Thomas Gambier Parry, J.P., D.L., (22 February 1816 – 28 September 1888) was a British artist and art collector.[1] He is best remembered for his development of the Gambier Parry process of fresco painting, and for forming the significant collection of early Italian paintings and objects that his heirs gave to the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, where many are displayed in the Courtauld Gallery.
Thomas Gambier Parry is the father of composer Hubert Parry.
- ^ The treatment of his surname can only be called inconsistent, but "Gambier Parry" seems to be treated as an unhyphenated surname in most modern sources, though the names of his parents and eldest son (Parry the composer), as well as early reference works such as the DNB, suggest this is incorrect. His grandsons used a hyphenated "Gambier-Parry" as surname.
