Waller Hugh Paton

Waller Hugh Paton (1828 - 1895) was active/lived in United Kingdom.  Waller Paton is known for Landscape painting.

Waller Hugh Paton, younger brother of Sir Joseph Noel Paton, was a prolific and successful landscape artist working in both oil and watercolor.  As a youth he assisted his father in damask design.  In 1848 he took watercolor lessons from John Houston, R.S.A. and began painting in earnest.

He exhibited annually at the Royal Scottish Academy (1851-95), and at the Royal Academy (1860-80).  In 1862 he was commissioned by Queen Victoria to make a drawing of Holyrood Palace.  On a visit to London in 1860, Paton is reported to have studied Turner's work avidly. He compares to Turner at his most Claudean, in that whilst he is attentive to atmospheric effects, his works possess a classical stillness, heightened by a high degree of finish.

He was equally skilled in watercolor and oil paintings, his oils usually of a smaller scale. More often his landscapes were of mountains, lochs, and trees, with meticulously detailed rocks and plants.    ...  [Displaying 1000 of 1150 characters.]  Artist bio
