DANIELL, THOMAS (17491840) ,
English
  landscape painter, was born at the Chertsey inn, kept by his father, in 1749, and apprenticed to an heraldic painter. Daniell, however, was animated with a love of the romantic and beautiful in architecture and nature. Up to 1784 he painted topographical subjects and flower pieces. By this time his two nephews (see below) had come under his influence, the younger, Samuel, being apprenticed to Medland the landscape engraver, and the elder, William, being under his own care. In this year (1784) he embarked for India accompanied by William, and found at Calcutta ample encouragement. Here he remained ten years, and on returning to London he published his largest
work
 , Oriental Scenery, in six large volumes, not completed till 18o8. From 1795 till 1828 he continued to exhibit Eastern subjects, temples, jungle hunts, &c., and at the same time continued the publication of illustrated works. These are Views of Calcutta; Oriental Scenery, 144 plates; Views in
Egypt
 ; Excavations at Ellora; Picturesque Voyage to China. These were for the most
part
  executed in aquatint. He was elected an Academician in 1799, fellow of the Royal Society about the same time, and at different times member of several
minor
 
societies
 . His nephews both died before him; his Indian period had made him independent, and he lived a
bachelor
 
life
  in much respect at Kensington till his death on the 19th of
March
  1840.
