John Mulcaster Carrick

John Mulcaster Carrick (1833 – 22 September 1896) was an English Victorian painter, etcher, and illustrator. He painted mostly landscapes and genre subjects, in a loosely Pre-Raphaelite style.

Life Carrick was born in Carlisle in 1833 and baptised on 9 April. He took his surname from his father, Thomas Heathfield Carrick and his middle name from his mothers born name. His father was a chemist at the time, but he went on to be an artist in Newcastle in 1836 and is presumed to have trained his son. By 1839 the whole family were in London where Carrick was to remain for most of his life painting mostly landscapes.

He exhibited a study at the British Institution and a view of Borrowdale at the Royal Academy in 1854 and two more in 1855 and in 1856 the influential critic John Ruskin commented on "The Village Postman".

Carrick died in his home in Chiswick at the age of 63. He has paintings in public collections in Glasgow and Dumfries and Galloway.
