About Theodore Lane
Lived 1800 – 1828. Theodore Lane was a painter.
Theodore Lane (c. 1800–1828) was an English painter and engraver.
Life Lane was the son of a poor drawing-master from Worcester. At 14 he was apprenticed in London to John Barrow of Weston Place, St. Pancras, an artist and colourer of prints.
Lane first came into notice as a painter of water-colour portraits and miniatures. About 1825 he took up oil painting. He was left-handed, but with the help of Alexander George Fraser became proficient. His picture Mathematical Abstraction, which he left unfinished, was completed by Fraser, and purchased by John Rushout, 2nd Baron Northwick; it also was engraved by Graves.
In 1831 Pierce Egan published The Show Folks, illustrated with woodcuts designed by Lane. It was accompanied by a memoir of him.
