Cornelius Pearson was an accomplished landscape artist. Born in Boston, Lincolnshire, he moved at an early age to London where he became apprenticed to a copper-plate engraver. However, he soon devoted himself to being a watercolour painter. He lived in London throughout his career but travelled to paint in Kent, Ireland, Wales, the Lake District, Scotland, on the Thames and Devon.
He was a regular exhibitor at the Suffolk Street Galleries, and also exhibited at the Royal Academy, the New Watercolour Society and elsewhere. He was one of the oldest members of the Langham Sketching Club and was constant to the older traditions of English watercolour. Two of his drawings are in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
He often painted in collaboration with his long-standing friend T Wainewright, who supplied sheep or cattle for his landscapes.
