{"title":"Hulme, Frederick William (1816–1884)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrederick William Hulme (1816–1884) was born in Swinton in Yorkshire. His mother was a porcelain painter and it was from her that he received his first lessons. He first exhibited landscapes at the Birmingham Academy in 1841.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1844 Hulme moved to London where he became an illustrator and engraver. However, he soon tired of this and began painting landscapes again. By 1852 he was living in Hereford Square and he began exhibiting his work at the Royal Academy and the British Institute. His paintings were mostly pastoral subjects which captured the nostalgia for country life during the increasing urbanisation of the 19th century. Hulme is particularly known for his rustic views in Surrey and Bettws-y-Coed, Wales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHulme exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1852 to 1884, the British Institution from 1845 to 1862, the Royal Manchester Institution and other smaller galleries. The brightness and precision of his landscapes have been compared to those of William Shayer and Thomas Creswick.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"frederick-william-hulme-farmstead-barns-mid-19th-century-watercolour-painting-jw-176","title":"Frederick William Hulme, Farmstead Barns – mid-19th-century watercolour painting","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn original mid-19th-century watercolour painting, Frederick William Hulme, Farmstead Barns with Peasant Woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA beautiful watercolour by landscape painter and illustrator Frederick William Hulme (1816–1884).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rustic subject exemplifies the nostalgia that was felt for country life during the increasing urbanisation of the 19th century.
