Joy, Thomas Musgrave
(b Boughton-Monchelsea, Kent, 9 July 1812; d London, 7 April 1866). English painter. He came from a landed family and was allowed to indulge his youthful artistic interests. He studied under Samuel Drummond (1763–1844) in London. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1831 and continued to do so nearly every year until his death. One of Joy’s earliest portraits was of William Ramsay Maule, Lord Panmure (exh. RA 1838; untraced). Panmure (1771–1852) encouraged Joy to study in France and later placed his protégé John Phillip with him as a pupil. He gave Joy some of his earliest important commissions, portraits of the maritime heroes William Darling and Grace Darling and the Wreck of the Forfarshire (all c. 1840; on loan to Dundee, McManus Gals). Between 1841 and 1843 Joy gained the patronage of Queen Victoria and painted two infant double portraits of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, and Victoria, Princess Royal (Windsor Castle, Berks, Royal Col.).
