Richard Thomas Underwood

Richard Thomas Underwood is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This watercolor artist painted quiet, detailed scenes of early English landmarks. He recorded Queen Eleanor’s Cross at Waltham Cross on January 14, 1793, a stone monument standing at a busy road junction. His brush traced the worn surfaces and simple geometry of a structure built centuries earlier.

You can step next to the same stone cross at Waltham Cross that still marks the spot today.
