Biography. Thomas Sidney Cooper was an English painter noted for his fine detailed images of cattle and sheep in extensive pastoral landscapes. He was born at Canterbury in Kent and from a small child showed strong artistic inclinations. At the age of twelve he was working in the shop of a coach painter and later in his youth he worked as a scene painter. He left for London and drew extensively in the British Museum, then entering the Royal Academy Schools. He returned to Canterbury and took up teaching as a drawing master .In 1827 he settled in Brussels and married. It was here that he met the celebrated animal painter Eugene Joseph Verboeckhoven who had a large influence on his work. He left Brussels at the start of the revolution returning to London and exhibited his first painting at the Royal Academy in 1833. He went on to paint numerous works largely on the same theme, his 266 R.A. exhibits shown without a break until 1902. After about 1870 his commissions were constant and very lucrative making him a wealthy man and in consequence a generous benefactor to the city of Canterbury. Between 1847 and 1870 Cooper collaborated on a number of works with the landscape painter Frederick Richard Lee R.A., Cooper adding animals to complete the scene. His studio sale at Christies lasted three days! 62
