Joseph William Allen

Joseph William Allen

Joseph William Allen (1803 – 1852) was an English landscape painter. Born in Lambeth, he attended St Paul's School. Eleven of his pictures were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, and he was drawing-master at the City of London School from its opening in 1834. Three of his paintings were bought for the Royal Collection by Prince Albert, and on his death, his wife and children being left in poverty, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert contributed £25 towards their support.

One of his paintings, of Bath from Lyncombe Hill, hangs in the Building of Bath Museum. Two of his watercolours are in the Faringdon Collection (London), part of the Buscot Park collection. Others of his works are held by the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Tate, Eton, and the British Museum.
