William Henry Hamilton Trood was a painter from Great Britain, who especially painted dogs or other animals. Besides, William Henry Hamilton Trood was also a famous sculptor of the Victorian era. He was born both mute and deaf and still managed to complete his education and become an artist. He spent most of his childhood playing with and watching dogs. By the age of four, he was already using his remarkable powers of observation to create his paintings of different dogs in various poses. William Henry Hamilton Trood even tried to hypnotize his dog so that he could paint a painting of the dog. However, his plan failed because the dogs' eyes did not look realistic. His works were regularly exhibited in England in different places. The career of William Henry Hamilton Trood got a boost from painting dogs because Queen Victoria had her dogs painted. The Queen had close to seventy paintings of her dogs at the time of her death and a great affection for dogs as pets. Therefore, having one's dogs painted was very appealing during this time and through this, William Henry Hamilton Trood was able to establish himself with his perfection, love and affection for painting dogs. He was one of the most famous and successful artists of his time due to his good sense of composition. The actor and apprentice Henry Lytton claimed that William Henry Hamilton Trood would have become a good actor if he had not been mute and deaf. In addition, it should be noted that the art industry at that time was not as pumped up compared to today. There were very few artists in that industry who could make painting a career. The works of William Henry Hamilton Trood were regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy. Among his most famous works are "Home Sweet Home," "The Old Man's Darling," and "A Coveted Bone." His paintings often have sentimental titles. Among the most popular works is "Cause and Effect," where little puppies are frightened by a burst bottle of soda water. In addition, William Henry Hamilton Trood was not only a popular animal painter, but he was also an Orientalist and traveled for many years throughout Africa and the Orient, collecting ancient armor and weapons. His deafness and muteness did not prevent William Henry Hamilton Trood from creating remarkable works. For many years William Henry Hamilton Trood worked in Chelsea and died of pneumonia in Tauton at the age of 39.
