Early life in Birmingham, 1783-1804

The birthplace of Cox, deritend, Birmingham, illustrates the Samuel line

Cox was born on April 29, 1783 in Birmingham, an industrial suburb of deritend, heath machine lane. His father was a blacksmith and tin Smith, in addition to providing components such as bayonets and barrels to the Birmingham gun trade. Cox's mother's daughter farmer and Miller grew up in the east of heath Birmingham. Early biographers recorded that "she has a better education than his father, and is an excellent woman's intellectual and personality power.". Cox initially expected to follow his father to the metal trade and take over his creation, but his lack of physical strength led his family to look for opportunities for him to develop his interest in art. It is said that when it became obvious for the first time, young Cox began to paint paper kites and recovered from a broken leg.

By the late 18th century, Birmingham had a well-developed online private school to teach painting, establish manufacturers of luxury metal goods to support the needs of the city, and also encourage the education of fine arts, as well as the cultivation of unique traditional landscape arts. Cox initially entered the College of Joseph barber on grand Charles Street, with the students including artist Charles barber and sculptor William Radclyffe The two will become important friends.

About 15 years old Cox was an apprentice painter in Birmingham, Albert Federer, who produced miniature paintings of portraits and paintings of top snuff bottles from his workshop in the 10 March northwest town. After Feidler, Cox's early biographer, left his apprenticeship record of suicide, but there is a report that Cox himself found the body of the owner, but this may be a mythical outlaw who was recorded in the March until his address in 1825. Cox got a job in the mid-1800s when William mccredy was an old theatre assistant in Birmingham, initially grinding colors and preparing live oil painters, but from 1801 he painted landscapes himself and in 1802 led his team assistant and was considered in the theatre's propaganda.

London, 1804 - 1814

In 1804, Cox was promised by the theatre manager to work for Philip Astley, and moved to London at bridge 16 to stay in London's Lambeth district. Although he was unable to work for Astley's amphitheater, it is likely that he has decided to try to establish himself as a professional artist, except for a small number of private servants who have paid attention to painting and displaying watercolor paintings in the next few years. Although Cox lives in London, His landlord's daughter married, and Mary GG and the couple moved to dalichi in 1808.

In 1805 he first came to Wales many times, Charles barber this year, his earliest date for watercolor painting came from. In his life, he made many sketching trips to home county, North Wales, Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Devon

Cox is often on display at the Royal College of art since 1805. His work never reached a high price, so he won his life mainly by painting masters. His first student, Colonel Hon. H. Windsor (future Earl of Plymouth) had him in 1808, and Cox continued to acquire several other nobles, entitled students. He also wrote several books, including: Ackerman's new painting book (1809); a series of progressive lessons (1811); on landscape painting (1813); and progressive courses in landscape (1816). The ninth and final edition of his series, progressive lessons, was published in 1845.

In 1810, he was elected president of the artist in the water of color. After his death in 1812, the associated artist, he was elected associate painter of the association in water color (old water color Society). He was elected a member of the society in 1813 and behaved annually (except in 1815 and 1817) until his death.

Hereford, 1814 - 1827

In the summer of 1813, Cox was appointed as a master painter at the Royal Military Academy in Sali, Surrey, but shortly after he resigned, he found little sympathy for the atmosphere of a military unit. Soon after, he applied to a newspaper advertisement for status as a master painter for the young lady jueche "school Hereford and moved to town with his family in the autumn of 1814. Professor Cox was at school on widemarsh street until 1819, and his large salary was £ 100 a year, which required only two days of work a week, allowing time for painting and private students.

Cox's reputation as a painter and a teacher has been established in the past few years, showing his elected member of the society's painter's color in water and his inclusion in aqua painting published by John Hassell in 1813, claiming that the current work "all the most recognized water color painters". The great depression, accompanied by the end of the Napoleonic War, caused a contraction in the art market, however, by 1814, Cox was desperately short of money, demanding payment from one of his student loans and even moving to Hereford. Despite its financial advantages and the adjacent landscape of North Wales and Wye Valley, Hereford's move marks the retreat of his career as a painter, who sent several working associations of annual exhibition painters to leave London in their first year of color in the water until 1823, when he would again contribute more than 20 pictures.
