Richard Short (artist)

Richard Short (29 Dec 1841, St Ives, Cornwall – December 16, 1919) was a Cornish artist.

His grandfather, John Tregerthen Short, was a master mariner who had also started his own Navigation School in St Ives.

Richard later moved to Cardiff. In 1900 he published a historical novel, Saronia: A Romance of Ancient Ephesus.[1][2] However by 1901 he had established himself as an artist, specialising in maritime scenes. His works include scenes of Penarth, Cardiff, the Bosphoros and Corsica.

The Museum of Wales holds five works by Richard Short.[3]
