Biography: Painter of genre, architectural subjects,
industrial scenes, marines and
figures, in
oil and water-colour. Also masterful
etcher
and lithographer. Born on 13th
May 1867 in
Bruges, Belgium, the son of a
Welsh architect.
Received his early art training
from his
father but no formal study. Then
worked for
three years in the Oxford Street
workshops
of William Morris 1882-84 when
he was engaged
in making facsimilies of Flemish
tapestries.
The Morris period was interspersed
with foreign
travel and after leaving Morris
his love
of the sea led him to further
visits abroad.
He stayed for a time in Sandwich,
Kent, where
he had to sell his marine drawings
for small
sums in order to live. Began
exhibiting at
the R.A. in 1885. At this time
he visited
North Africa and the countries
around the
Black Sea. Later to Russia, Spain,
Italy,
France, South Africa, Malaya
and Japan. From
1890 onwards he achieved quick
success, receiving
the gold medal at the Chicago
Exhibition
for the Convict Ship. He had an international reputation both
as a painter and etcher, and
was honoured
by many foregin academies. In
1924 a restrospective
exhibition of his work was opened
at Queen's
Gate by the Prime Minister of
the day, Ramsay
MacDonald. One-quarter of his
total output
was shown and the exhibition
was an enormous
triumph. Elected R.E. 1904, A.R.A.
1904 and
R.A. 1919. Knighted 1941. Died
on 11th June
1956 at his home in Ditchling,
Sussex.
