CALLCOTT, SIR AUGUSTUS WALL(1779-1844)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 56 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CALLCOTT, SIR AUGUSTUS WALL(1779-1844) , English landscape painter, was born at Kensington in 1779 and died there in 1844. His first study was music; and he sang for several years in the choir of Westminster Abbey. But at the age of twenty he had determined to give up music, and had exhibited his first
painting
  at the Royal
Academy
 . He gradually rose to distinction, and was elected an associate in 1807 and an academician in 1810. In 1827 he received the honour of
knighthood
 ; and, seven years later, was appointed surveyor of the royal pictures. His two
principal
  subject pictures"
Raphael
  and the Fornarina," and " Milton dictating to his Daughters," are much inferior to his landscapes, which are placed in the highest class by their refined
taste
  and quiet beauty.
His wife, MARIA, Lady Callcott (1786-1844), whom he married in 1827, was a daughter of
Admiral
  Dundas and widow of Captain
Thomas
  Graham, R.N. (d. 1822). With her first husband she travelled in India,
South
  Africa and
South
  America, where she acted for some time as teacher of Donna Maria, who became queen of Portugal in 1826; and in the company of her second husband she spent much time in the south of Europe. She published accounts of her visits to India (1812), and to the environs of Rome (1820); Memoirs of Poussin (1820); a History of France; a History of Spain (1828); Essays toward a History of
Painting
  (1836); Little Arthur's History of England (1836); and the Scripture Herbal (1842).
