Edward John Cobbett (1815–1899) was an English watercolour and oil painter.
Cobbett was born in Marylebone, London, in 1815. [1] [2] [nb 1] He was a member of the Savage Club in his younger days, "when Bohemianism and exclusiveness were the purport of all its rules". [3] He had a "considerable circle of artistic friends ... he was to the last generation of artistic Bohemians well known". [4] In 1971 and 1881 he was living at 20 Oakley Square, St Pancras, London, with his wife Mary Anne née Haynes and four daughters including Theodosia Mary Ann Cobbett (born 1841), [nb 2] Phoebe Maria Cobbett (born 1849), [nb 3] Edith Haynes Cobbett (born 1856), [nb 4] and Gertrude Winifred Cobbett (born 1862). [nb 5] [5] He described himself as an "artist, figure and landscape". [nb 6]
His daughter Gertrude Winifred married Gerald Aubrey Goodman in 1885. [5]
Cobbet moved to Surrey, [2] retired in 1885, and died aged 84 at Avondale, Winchmore Hill, North London on 11 October 1899. [2] [6] [7] He is buried in a family grave on the western side of Highgate Cemetery.
Cobbett was originally a wood carver, and at the time of his death in 1899, some of his carving could still be seen in the choir of York Minster. [3] However when he was twenty years old he became a painter. [3]
Cobbet was a pupil of Joseph William Allen. [2] [1] "He quickly made a name for himself as one of the chief exponents of the rustic school of painting which had a great vogue from about the middle of the century to the early 'eighties". [3] He worked in London and Addlestone, Surrey. [8]
Cobbett was known for idyllic rustic scenes and depictions of children. [9]
Cobbett exhibited at the British Institution, [1] the Royal Academy from 1833 to 1880 (including "over thirty consecutive years"), [3] the Suffolk Street Gallery and the Society of British Artists, [2] particularly on landscape and flower subjects. [1] [10]
