Beilstein on the Moselle

William Callow was a landscape painter, watercolourist and engraver. He trained under the artist Copley Fielding, learning the method of outdoor or ‘plein air sketching’.
In 1831 he exhibited his work Richmond Hill at the Paris Salon and as a result he was offered a job of teaching painting to the family of King Louis Phillipe I of France.
He travelled extensively throughout Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands. His paintings were popular in England.
