English Golden Age Illustrator, 1845-1915 English painter, illustrator, designer, writer and teacher. He showed artistic inclinations as a boy and was encouraged to draw by his father, the portrait painter and miniaturist Thomas Crane (1808-59). A series of illustrations to Tennyson's The Lady of Shalott (Cambridge, MA, Harvard U., Houghton Lib.) was shown first to Ruskin, who praised the use of colour, and then to the engraver William James Linton, to whom Crane was apprenticed in 1859. From 1859 to 1862 Crane learnt a technique of exact and economical draughtsmanship on woodblocks.   Related Paintings of Crane, Walter :. | The Night Bivouac of the Napoleon Army during retreat from Russia in 1812. | parnell 1881 | barbara villiers,duchess of cheveland as st.catherine of alexandria | Sarah and the Archangel (mk08) | Venus Standing in a Landscape |
