Extractions: Home Victorian Painters Sir Edward Poynter Drawings Edward Poynter was second only to Frederic Leighton as an exponent of Victorian neo-classicism. His training as an artist took place partly in Europe; he coincided with Leighton in Rome in 1853 and spent the years 1856-59 as a student at Gleyre's atelier in Paris. These semi-bohemian years were described by Poynter's comrade George du Maurier in his novel Trilby . In 1860 Poynter commenced upon a career in London which was to bring him much prestige and many honours. His great Royal Academy exhibition successes were mainly reconstructions of events or situations set in ancient history, attempts to give a visual account of the appearance of the Ancient World. The most famous of these are Israel in Egypt and The Catapult . A parallel group were his mythological subjects, In both types Poynter took great trouble to make the details of the paintings as archaeologically accurate as possible. Despite being only a few years younger than the generation of High Victorian artists Poynter long outlived his great contemporaries. He succeeded Millais as President of the Royal Academy in 1896 and then lived on into a very different age when his-most celebrated paintings were no longer appreciated or understood.

ARC ARTicles - Obituary Of Edward Poynter - Paul Ripley - Page 1/1 E REGRET TO ANNOUNCE THE DEATH OF sir edward poynter at his home at 70, sir edward John poynter, first baronet, President of the Royal Academy from 1896 http://www.artrenewal.org/articles/2002/Edward_Poynter/obituary1.asp
Extractions: Sir Edward John Poynter , first baronet, President of the Royal Academy from 1896 to 1918, and Director of the National Gallery from 1894 to 1905, was the son of Ambrose Poynter, an architect, well-known in his day as the designer, among many other buildings, of St Katherine's Hospital, Regents Park. On his mother's side he was the grandson of Thomas Banks , RA., a sculptor of eminence, whose funeral oration was pronounced by Flaxman. The young Poynter was of artistic descent on both sides, and though neither of his ancestors was a painter, his love for architectural backgrounds and for a sculpturesque treatment of form may perhaps be traced to those inherited influences.
Extractions: Son of painter Ambrose, Sir Edward Poynter initially studied in Italy from 1853 to 1854 where he was inspired by Michelangelos work. Then from 1856 to 1859, he was in Paris studying under Gleyre. He became known with his painting, Israel in Egypt and continued to gain fame thereafter as a history painter. Later in his career, his paintings decreased in scale and began working in administration. From 1871 to 1875, Poynter was the first Slade professor at University College in London. From 1894 to 1904, he was the director of the National Gallery and from 1896 to 1918 he was president of the Royal Academy.

Extractions: The Catapult , from an engraving of 1896 E. J. Poynter, last of the great Victorian Classical painters , was born in Paris, his father Ambrose Poynter being an architect and landscape painter. He studied under W. C. T. Dobson, afterwards at the RA Schools, and then returned to Paris, working under Charles Gleyre at the same time as Alma Tadema , Whistler and Du Maurier. He was very much part of the British establishment thereafter, becoming ARA in 1868, first Slade Professor of University College London 1871-5, RA in 1877 and Director of the National Gallery 1894-1904. In 1896, Poynter was elected President of the Royal Academy , narrowly beating Briton Riviere to the post, and he seems to have got the job because of his very wide teaching, lecturing and administrative experience and depth of scholarship. Poynter's term as PRA came after Millais 's brief occupation of the post, and follows rather from his predecessor Leighton , who was PRA for nearly two decades. It had been Leighton who, in 1854, originally persuaded Poynter, then painting only landscapes, to turn to figure studies, and he helped the younger man with drapery studies. Like Leighton, Poynter studied abroad, trained as an academic artist, and was a superior draughtsman, technically masterful, working on largely ideal Greek-style pictures. Again like Leighton, Poynter was enormously influential, though in his case it was because of his large number of official positions and teaching posts. He was created a baronet in 1902 - only Leighton was made a Lord for being PRA.

His reputation was made with the huge Israel in Egypt (1867, Guildhall AG, London) and he became one of the most popular painters of the day with similar elaborate historical tableaux in which he displayed his great prowess as a draughtsman ( The Catapult , 1868, Laing AG, Newcastle upon Tyne). In the latter part of his career, however, he confined himself to much smaller works, similar to Alma-Tadema's classical genre scenes, as he devoted himself much more to administration; he was first
