Paul Sandby (1731 ndash; 1809) was an English map-maker turned landscape painter in watercolors; who; along with his older brother Thomas; became one of the founding members of the Royal Academy in 1768. Gainsborough singled him out as the only contemporary English landscape artist: "If one wanted "real Views from Nature in this Country"; declared Gainsborough in 1764; "there was no better artist than Sandby; who frequently employd his pencil that way."Sandby was described in his obituaries as "the father of modern landscape painting in watercolors"
