Arthur Glennie

Born in Surrey, Arthur Glennie was inducted into watercolour painting by Samuel Prout and later given further tuition by William Havell. Before being elected to the Society of Painters in Water-Colours in 1837, Glennie visited Rome and the Campagna and was entranced by the country and its Classical past, becoming renowned in particular for his watercolours capturing sun-baked temples, ancient piazzas, rural vistas and deep, cool lakes. He moved permanently to Rome in 1855, and after this, he only exhibited Italian subjects. Eventually, in 1858, he was elected a full member of the Society.
