CAMERA OBSCURA ‘IN’ ART
PAUL SANDBY (1731-1809)
Considered the ‘father of watercolour’, Sandby has depicted in his painting ‘Rosslyn Castle, Midlothian’ from ca.1780, a camera being used by a lady.
In 1808 he & his wife separated. He paid her expenses & supported their children. As his art matured he was less influenced by Dutch art & more individual in his own style. Returning from the Ale House (1809), Cottages (1810-2) & Kensington Gravel Pits (1812)

He took a few days to die, 1st August 1809.
