Henry A Churchill

Henry A Churchill is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Henry A. Churchill wasn’t a career artist, he was a British soldier who sketched the Crimean War to pass the time between battles. His drawings feel raw because they were done on the spot, not polished back home; one shows a makeshift chapel in a ruined mosque, where British and Ottoman soldiers huddled together. Flip to his Sketches from the Campaign of 1854-55 if you want to see war through the eyes of someone holding a pencil, not a rifle.
