Thornton, John

John Thornton is one of those painters whose work has outlasted almost everything written about him, which makes a counted cross stitch chart a fitting way to keep it in front of people.

He is not a name the art histories say much about. No birth year, no death year, no settled account of where he trained or who he worked alongside has come down with the paintings. What remains is the work itself, and it has to speak for him. Collectors and stitchers find him the way most people find a quiet artist: through a single image that stops them, followed by the discovery that there is very little else to read.
