Joseph Tudor

Joseph Tudor (1695–1759) was an Irish landscape artist active during the 18th century working primarily in Dublin.

Tudor took influence from earlier landscape artists such as Willem Van der Hagen.

Among his most notable works included topographical prints and drawings of Irish buildings.

He is likely the son of Thomas Tudor and was baptised at the Church of St. Nicholas Within, Dublin on 22 September 1695. He is recorded living on Dame Street opposite Fownes Court.

He was highly regarded in his day and was awarded premiums by the Dublin Society every year from 1740 to 1746. His fame even garnered him a mention in Faulkner's Dublin Journal in 1745 and on later occasions.

It is likely that Tudor had a daughter as Madden's premium of £5 to any boy or girl under 15 from the Dublin Society in 1746 was awarded to a Jenny Tudor for her drawings in black and white after Raphael and Titian.
