Davidson Thomas
(active 1863–1903)

English painter of whom nothing is known regarding his place or date of birth, or of his early life and training. The earliest records of him date from 1863, when he began to exhibit works at the Royal Academy and at the Society of British Artists. He continued to contribute works regularly until 1903. Davidson concentrated on painting in the field most popular with his Victorian audience, that of ‘historical genre’. Many of his earlier works were developed around medieval settings and themes. In the final five years of the 19th century he concentrated on more recent history, devoting himself to episodes from the life of Admiral Lord Nelson.
