Oswald Sickert
Oswald Adalbert Sickert (21 February 1828 – 11 November 1885) was a Danish artist. His landscape paintings are primarily of the dramatic genre, and his engravings are from the English school.
He was born in Altona, then in Denmark, the son of Johann Jürgen Sickert (1803–1864), who was also a painter and engraver.
He received his formal training from his father and at the Copenhagen Académie in Denmark from 1844 to 1846. In 1852, he traveled to Munich to complete his studies, and thereafter to Paris for six months together with Wilhelm Füssli, before moving permanently to London.
He left Munich to settle in England at the time of the Great Exhibition, Oswald's work having been recommended by Freiin Rebecca von Kreusser to Ralph Nicholson Wornum, who was Keeper of the National Gallery in London at the time.
He opened a studio in London and eventually became a British citizen. His successful career as an artist included exhibitions at the British Institute, Grosvenor Gallery and several other London galleries.
He married Eleanor Louisa Henry, the illegitimate daughter of the English astronomer Richard Sheepshanks (1794–1855).[citation needed]
He had five sons and one daughter.
None of his children produced grandchildren.
