The son of Thomas Burgess of the Maiden Lane Academy, he was a painter and art teacher. He showed at the Royal Academy between 1774 and 1811,[1] and also at the Society of Artists and the Free Society of Artists.[2] His exhibited works included portraits (some noted as drawings in the catalogues), drawings of animals, and landscapes, many of them of Welsh subjects. London addresses are given throughout his career: in Maiden Lane, Covent Garden; Kemp's Town Chelsea; Gloucester Street, Queen's Square; Great Maddox Street; Piccadilly; Michael's Grove, Brompton, and finally, from 1797, Sloane Square, Chelsea.[3]
He died in London in 1812, aged 63. His son, H. W. Burgess, was landscape painter to William IV.[1]
