Description

Watercolour and pencil. Born in Norwich, he became friendly with John Berney Crome at school and was apprenticed to his father the landscape artist John Crome for three years from 1811. In 1814 he moved to London and exhibited at the Royal Academy, Norwich Society of Artists and British Institution. Ill health forced him to return to Norwich where he painted a series of views of Norfolk rivers but he returned to London in 1830 living in Chelsea and then Windsor. A pencil drawing by Stark of Folkestone in the Castle Museum, Norwich, is dated 11th October 1834. It shows how undeveloped Folkestone was until the advent of the railway in 1843. Undated views by Stark of Deal Castle, Dover, Broadstairs, Maidstone and Hastings are also in the Castle Museum, Norwich.
