The British painter Thomas Sidney Cooper received a nickname that was unusual for an artist: Cow-Cooper. On the one hand this was a reflex to the painter's favourite object, on the other hand the nickname is an indication of the painter's fame and the popularity of his genre painting. Cooper was by far the most successful British animal painter with a penchant for portraying cattle and sheep.
Cooper is one of those British artists of the 19th century whose career was not born into the cradle. He had to work hard for his success and held on to his vocation despite adversity. Cooper began his professional life as a carriage painter at the age of 12. This did not mean for the young man that he made artistic representations of vehicles. He was busy painting carriages with weather protection paint. Cooper kept the paint brush in his hand for the rest of his life, but after his apprenticeship he earned his living as a stage painter, among other things. Cooper continued his self-study by copying exhibits from the British Museum as models with pencil and brush. These sketches strengthened his desire to make painting his profession. He took up art studies at the Royal Academy of Arts. After graduating, Cooper made a living by selling his works and teaching drawing lessons. He maintained both with growing success until his death. After first exhibitions at the Royal Academy of Arts Cooper established himself as a respected and popular artist. In his home town he established his own drawing academy, the Canterbury Sidney Cooper School of Arts.
Cooper's painting style developed on the one hand from his studies and copies of the works in the British Museum, on the other hand they were the product of an intensive study of the Dutch School of the 17th century. Between 1827 and 1830 Cooper spent three years in Brussels, where he studied the techniques of the Dutch masters with Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven. Rembrandt van Rijn and Peter Paul Rubens fascinated the English autodidact. Accordingly, the resumption of classical techniques was an important part of Cooper's success in Victorian England.
