Caudebec-en-Caux – The Artists – Callow, William

This page forms part of a series of pages dedicated to the many artists who painted in Caudebec-en-Caux. A full list of all the artists with a link to their works can be found at the bottom of this page.

NOTE: Caudebec-en-Caux has recently merged (2016) with other towns nearby and is now called “Rives-en-Seine“. However, since the artists called the town by its original name in their paintings, we will continue to refer to the place by its old name.

William Callow (1812–1908) was an English landscape painter, engraver and water colourist. He was apprenticed to the artist Copley Fielding, where he learnt the technique of plein air sketching. He went on to study under Theodore and Thales Fielding, where he learnt to colour prints and make aquatints, and was taught watercolor painting between 1825-7.

In 1829 Thales Fielding found him work as an engraver in Paris, where he worked alongside his friend Charles Bentley. While in the French capital he was encouraged by Thomas Shotter Boys to take up watercolours again.

He travelled extensively in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Italy, had a large number of pupils, and enjoyed favour with the royal family.
