Thomas Sunderland
1744 - 1828

Thomas Sunderland was born in Wittington Hall, near Kirkby Lonsdale, to a mining family. He became the owner of an iron
ore foundry at Furness and retired to "Littlecroft", a house at Ulverston, in 1782.
He was a prolific amateur artist, best known for his landscapes, but also for copies after other artists.
It is considered that he was a pupil of John Robert Cozens and Joseph Farington.
His work is represented in the Government Art Collection and also the British Museum, Tate, V&A and Abbot Hall in Kendal.
