Definition of richard wilson in English English dictionary

{i} (1714-1782) Welsh painter of landscapes; (1920-1987) United States science fiction author

born Aug. 1, 1714, Penegoes, Montgomeryshire, Wales died May 15, 1782, Llanberis, Carnarvonshire Welsh landscape painter. He worked as a portraitist for many years, but after a lengthy stay in Italy (1750-57) he worked almost exclusively in landscape, except for numerous drawings of Roman sites and buildings that he used in composing Italianate landscapes. A set of drawings made for Lord Dartmouth (dated 1754) show that he tempered his delicate observation of light and distance with the discipline of such 17th-century Classicists as Nicolas Poussin. The landscapes he produced after his return to Britain influenced J.M.W. Turner and John Constable
