Career

James Arthur O'Connor was born in Dublin – the son of an engraver and printer, William O'Connor."Hutchinson", p. 83.] O'Connor would become a distinguished landscape painter. He was self-taught, receiving just a few lessons from William Sadler. He travelled to London with Francis Danby and George Petrie, exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1822. O'Connor visited France, Belgium, Holland, and the Rhineland, where he would become a friend of Caspar David Friedrich. He died poor, in Brompton, London, 7 January, 1841.
