William Wyld was a watercolourist and printmaker. Met Bonington and Francia in Calais where he owned a wine business and travelled to Algiers in 1833, often painting alongside Horace Vernet. On his return he abandonned the wine trade to become a professional artist, working occasionally in oils but mainly in watercolours. Exhibited Salon de Paris 1839, and spent most of his career in France, where he was awarded the Legion of Honour in recognition for his development of watercolours. He retained his British nationality and also exhibited in London at the RA, BI and New W-C Society from1849-82, numbering Queen Victoria amongst his patrons. He also made lithographs from his watercolours. Died Paris.
A fine impression, on contemporary paper, very good condition. Mistakenly described as Naples on the British Museum website.
