Archibald Thorburn BiographyEnglish Naturalist artistborn 1860 - died 1935 Archibald Thorburn was born in 1860, near Edinburgh, the fifth son of the miniaturist Robert Thorburn ARA. He is now acknowledged as one of the greatest artists of birdlife paintings of all time. |

It was perhaps from his father that he acquired the ability to create his minutely detailed paintings and he sketched from a very early age. Archibald Thorburn painted birds, animals and flowers but he specialized in the study of game birds, as he had a tremendous knowledge of ornithology. |

Thorburn received little formal artistic training but his career as a painter of
birds began in 1883, when he completed 144
plates for WF Swaysland’s Familiar Wild
Birds. However, his reputation was firmly
established by his contribution to Lord
Lilford’s magisterial survey Coloured
Figures of the Birds of the British Isles,
which was published between 1885 and 1898. Archibald Thorburn paintings created such an impact because he was one of the first British wildlife artists to paint and sketch in the open and from life, rather than in a studio and from stuffed samples. Although he moved to London in 1885, he continued to make sketching tours of Britain throughout his life. |

At the end of the 1890s Archibald Thorburn became disillusioned with the Academy and exhibited instead at A Baird Carter, in Jermyn Street. Thorburn was also sufficiently highly-regarded by his contemporaries to have been asked to paint Queen Victoria on three separate occasions. | |||||||
