In his hometown of Canterbury, England, Thomas Sidney Cooper became one
of England's most prominent mid 19th century painters, with his
signature work being bucolic landscapes with cattle and sheep.
He began painting in Canterbury as an employee of a carriage painter
and also in the theatre as a painter of backdrops. His talent was
recognized, and he was invited to become a student at the Royal Academy
in London, where he was especially encouraged by portrait painter Sir
