HORSLEY, JOHN CALLCOTT (1817-1903)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 740 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HORSLEY, JOHN CALLCOTT (1817-1903) , English painter, son of William Horsley, the musician, and grand-nephew of Sir
Augustus
  Callcott, was born in London, on the 29th of January 1817. He studied painting in the Academy schools, and in 1836 exhibited " The
Pride
  of the
Village
  " (Vernon Gallery) at the Royal Academy. This was followed by numerous genre pictures at subsequent exhibitions up to 1893, the best known of these being " Malvolio," " L'Allegro and i1 Penseroso " (painted for the Prince Consort), " Le Jour des Morts," " A Scene from Don Quixote," &c. In 1843 his cartoon of " St Augustine Preaching" won a prize in the Westminster
Hall
  competition, and in 1844 he was selected as one of the six painters commissioned to execute frescoes for the Houses of
Parliament
 , his " Religion " (1845) being put in the
House
  of Lords; he also painted the ."
Henry
  V. assuming the Crown " and " Satan surprised at the Ear of Eve." In 1864 he became R.A., and in 1882 was elected treasurer, a post which he held till 1897, when he resigned and became a " retired Academician." Mr Horsley had much to do with organizing the winter exhibitions of " Old Masters " at Burlington
House
  after 1870. When, during the 'eighties, the example of the French Salon began to affect the Academy exhibitors, and paintings of the nude became the fashion, he protested against the innovation, and his attitude caused Punch to give him the punning sobriquet of " Mr J. C (lothes) Horsley." He died on the 18th of October 1903. His son, Sir
Victor
  Horsley (b. 1857), became famous as a surgeon and neuropathologist, and a prominent supporter of the cause of experimental, research.
