Henry Gastineau

Henry Gastineau (1791–1876) was an English engraver and prolific painter in water-colours.

He was a student at the Royal Academy, and began as an engraver, but switched to painting in oils.

[1] A contemporary of David Cox, Copley Fielding, George Cattermole, and Samuel Prout, he kept to the old manner of water-colour painting.

Gastineau also devoted a great deal of his time to teaching, both privately and at various schools.

Early in life he built for himself a house, Norfolk Lodge, in Cold Harbour Lane, Camberwell, and lived there until his death on 17 January 1876 in his eighty-sixth year.
