Lot Essay

Nicholl was born in Belfast, the son of a shoemaker and was apprenticed to a printer. In his twenties he acquired a wealthy patron, the politician and writer Sir James Emerson Tennent (1804-1869) who financed a two year stay in London from 1830 to 1832. Nicholl spent time copying Old Masters at the Dulwich Picture Gallery where his favourite artists were Cuyp, De Wint and Copley Fielding. J.M.W. Turner was also a major influence throughout his career. Nicholl returned to Ireland and spent time in Dublin exhibiting at the Royal Hibernian Academy, becoming an Associate in 1837 and a full member in 1860.
