Painter of river and coastal scenes in oil and watercolour. Son of George Cooke, an engraver. Because of his detailed knowledge of ships and their rigging, Cooke was employed by Clarkson Stanfield (q.v.) to make studies of details of ships for him. Under Stanfield’s influence, he took up painting in oil, and travelled in France, Scandinavia, Holland and Egypt. |
