Joseph Bartholomew Kidd|1808|1889| Joseph Bartholomew Kidd (born 1808 died 1889), painter, born in 1808, perhaps at Edinburgh, was a pupil of the Rev. John Thomson of Duddingston. On the foundation of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1826 Kidd was elected one of the original associates, and became an academician in 1829. He practised painting at Edinburgh till about 1836, when he came to London, resigning his membership of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1838. He then settled as a teacher of drawing at Greenwich, where he lived until his death in May 1889, at the age of eighty-one. Kidd chiefly painted the scenery of his native country, and executed a few etchings of highland views. Some of his pictures were engraved. Not long before his death he painted a portrait of the queen for the Royal Hospital Schools, Greenwich. ^{[DNB 1][DNB 2][DNB 3] [1]}
