__NOTOC__ Henry Woods (22 April 1846 – 27 October 1921) was an English painter and illustrator, and one of the leading Neo-Venetian school artists.〔(Liverpool Museums ). Retrieved 7 April 2013〕 ==Early life == Henry Woods was born to a middle-class family at Warrington. His father, William, was a pawnbroker and for some time a town councillor; his mother, Fanny, a shopkeeper. He was the eldest of nine siblings.〔Fildes 1968, p. 4.〕〔1861 census Warrington, 17 Mersey Street. RG 9/2791 folio 92 p. 32〕 Woods studied at Warrington School where he received a Department of Science and Art bronze medal, and a scholarship to study at South Kensington School of Art, moving to London in 1865 with his fellow art student Luke Fildes: "the two became each other’s greatest friend and artistic confidant for life."〔〔(Luke Fildes, Spartacus Educational ). Retrieved 7 April 2013〕 In 1869 both Woods and Fildes became illustrators for ''The Graphic'' newspaper, and became associated with artists John Everett Millais, Hubert von Herkomer and Frank Holl. The same year Woods began exhibiting at Royal Academy exhibitions – his style influenced by Carl van Haanen and Eugene de Blaas – and continued to do so until his death.〔〔(Henry Woods (1846 - 1921), Rehs Galleries, Inc. ). Retrieved 7 April 2013〕 By 1871 Woods and Luke Fildes were lodging together in Finsbury, London, and later at 22 King Henry’s Road, Haverstock Hill, where each had a studio. Both were part of an outdoor landscape sketching circle that included Marcus Stone and Charles Edward Perugini. In 1874 Woods became brother-in-law to Fildes through the marriage of Fildes to his sister, Fanny, also an artist.〔〔〔Fildes 1968, pp. 4, 19, 56.〕〔(Sir Samuel Luke Fildes, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea ).
