Briton Rivière
Briton Rivière (14 August 1840 in London – 20 April 1920 in London)〔(Ann Lauren: Biography of Rivière )〕 was a British artist of Huguenot descent. He exhibited a variety of paintings at the Royal Academy, but devoted much of his life to animal paintings.
==Biography==
His father, William Rivière (1806–1876), was for some years drawing-master at Cheltenham College, and then an art teacher at the University of Oxford. He was educated at Cheltenham College and Oxford, where he took his degree in 1867. For his art training he was indebted almost entirely to his father.〔 His paternal uncle Henry Parsons Rivière (1811–1888) was also a noted watercolourist, exhibiting works at the Royal Watercolour Society, London and the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.
His first pictures appeared at the British Institution, and in 1857 he exhibited three works at the Royal Academy, but it was not until 1863 that he became a regular contributor to the Academy exhibitions. In that year he was represented by ''The eve of the Spanish Armada'', and in 1864 by a ''Romeo and Juliet''. However, subjects of this kind did not attract him long, for in 1865 he began, with ''Sleeping Deerhound'', a series of paintings of animal-subjects which occupied much of the rest of his life.〔 In a lengthy interview in ''Chums Boys Annual'', entitled "How I paint animals", Rivière explained some of the practicalities of painting both tame and wild animals:
Early in his career, Rivière made some mark as an illustrator, beginning with ''Punch magazine''. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy of Arts in 1878, and R.A. in 1881, and received the degree of Doctor of Civil Law at Oxford in 1891.〔 He was narrowly defeated in the election for President of the Royal Academy in 1896. His wife, Mary Alice Rivière (née Dobell; 1844–1931) who he married in 1867, was a painter and exhibited briefly at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1869–70. After his death she presented the British Museum with four of his drawings (and an etching ''The king drinks''), which complements the dozens of prints made after his work housed there, especially by Frederick Stacpoole and William Henry Simmons. The artist and his wife had seven children; five sons and two daughters. One of the sons, Hugh Goldwin Rivière (1869–1956), became a portraitist.
