This page forms part of a series of pages dedicated to the many artists who painted in Bayeux. A full list of all the artists with a link to their works can be found at the bottom of this page.
Thomas Shotter Boys (1803–1874) was an English watercolour painter and lithographer. Thomas was born at Pentonville, London, on 2 January 1803. He was articled to the engraver George Cooke.
When his apprenticeship came to an end he went to Paris where he met and came under the influence of Richard Parkes Bonington, who persuaded him to abandon engraving for painting.

The Notre-Dame cathedral in Bayeux, IMHO, is nice but not worth a side-trip to see it. Obviously, if you are in the area, it's a nice excursion to go and see it (after having seen the tapestry). It is imposing and enormous, but misses that little "je ne sais quoi".… - 10000
