I have always loved landscape art and even as a child when I used to draw and paint all the time, it has always been my favourite subject to paint. As a traditional realism landscape artist and plein air painter I am drawn to colourful, vibrant but natural looking landscape paintings and many of my inspirations come from historical painters, particularly from the 19th century.

In this blog post I have compiled a list and examples of ten of my favourite historical painters which really inspire me and have influenced my own art works. I hope these historical painters give you lots of inspiration you too.
