CRESWICK, THOMAS (1811-1869), English landscape painter, was born at Sheffield on Feb. 5, 1811, and educated at Hazelwood, near Birmingham. He was a pupil of J. Vincent Barker at Birmingham. In 1842 he was elected an associate, and in 185o a full member of the Royal Academy. English and Welsh streams formed his favourite subjects, and generally British rural scenery. Creswick was industrious and extremely prolific ; he produced, besides paintings, numerous illustrations for books. He died at his house in Bayswater, Linden Grove, on Dec. 28, 1869. Frith for figures, and Ansdell for animals, occasionally worked in collaboration with Creswick. In 1873 T. 0. Barlow, the en graver, published a catalogue of Creswick's works.
