Henry Brocas was a Dublin-based watercolourist and illustrator, influential in the development of nineteenth century landscape painting in Ireland. He was appointed in 1801 as Master of Landscape and Ornament at the RDS School where he taught - among others - Sir Frederick William Burton. Brocas contributed many engravings of landscapes, portraits, and political caricatures to magazines and periodicals of his day. All four of his sons also went on to become professional artists, giving the Brocas family a long association with the RDS School - his youngest son Henry Brocas Junior (1798-1873) succeeding him in 1838 in his teaching post where he stayed until retirement in 1854 - the RHA and the Society of Irish Artists (where the third son, William, was President). |
