Sidney Richard Percy

(British, 1821–1886)

Sidney Richard Percy was a 19th-century British landscape painter. Rendered in Naturalist style, his Victorian landscapes often feature a central Thames River framed by meadows, mountains, and sparse foliage. Although Percy frequently included rural figures and animals in his compositions, his focus was on capturing the beauty and atmospheric presence of the empty countryside. He traveled extensively throughout the United Kingdom, drawing inspiration from locations in Wales, Yorkshire, and the Scottish Highlands, among others. Born in London, England on March 22, 1822, he was notably a member of the Barnes School family of artists, which included , George Augustus Williams, and Henry John Boddington. Percy rose to significant popularity despite receiving no formal training. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, and his work was collected by distinguished socialites including Queen Victoria herself. He later suffered an amputation from a horse-riding accident, and died in his home of Sutton, Surrey on April 13, 1886 at the age of 65.
