In 1819 Holland, who was born in Staffordshire, moved to London where he began to paint landscapes and advertise himself as a drawing🎶 teacher. In 1831 he went abroad for the first time and while in Paris he fell under the spell of the work of the recently deceased Anglo-French painter, Richard Parkes Bonington (1802-1828). In 1835, the same year that he was elected Associate of the Old Water-Colour Society, Holland travelled to Venice. He would continue to be inspired by that great city for the remainder of his life.
