| Born in Leeds, Marshall was a painter, watercolourist, engraver, and draughtsman. He was educated at Westminster School and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1864 with a second-class degree in the Natural Sciences Tripos. At Trinity, he was also a first-class cricketer. After graduating, he went to Paris to study architecture and entered the atelier of Charles-Auguste Questel, architect to the Château of Versailles. Upon returning from Paris in 1867, he became a student at the Royal Academy, and the following year he won the Travelling Studentship in architecture. Marshall's travels in Italy and constant sketching under the bright sun severely weakened his eyesight, forcing him to give up all work for two years, particularly architectural drawing. This setback led him to turn his attention to topographical watercolour painting, as it was less strenuous on the eyes. In 1871, he exhibited his first drawing at the Dudley Gallery and worked mainly in London. Marshall continued to exhibit regularly at the Fine Art Society, the Abbey Gallery, and the Leicester Galleries. His special aim was to capture the beauty and mystery of everyday life on the streets and rivers of London, seen under atmospheric effects unique to the city. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects, though he never practised architecture. Marshall was also elected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1879, becoming a full member in 1882, and was admitted to the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers in 1881. In 1889, he won a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, and in 1901 he was elected to the Royal Institute of Painters. In 1904, Marshall became Professor of Landscape Painting at Queen’s College. Marshall died at his residence in Earl’s Court. | ||||||||||
