Artist

Robert Thorne Waite

Robert Thorne Waite is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Robert Thorne Waite painted lively watercolours in the 1860s. His What's O'clock? shows a bustling Victorian street scene, all hats and umbrellas, with sharp light and quick brushwork. Waite’s work sits in that in-between moment when watercolour stopped feeling like a sketch tool and started feeling like a finished picture, loose but deliberate. Tap What's O'clock? to step into the gaslit crowd.
