John Sell Cotman

You are probably aware that I don’t know much about Norwich painters, so here is another one.  Born in Norwich in 1782, the son of a silk merchant and lace dealer, Cotman was educated at the Norwich Grammar School. He was a leading figure in the Norwich School of Painters.  Towards the end of his life he suffered with depression.  Like a lot of painters, he became famous after his death.  If you would like to find out more then please select the following link:
