William Percy (portrait artist)
William Percy (1820–1903)〔(Artfact.com )〕 was a portrait artist of Manchester, England.
Percy was a founder of the Manchester Academy of Art in 1845. As he wrote later:
First - to institute a class for the study of the antique and the living model - the want of which has been long felt by the students and artists of this town as an insuperable bar to professional advancement. Secondly - to collect a library for reference, comprising history, poetry, archeology, optics, anatomy, chemistry, as applied to colour, architecture, sculpture, painting and engraving.〔Hitchon, Gil and Pat, ''Sam Bough, RSA, the Rivers in Bohemia'', page 53, May 1998〕
In 1882, Percy's painting of poet Edwin Waugh was hung at the Manchester Art Gallery.〔(Waugh, Edwin, ''Lancashire Sketches - Edited, with a Preface and Introduction, by George Milner'', 1881, gerald-massey.org.uk )〕
At an exhibit of 51 of his portraits in 1885, The Manchester Literary Club remarked that, in his water colours of children, Percy was "almost without a rival among living painters."〔(Papers of the Manchester Literary Club, Volume 11, by Manchester Literary Club, 1885, page 432 )〕
