Biographical history
Marmaduke Matthews was born on August 29, 1837, in Barcheston, Warwickshire, England.
He was a landscape painter. He attended Cowley School, Oxford, England, where he studied watercolour painting under T. M. Richardson. He also studied art at London University, England. In 1860, he moved to Canada and settled in Toronto, Ontario. He was hired by the Canadian Pacific Railway to paint the Canadian prairies and the Rocky Mountains. He worked under William van Horne, then-president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and made several cross-country trips to Canada's west (1887, 1889, and 1892). He was one of the founders of the Ontario Society of Artists and the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. In Toronto, he is remembered as the creator of Wychwood Park in 1874. His works are part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Robert McLaughlin Gallery.
