English marine painter (1800-1868)
John Wilson Carmichael was an English painter who specialised in marine art and landscape painting. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne and later in London, he was a household name in his lifetime, and his work remains some of the most desirable in the marine art market. He was described by art historian Jeremy Maas as "a sea painter of great, though sometimes uneven, natural talent".
