John Terrick Williams (20 July 1860 - 20 July 1936) was better known as Terrick Williams. He was a British painter who was a member of the Royal Academy. During his lifetime, Williams became one of the most successful painters in London.
Williams was born on 20 July 1860 in Liverpool, England, the son of a businessman. He was educated at Kings College School, London and was expected by his father to continue in the family business. However, his determination to become an artist saw him move to Europe and study under Charles Verlat in Antwerp and later at the Académie Julian and Benjamin Constant, William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury in Paris.
Williams focussed on landscape and marine subjects and painted in oil, pastel and watercolour. He travelled extensively and his impressionistic, luminous paintings sought the transient effects of light and reflections in Venice, St Tropez, Paris, Brittany and St. Ives.
His work was regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1891 and he was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy on 18 November 1924. On 1 January 1933 he became a Senior Royal Academian. He died in his birthday in 1936 aged 76. After his death a memorial exhibition was held at the Fine Art Society in 1937.
