James Atkinson (Persian scholar)
James Atkinson (17 March 1780 – 7 August 1852) was a surgeon, artist and Persian scholar - "''a Renaissance man among Anglo-Indians''" 〔p.185 The Raj, India and the British 1600-1947, various contributors edited by C. A. Bayly, Published by the National Portrait Gallery Publications 1990〕
== Early life ==
Atkinson was born in Darlington, County Durham, England, the son of a woolcomber. He showed at an early age a remarkable gift for languages and portraiture and was enabled by the kindness of a friend to study medicine 〔p.341 The History and Antiquities of the Parish of Darlington, in the Bishoprick, various contributors, published by Darlington & Stockton Times, 1854〕 at Edinburgh and London.〔Oxford Dictionary of National Biography〕 He first sailed to India in 1802 as Surgeon’s Mate on board a ship of the Honourable East India Company (HEIC). On his second trip in 1805 he was appointed Assistant Surgeon in the Bengal service of the HEIC and placed in medical charge of the station of Backergunj near Dacca 〔 in present day Bangaladesh.
It was whilst at Backergunj that he began his study of Persian and other oriental languages.〔 He became a close friend of Sir Charles D’Oyly who was the Collector of Dacca (1808–1812) and a keen amateur artist. George Chinnery stayed with D’Oyly during this period and both D’Oyly and Atkinson became his pupils becoming heavily influenced by his passion for painting Indian landscapes and village life.〔pp 149 and 224 The Raj, India and the British 1600-1947, various contributors edited by C.
