Thomas See also:Haden, being a well-known See also:doctor and See also:amateur of See also:music
.
He was educated at University See also:College school and University College, London, and also studied at the See also:Sorbonne, See also:Paris, where he took his degree in 1840
.
He was admitted as a member of the College of Surgeons in London in 1842
.
Besides his many-sided activities in the scientific See also:world, during a busy and distinguished career as a surgeon, he followed the See also:art of See also:original See also:etching with such vigour that he became not only the foremost See also:British exponent of that art but was the See also:principal cause of its revival in See also:England
.
By his strenuous efforts and perseverance, aided by the secretarial ability of See also:Sir W
.
R
.
See also:Drake, he founded the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers
.
As See also:president he ruled the destinies of that society with a strong See also:hand from its first beginnings in 1880
.
In 1843–1844, with his See also:friends See also:Duval, Le See also:Cannes and See also:Col

Guibout, he had travelled in See also:Italy and made his first sketches from nature
.
Haden attended no art school and had no art teachers, but in 1845, 1846, 1847 and 1848 he studied portfolios of prints belonging to an old second-hand dealer named Love, who had a See also:shop in Bunhill See also:Row, the old Quaker See also:quarter of London
.
These See also:port-folios he would carry See also:home, and arranging the prints in See also:chronological See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order, he studied the See also:works of the See also:great original engravers, See also:Durer, See also:Lucas See also:van See also:Leyden and See also:Rembrandt
.
These studies, besides influencing his original See also:work, led to his important mono-graph on the etched work of Rembrandt
.
By lecture and See also:book, and with the aid of the memorable See also:exhibition at the See also:Burlington See also:Fine Arts See also:Club in 1877, he endeavoured to give a just See also:idea of Rembrandt's work, separating the true from the false, and giving altogether a nobler idea of the See also:master's mind by taking away from the See also:list of his works many dull and unseemly plates that had See also:long been included in the lists
.
His reasons are founded upon the results of a study of the master's works in chronological order, and are clearly expressed in his monograph, The Etched Work of Rembrandt critically reconsidered, privately printed in 1877, and in The Etched Work of Rembrandt True and False (1895)
.
Notwithstanding all this study of the old masters of his art, Haden's own plates are perhaps more individual than any artist's, and are particularly noticeable for a fine original treatment of landscape subjects, See also:free and open in See also:line, clear and well divided in See also:mass, and full of a See also:noble and dignified See also:style of his own
.
Even when working from a picture his See also:personality dominates the See also:plate, as for example in the large plate he etched after J

During later years Haden began to practise the See also:sister art of See also:mezzotint See also:engraving, with a measure of the same success that he had already achieved in pure etching and in dry-point

Some of his mezzotints are: " An Early Riser," a See also:stag seen through the morning mists, " See also:Grayling Fishing " and " A See also:Salmon See also:Pool on the See also:Spey." He also produced some remarkable drawings of trees and park-like See also:country in See also:charcoal
