Notes Samuel Prout (1783-1852) was a drawing master, topographical illustrator and watercolourist. Prout's work was considered to be exceptional, he depicted Gothic architecture with great precision. He was also able to show the mood of the buildings contrasted with highlights of figures which, for a generation, was widely copied. This was mainly due to Ruskin's report on him in Modern Painters, which described Prout as a substantial and sunny colourist.
