John Wilson Carmichael

There are many well known artists associated with NE England, one of whom was John Wilson Carmichael, a landscape & maritime painter.   I first published a Carmichael painting on this blog a year ago, showing what eventually became the terminus of the Tanfield Branch.   Carmichael produced several railway scenes in NE England in the mid 19th century.

Victoria Viaduct over the River Wear

Corby Viaduct  on the Newcastle & Carlisle

Cowram Cut on the Newcastle & Carlisle

High Level Bridge

Interior of Newcastle Central, 1850 - a work in partnership with John Dobson

Ascension Day on the River Tyne
An engraving from A Journey Along the River Tyne Around 1830
(the first page of which shows Wear Bridges later in the 19th century!)

The Opening of Sunderland South Docks 1850 - showing typical nautical detail

Locally, there are Carmichael works owned & on display at Newcastle's Laing Art Gallery, & Sunderland Winter Gardens.
