Philip John Bainbrigge was an officer, artist and surveyor in the British Army.[1] His father, Philip Bainbrigge, a veteran of the Peninsular War, had also been an artist and surveyor.[2][3][4][5]
He enrolled in the Royal Military College in 1830, where he learned military painting and military surveying.[1]

"Like many British officer- painters, Philip J. Bainbrigge received his artistic training at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. There, he was instructed in the proper use of perspective and in the handling of light and shade, and he employed these techniques with an ease and spontaneity well-suited to the principles of landscape painting. His rather individual style, while in accordance with the artistic trends of the time, resulted in watercolours that are quite distinctive."

"The author argues that, while Bainbrigge was part of the picturesque tradition and therefore engaged with picturesque imperialism while in Canada, his non-picturesque views are equally as engaged due to changes in professional art practice during this period. The author also examines Bainbrigge's influence within a circle of painters sometimes knows as the Group of 1838."
