At Scoutton, John Crome, artist, 1812-1813, etching, John Crome is today viewed not only as a most accomplished painter of the famous Norwich School of artists but as a catalyst for the English etching revival of the 19th century. Mainly self-taught, Crome began his education by copying the old masters. It was here he first became acquainted with the landscape art of the 17th century Dutch school, and their art, particularly Ruisdael and Hobbema, proved a lifelong inspiration. Crome was a founding member and President of the Norwich Society of Artists (1803) and exhibited frequently at both the Royal Academy and the British Institution.
