Richard Short (artist)

Richard Short (29 December 1841, St Ives, Cornwall – 16 December 1919) was a Cornish artist.

His grandfather, John Tregerthen Short, was a master mariner who had also started his own Navigation School in St Ives.

Richard later moved to Cardiff. In 1900 he published a historical novel, Saronia: A Romance of Ancient Ephesus.[1][2] However, by 1901 he had established himself as an artist, specialising in maritime scenes. His works include scenes of Penarth, Cardiff, the Bosphoros and Corsica.

Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales holds five works by Richard Short.[3]
