 Edward Armitage, R.A., born 1817, studied in Paris,
where he was a pupil of Paul Delaroche. He gained a
first-class prize in the National Cartoon Exhibition of 1843,
by his ‘Landing of Julius Caesar in Britain,’ and another
prize at the Exhibition of 1845 by his cartoon, ‘The Spirit of
Religion.’ Two years later he was again a successful com-
petitor with his ‘ Battle of Meanee,’ in oil. He then went to
Rome, where he stayed two years, and subsequently visited
the seat of war in the Crimea, and on his return painted
‘The Battle of Inkermann’ and ‘The Cavalry Charge at
Balaclava.’ He was one of the artists selected to decorate
the Houses of Parliament, and painted two frescoes in
the Upper Waiting Hall. Subsequently he contributed
numerous Scriptural and Historical subjects to the
Academy (of which he was elected a member in 1872),

including ‘Julian, the Apostate,’ ‘Phryne,’ ‘Serf Emanci-
pation,’ ‘The Cities of the Plain,’ and ‘The Youth of St.
John the Baptist.’ His drawing is large and somewhat
hard, and his colouring is rather cold and thin; but in his
treatment of a subject he is dignified and Academic. H i ’ ’
