Daniel Coppin

Coppin was one of several artists who were responsible for the creation of the transparencies for the Norwich celebrations of the British victory in Battle of the Nile in 1798 and declaration of peace in 1801.

[6] The following year he accompanied Crome and the dealer William Barnes Freeman on a visit to Paris to view the treasures of the Louvre, possible now that the Napoleonic Wars in Europe were at an end.

During the visit Crome made sketches and bought works produced by French artists, which the group managed to smuggle back to England.

[9] In 1820 he travelled to the Netherlands with his seventeen-year-old daughter Emily to view the depictions of still life produced by Dutch painters: the visit profoundly influenced her own artistic style.

[3] Coppin died in 1822, aged 51 and residing at St. Catherine's Plain, Norwich, and was buried on 23 October 1822 in the churchyard of St. Stephen's, in the city.
