Charles Vacher

1818–1883 (age 65)

Biography

Charles Vacher captured the British countryside and continental scenes in delicate watercolours, becoming a regular exhibitor with the Society of Painters in Water Colours and earning praise for his serene handling of light.

His travels through Italy, France, and the British Isles informed a steady stream of views that brought distant landscapes into London drawing rooms and inspired younger artists to follow his gentle palette.
