Robert Ker Porter
Robert Ker Porter (1777–1842) was a Scottish artist, author, diplomat and traveller. Known today for his accounts of his travels in Spain, Portugal and Russia, he was one of the earliest panorama painters in Britain, was appointed historical painter to Tsar Alexander I of Russia and served as British consul in Venezuela.
==Early life==
Porter was born in Durham in 1777, one of the five children of William Porter, an army surgeon. His father died in 1779, and the following year his mother took him to Edinburgh, where he spent much of his early life.〔 He decided that he wanted to become a painter of battle scenes, and in 1790 his mother took him to see Benjamin West, who thought enough of his sketches to procure him admission as a student at the Royal Academy. In 1792 he received a silver palette from the Society of Arts for a drawing entitled ''The Witch of Endor''. In 1793 he was commissioned to paint an altarpiece for Shoreditch church; in 1794 he painted ''Christ allaying the Storm'' for the Roman Catholic chapel at Portsea, Portsmouth; and in 1798 ''St. John Preaching'' for St John's College, Cambridge.〔
