Biografija

Rođen je u obitelji umjetnika, a njegove sestre Jane i Anna Maria poznate su britanske spisateljice. Studirao je na britanskoj kraljevskoj akademiji u Londonu na kojoj je 1793. godine nagrađen na temelju slike Vještica iz Endora, a posebno se proslavio panoramama i slikama s motivima slavnih britanskih bitaka. Godine 1804. emigrira u Rusko Carstvo gdje ubrzo postaje jedan od osobnih slikara cara Aleksandra I.. Sredinom 1800-ih godina putovao je Švedskom gdje se susreo s kraljem Gustavom IV. Adolfom koji ga imenuje vitezom, a potom 1808. godine na poziv britanskog generala Sir Johna Moorea odlazi u Španjolsku gdje je svojim radovima ovjekovječio bitke Napoleonskih ratova kod Benaventea, Sahagúna i A Coruñe. U 1811. vratio se u Rusiju gdje se ženi ruskom princezom s kojom je imao kćer Mariju. Krajem 1810-ih godina proputovao je Kavkaz, Osmansko Carstvo, kadžarski Iran (Perziju) i Mezopotamiju o kojima je objavio slavan putopis koji uključuje opise Salmasa, Teherana, Taht-e Sulejmana, Perzepolisa i ahemenidskog klinopisa. Primio ga je i sam iranski vladar Fateh Ali-šah od kojeg je primio odlikovanje „Lava i Sunca”. Godine 1826. imenovan je britanskim veleposlanikom u Caracasu gdje je napravio portret slavnog vojskovođe i državnika Simóna Bolívara. Iz Južne Amerike vraća se 1841. godine, prvo u rodnu Britaniju, a potom u Rusiju gdje godinu dana kasnije umire od moždanog udara. Sahranjen je u Sankt Peterburgu.
