Andrew MacCallum entered the South Kensington School of Art & Design in 1852 where he was taught by Richard Redgrave RA and John Rogers Herbert RA. Of all the great topographical painters to emerge during the period, either through the South Kensington System or the Royal Academy Schools, there was no finer draftsman than Andrew MacCallum. His specialty was woodland and his carefully observed and faithfully rendered depiction of individual tree species is second to none. Whether it is the beeches of Burnham or the oaks of the forests of Arden and Sherwood, MacCallum’s meticulous pictures represent some of the period’s finest examples of pure landscape painting.
Between 1849 and 1889 Andrew MacCallum exhibited 53 times at the Royal Academy as well as at the British Institution, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Grosvenor Gallery and the Dudley Gallery in London, and internally at the Paris Salon, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Today his paintings can be found in Tate Britain and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
