802), was an English painter and etcher, who played a key role in establishing watercolour as a reputable art form.
		Girtin learnt drawing as a boy, and was apprenticed to Edward Dayes (1763-1804), a topographical watercolourist.
		Girtin's early landscapes are akin to 18th-century topographical sketches, but in later years he developed a bolder, more spacious, Romantic style, which had a lasting influence on English painting.

		Thomas Girtin was born in London in 1775, the same year as J.M.W. Turner, and died in 1802, at the age of twenty-seven.
		Girtin was apprenticed at the age of 14, in the year of the French Revolution, and by the age of 19 he was exhibiting at London's Royal Academy, and producing watercolour landscapes for private patrons.
		However, unlike Turner, Girtin remained something of an outsider to the art establishment: he did not study at the Academy's schools, and was rumoured to have radical, or even revolutionary sympathies.

		His father died while Thomas was a child, and his widow married Mr Vaughan, a pattern-draughtsman.
		Girtin learnt drawing as a boy, and was apprenticed to Edward Doyes (1763-1804), the mezzotint engraver, and he soon made J. Turners acquaintance.
		From 1794 to his death he was an exhibitor at the Royal Academy; and some fine examples of his work have been bequeathed by private owners to the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

		Thomas Girtin was one of Britain's great radical artists, an inspiration and a rival to JMW Turner.
		Girtin took longer than Turner to break out of the copying system and make his own sketching tours, with patrons funding his experiments; the pictures of Britain he brought back were enigmatic, often sinister.
		Girtin took his 360-degree view of London from the roof of the British Plate Glass Manufactory, near the southern side of Blackfriars Bridge - from the part of London where he was born.

		The task of those who organised Thomas Girtin: The Art of Watercolour at Tate Britain is simply stated: to choose those of Girtin's works that both reveal his technical genius and are in an exhibitable condition.
		Girtin suggested the underlying structure and monumental shapes in a landscape, emphasising the eternal grandeur of nature.
		Girtin got better as he got older, and the highlight of the exhibition for me was the late watercolours he executed on the spot using one or two colours.

		Girtin however was one of the first to emphasize the horizontal breadth of his topographical views, as well as the effects of lighting and atmosphere of the place in which a famous building or ruin was located.
		Girtin seemed to enjoy inverting many of the conventions of the picturesque tradition: investing the same imposing height and painstaking detail in the drawing of this hut as he would in a medieval ruin, and thereby giving this common scene a timeless quality.
		Girtin's late landscape style, apparent also in his wonderfully elegant and understated Paris etchings, favored broad horizontal vistas in which the principal subjects are sky and earth joined by a special kind of light.

	THOMAS GIRTIN
		Girtin visited Paris in 1801, following the armistice with France, leaving his eight months’ pregnant wife in Islington (though he was spotted in London two days after his supposed departure, saying his farewells to his mistress).
		Girtin was forced to sketch from a hackney carriage, in case of arrest as an English spy.
		The playwright Thomas Holcroft (1745-1809) met him in Paris and remarked: ‘His facility was great, and I was surprised at the dispatch with which he made his drawings’.

		He was apprenticed to an engraver but was employed, together with J. Turner, to make topographical drawings.
		Girtin was among the first to paint naturalistically in watercolor, abandoning the tinted drawing for a direct painting technique, using broad, strong areas of color.
		In this technique he radically influenced English landscape painting and anticipated the 19th-century watercolor.

	Reviews: Thomas Girtin and Lucien Freud at Tate Britain, review by Malcolm Moseley
		I recently attended Tate Britain [the original Tate Gallery on Millbank] to visit the exhibition of Thomas Girtin's watercolours: a major display of his life¹s work.
		Girtin, who died aged only 27 (1775-1802), was a contemporary of Turner and of whom Turner said "I would have starved if Tom had lived longer", such is the style and power of the work.
		I have never seen figurative work like this, where he continually challenges the notion of what composition is. So, overcoming my ignorance of his work in depth, I would recommend this show as a fantastic tribute to a great traditional painter whose obsession is in depicting our vulnerability through really powerful and memorable works.

		With his rival, J. Turner, he extended the technical possibilities of watercolour and in doing so demonstrated that watercolours could have the visual impact and emotional range of oils.
		Although close in style throughout the 1790s, by 1800 Turner and Girtin were beginning to diverge: whereas the former dissolved forms to express his idea of Nature in a state of flux, the latter sought out a landscape’s underlying patterns to convey his awe of Nature’s permanence as well as its grandeur.
		Girtin’s reduction of landscape to simple and monumental forms, his panoramic compositions, his bold palette of browns and blues, and his sensitivity to natural effects such as cloud formations, were to influence watercolour painters as diverse as John Varley, Cornelius Varley, Peter De Wint and John Sell Cotman.
