Anthony Vandyke Copley Fielding was an English painter in water-colours. He was born about 1787 and died in 1855. He attracted attention at a young age by his water-colour landscapes, and for fourteen years before his death was president of the Society of Painters in Water-colours. His pictures are chiefly taken from English scenery, the various features of which, both in rich woodland and open plain, he has represented with great delicacy and truth, although latterly falling into mannerism and self-repetition. His oil-painting was not a success.

Vandyke brown is a deep brown pigment richer in colour than burnt umber, which was once derived from a natural peaty earth found in Germany, and was later prepared by the partial decomposition of beechwood bark or cork. Vandyke brown is a semi-transparent pigment used as both an artists' colour and in painting and decorating. An imitation Vandyke brown is commonly encountered made from ochre, iron oxide and lampblack.
