Thomas William Marshall was an English Post-Impressionist painter and water colorist, born on (1875-10-17)October 17, 1875 at Donisthorpe in England.
He painted landscapes, portraits, nudes[1] and produced watercolours, in Paris, in Île-de-France, in Normandy, on the French Riviera and in Corsica.
He was the son of Robert Aldred Marshall (1852-1884) a wealthy mining engineer from Nottinghamshire who died in the Bullhouse Bridge rail accident,[2] and Dorothy Ann Tarr (1852–1879).
[9] Due to his fragile health, he left for the Côte d'Azur and settled in Corse in 1908, where he produced a large part of his body of work (oil on canvas or on cardboard, watercolours and caricatures).
He transferred works he had created in Corsica onto canvas:landscapes and scenes inspired by daily life on the island back to Paris for exhibition.
Recognized by Jacques Foucart, general curator at the Paintings Department of the Musée du Louvre, the pictorial work of the English painter Thomas William Marshall, is both inspired by the last sparkling embers of the 19th century and by the end of Impressionism.
Composed of numerous oil paintings and watercolours, of rare quality, his work can be added to the Post-Impressionist and symboliste movements.
