Description: | Shayer's work typifies English rural life in the first half of the 19th Century and frequently depicts Hampshire and the New Forest. As a famous painter of landscapes and coastal scenes, his initial training as a coach painter provided him with a thorough technical grounding. He used skilful glazing techniques, which give his works great depth and luminosity. Shayer was prolific through necessity, having 10 children before he fully established as an artist.
