ABOUT THE ARTIST
John Wilson Carmichael (1799 -1868)
Marine; landscape and figure painter in oil and watercolour. Draughtsman, illustrator and drawing master. Born in Newcastle to a shipwright, so he did spend time at sea as a boy. Although he had established his painting workshop by the age of 23, which he shared with landscape painter Thomas Richardson Senior. He began exhibiting in 1825 at the Northumberland Institution for the Promotion of Fine Arts. In 1826 he married a Mary Sweet, they lived at various locations on Tyneside over the next twenty years.

Throughout this period Carmichael developed a reputation as one of Northumbrias best liked and respected marine and landscape artists. He did return to sea to participate officially in the Baltic theatre of the Crimean War. He gave up art and retired to Scarborough, where he died, after the early death of his son. Major exhibitions of his work where held at the Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle in 1982 in connection with the Newcastle Festival and in 1999 to mark the bicentenary of his birth.
