Charles Stuart F.S.A. (1838–1907) was an English landscape painter who was active from 1881 to 1904. ==Life and family== Charles Stuart was born in 1838 to William and Amelia Stuart, both artists. Other Stuart family members were also artists including his brother William who immigrated to Australia in 1859. In 1860, Stuart exhibited a work entitled ''Fair and Fruitful Italy (and J. M. Bowkett)'' at the Royal Society of British Artists.〔 The 'J. M. Bowkett' was the artist Jane Maria Bowkett, and two years later, after obtaining a special licence, the couple married at West Ham on 6 February, 1862, with their first child, Leila Imogene, born four months later.〔 The couple had six children but only Leila Imogene, Charles Edward Gordon, born 1865, and William Arthur, born 1869, survived infancy.〔 The Stuarts spent the early years of their marriage living with Charles' parents in Stepney and Gravesend before making their homes in South Kensington and Fulham Road, in the mid-1870s, and then moving to the fashionable Melbury Road, Holland Park, in 1880.〔 Around this time Stuart was nominated for the London gentlemen's club the Savage, and is depicted, with fellow members in a frontispiece illustration to a 1907 club history. Stuart was also a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. In 1903 Stuart had two paintings exhibited at the Royal Academy and an exhibition of 52 works was held at a private gallery in Bristol.〔 〕 Stuart's wife, Jane, died on 1 June 1891, and Stuart survived her by 16 years. He was buried with her at Kensal Green Cemetery.〔 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 Stuart (landscape painter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
