Henry Corbould
Henry Corbould (1787–1844) was an English artist.
Life
The third son of
The collection of Ancient Marbles in the British Museum, on which he was engaged for about thirty years, was in course of publication at the time of his death. He was also occasionally employed in making drawings for the Dilettanti and Antiquarian Societies, of which he was a member. He was devotedly attached to art, and was surpassed by few in professional knowledge; no painter of his time was more thoroughly acquainted with drawing; and his copies from the antique may be referred to as models of accuracy and truth. Nor was he by any means without fancy and invention: some of his book illustrations are among the most graceful and effective productions of the age; and few designers ever more completely entered into the spirit of the author. He died at Robertsbridge, in 1844, of an attack of apoplexy, supposed to have been brought on by exposure to cold.
Henry Corbould is not to be confused with his son Edward Henry Corbould.
