About the artist
Hubert Cornish was a lawyer from Devon, who also became an accomplished painter of landscapes in watercolour. Most of his work was inspired by rural and coastal scenes in Devon. Cornish travelled through England and Wales and painted landscapes in Somerset, Denbighshire (north-east Wales) and the Lake District. He may be the Hubert Cornish who died at about the age of 55 at his seat at Black Hall, in Devon, in 1832.
