Sebastian Pether

Sebastian Pether (1790–1844) was an English landscape-painter.

Life

The eldest son of Abraham Pether, he was a pupil of his father, and followed him in subject matter. A large family meant he worked for dealers, for subsistence, and his works were not often exhibited. He died at Battersea on 14 March 1844, and a subscription was raised for his family.[1]

Works

River Scene (1840) by Sebastian Pether

In 1814 Pether sent to the Royal Academy View from Chelsea Bridge of the Destruction of Drury Lane Theatre, and in 1826 A Caravan overtaken by a Whirlwind, a commission from John Fleming Leicester. In 1842, three pictures which, with the help of a frame-maker, he sent to the Royal Academy, were rejected.[1]
