Cork born painter Frederick Calvert was mainly known as a landscape painter. He exhibited in London and at the British Institution and the Royal Society of British Artists from 1827-1844, having published a book entitled 'Less on Landscape Colouring, Shadowing and Pencilling' in the UK in the 1810s. In or after 1815 he appears to have gone to England, and in that year published four of his own drawings of "the Interior of Tintern Abbey" and a book, "Lessons on Landscape colouring, shadowing and
pencilling."
In 1822 he issued a series of lithographs, "The Forest Illustrated," and in 1830 thirty-nine plates of "Picturesque Views in Staffordshire and Shropshire." He also contributed some papers to the "Archaeological Journal."
