James Howe (painter)
James Howe (1780–1836) was a Scottish animal and portrait painter.
Life
James Howe was born on 30 August 1780 at
Highland Society of Scotland to stimulate breeding. He was also commissioned by Sir John Sinclair to draw examples of various breeds of cattle. A set of fourteen engravings of horses from drawings by Howe were published and, for the most part, engraved by W. H. Lizars, at Edinburgh in 1824, and a series of forty-five similar engravings of horses and cattle was published in 1832.[1]
Howe came once to London to paint the horses of the royal stud, but resided principally at Edinburgh, where he was a frequent exhibitor at the Edinburgh exhibitions, Royal Institution, and Royal Scottish Academy from 1808 to the time of his death. In 1815 he visited the field of Waterloo, and painted a picture of the battle, which he exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1816.[1]
Howe died at Edinburgh on 11 July 1836.[1]
