Samuel Jackson ((Bristol, 1794 - Clifton 1869).
First employed in his father's trading house in Bristol, his health having led him to visit Scotland, Ireland and the West Indies, his taste for the art developed to the point that he became a pupil of Danby. He began as an exhibitor in London in 1823. He was a friend of Prout and Pine, and in 1832 he was made a partner of the Water-Colour Society. He was one of the first artists who sought their subjects in the picturesque sites of Wales. In 1848 he abandoned the watercolor group.
In 1853 he exhibited two watercolors at the Royal Academy which caused a sensation. Samuel Jackson is one of the best English watercolorists.
Works at the Bristol Museums, London.
