Samuel Hieronymus Grimm - Superb Original 18th Century Watercolour. Farleigh Castle, Somerset. Watercolour and pen and black ink. On laid paper, laid down on a larger sheet with a hand-painted border. Inscribed in pencil lower right. In fine condition.

Samuel Hieronymus Grimm (January 18, 1733 – April 14, 1794) was an 18th century Swiss topographical artist who worked in oils (until 1764), watercolours, and pen and ink media. Grimm was born in Burgdorf, in Switzerland, and studied under Johann Ludwig Aberli in Bern. He then travelled in France until 1768 before moving to England. There he produced etchings, pen and ink drawings, and watercolours.
Critics of his time remarked that Grimm was a \"man of genius\". He was adopted as a travelling companion of the Rev. Sir Richard Kaye who became Rector of Kirkby in Ashfield in 1765 - his role was to record \"anything curious\". In 1775 Grimm was known to be in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and by 1778 was working in London. Samuel died in Tavistock Street in London on 14 April 1794. He was buried at St Paul\'s church in Covent Garden.
Grimm\'s speciality was recording historical events in the kind of detail that might otherwise have gone unreported. For example, the British Library credits him with producing the only surviving scene of the coronation of Edward VI. The British Library possesses 2,662 drawings in twelve volumes by this artist, covering many of the counties of England and a further 886 watercolours, in seven volumes, dedicated to the county of Sussex.
Our collection comprises significant topographical views in various counties across England. They are executed in watercolour and pen and ink with great precision and charm. One is signed.
