David Payne (artist)

Payne moved to Derby in 1869 and was recorded as living at several places in the county of Derbyshire in the 1880s including Duffield and Barrow upon Trent.

Payne was a student of George Turner "Derbyshire's John Constable") who also lived in Barrow upon Trent.

In 1891, Queen Victoria visited Derby to lay the foundation stone of the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary and to knight Sir Alfred Haslam.

[4] The scene in the market place where hundreds of people, soldiers, horses and bunting turned out to meet Queen Victoria was captured by Payne.

Today Payne has paintings in several British institutions including Derby Museum, the Defence Academy and Southampton City Art Gallery.
