(John) Thomas Baines (27 November 1820 - 8 May 1875) was an English artist and explorer of British colonial southern Africa and Australia. Born in King's Lynn, Norfolk, Baines was apprenticed to a coach painter at an early age. When he was 22 he left England for South Africa aboard the "Olivia" (captained by a family friend William Roome) and worked for a while in Cape Town as a scenic and portrait artist, and as official war artist during the so-called Eighth Frontier War for the British Army.   Related Paintings of John Thomas Baines :. | Assumption of the Virgin (nn03) | In the field of small road | The Pandreitje in Bruges dg | Forest Scene | Isabella and the Pot of Basil |
