English artist, born in London in 1820. He studied for two years at the Royal Academy, and in 1840 went to Munich, where he studied drawing. After his return to England, in 1843, he devoted himself to oil-painting, and later to water-color. Among his best works may be named Alfred Giving His Last Loaf to the Pilgrims; Petrarch’s First Sight of Laura; The Heir Cast Out of the Vineyard, in oil; The Lord of the Harvest; Morning; Dante and Beatrice, in water-color; and a cartoon of Westminster Hall; St. Augustine Preaching to the Saxons. He also wrote some works on art, and contributed the articles on Cornelius and on Encaustic Painting to this Encyclopædia.
