Peter Tillemans

Peter Tillemans was a Flemish painter who worked in England.

Arriving in England in 1708, he quickly established himself as a versatile painter, receiving commissions for portrait groups, historical subjects, theater sets, and decorative painting.

In the early 1720s, Tillemans had a successful career painting dogs, horses, and racing scenes and was one of the first artists to depict sporting scenes in England. He also specialized in country house views and panoramic landscapes with sporting events in the foreground. Along with John Wootton and James Seymour, Tillemans is believed to have been one of the founders of the English school of sports painting.

Some two hundred topographical drawings of Northamptonshire by the artist have also survived.

Tillemans was a member of the Rose and Crown Club.
