George Price Boyce.RWS
1826-1897
English painter. He was the son of a prosperous wine merchant and pawnbroker. His childhood was spent in London, and in 1846 he was apprenticed to the firm of architects Wyatt & Brandon, where he remained for three years. He was always fascinated by ancient buildings but gradually lost interest in architecture as a career. In 1849, perhaps as a result of meeting David Cox at Betws-y-Coed (Gwynedd, Wales), he decided to become a painter. In the early 1850s Boyce drew landscape and architectural subjects with a fluent watercolour technique derived from Cox. In 1854 Boyce made an extended journey to Italy; he painted views of buildings in Venice and Verona, which were commended by Ruskin, and semi-abstract twilight studies Related Paintings of George Price Boyce.RWS :. | Self Portrait | Bergen, North | Landscape | Sumpflegende, heute im Besitz des Lenbachhaus Munchen | Marine painting | Related Artists: Evariste Carpentier(1845 -1922 ) - Painter
