Joshua Cristall was born in 1767 at Camborne Cambourne in Cornwall . His father was Scotch, and was bitterly opposed to his son s artistic tastes, but his mother secretly aided him in his struggles to study art. He was first apprenticed to a china dealer at Rotherhithe , but, finding that business too irksome, he left both his master and his home, and went to the Staffordshire Potteries Potteries , where he found some employment as a china painter. Finding this too monotonous, he came to London, and commenced a life of great privations and hard efforts to study the fine arts. It is said that at this period of his life he seriously injured his health by trying to live for a year on nothing else but potatoes and water. Aided in secret by his mother, who shared in and had herself directed his taste for classic art, he persevered in his endeavours, and finally gained admission to the school of the Royal Academy , where he made rapid progress. He became personally known to Thomas Monro Dr. Monro , and visited at his house, where he met the rising water colour artists of that day. At the foundation of the Royal Watercolour Society Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1805, he first publicly exhibited his works, and continued to do so for many years. He was one of the foundation members of this society, and afterwards became its President, and was always its warm and active supporter. In 1822, finding his health much impaired, Cristall went to Goodrich, Herefordshire Goodrich on the Wye , where he had already bought a house, and where he spent many happy years until the loss of his wife, who died in 1840, drove him again to London, where he died in 1847. His body was carried to Goodrich, and buried by the side of his wife, at his own earnest request. Cristall s usual subjects in his early years were classical figures with landscapes, such as his Lycidas, Judgment of Paris, Hylas and the Nymphs, and Diana and Endymion, but he afterwards produced genre subjects and rustic ... more details
