| Object history | Historical Significance: English painter and draughtsman. He received his early education from his father, Thomas Malton the elder (1726-1801), who was a cabinet-maker, perspective lecturer and architectural draughtsman. He entered the Royal Academy in 1773. He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1773 and 1803, showing mainly accurate architectural views. He also painted scenery for Covent Garden Theatre, London. From 1783 he practiced as a drawing master, specialising in perspective. The young J. M. W. Turner was amongst his pupils. His series of views titled A Picturesque Tour through the Cities of London and Westminster was published in 1792. This was followed by Picturesque Views of the City fo Oxford in 1802. Such publications respond to the contemporary popularity for engraved topographical views. |
