George Thomas Doo (6 January 1800 – 13 November 1886) was an English engraver. ==Life== He was born near Christ Church in Southwark, London. His teacher was Charles Heath. In 1825 he went to Paris. There he studied in the ''atelier'' of Suisse, and also attended the school of Gros, according to Thompson Cooper; the ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' suggests his study under Charles-Alexandre Suisse might have been later. He acquired the techniques of drawing from the life, and passed them on to pupils in England.〔Thompson Cooper, ''Men of the Time: a dictionary of contemporaries, containing biographical notices of eminent characters of both sexes'' (1884) p. 348;(archive.org ).〕〔Clara Clement, ''Artists of the Nineteenth Century and Their Works: A Handbook Containing Two Thousand and Fifty Biographical Sketches'' Volume 1 (2010 reprint), p. 211; (Google Books ).〕 He took on William Duffield as a non-paying pupil, and William Thomas Roden was an apprentice. Another pupil was Thomas Leeming Grundy.〔 In 1836 Doo was made ''Engraver in Ordinary'' to William IV, and later to Queen Victoria. At this period he worked for Francis Moon.〔 Doo became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1851.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Library and Archive Catalogue )〕 He was made a Royal Academician in 1857.〔 Doo died in Sutton, Surrey.〔 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「George Thomas Doo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
