Charles Edward Perugini (1 September 1839 – 22 December 1918), originally Carlo Perugini, was an Italian-born English painter of the Victorian era. ==Biography== Perugini was born in Naples, but lived with his family in England from the ages of six to 17. He trained in Italy under Giuseppe Bonolis and Giuseppe Mancinelli, and in Paris under Ary Scheffer. He became a protégé of Lord Leighton, who brought him back to England in 1863. Perugini may at first have worked as Leighton's studio assistant. Under Leighton's influence, he began as a painter of classical scenes; then "he turned to the more profitable pastures of portrait painting, and genre pictures of pretty women and children."〔Christopher Wood, ''Victorian Painting'', Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1999; p. 227.〕 In 1874, he married the youngest daughter of novelist Charles Dickens, who as Kate Perugini〔Lucinda Hawksley, ''Katey: The Life and Loves of Dickens's Artist Daughter'', New York: Doubleday, 2006.〕 pursued her own artistic career, sometimes collaborating with her husband. Perugini's 1878 picture ''A Girl Reading'', perhaps his best-known single work, is in the collection of the Manchester Art Gallery. It was bequeathed by James Thomas Blair in 1917. Perugini's portrait of Sophy Gray, the sister-in-law of Pre-Raphaelite painter Sir John Everett Millais, was for many years mistaken for a work by Millais himself. Perugini and his wife maintained an active social life in artistic circles of their era. He died in London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Edward Perugini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
