Synopsis
Excerpt from Sir Edwin Landseer, R. A
IT is much to be regretted that no standard biography of Sir Edwin Landseer has ever been published. This surprising neglect borders on the mysterious, for his name is still a household word, and no pictures could be more popular with English-speaking communities than the class of subjects which he made peculiarly his own, and which he painted in such a masterly fashion. The study of his career and experiences, as well as the analysis and illustration of his character and genius, could not fail to have formed a record of unique and enduring interest. Probably it is not now possible to gather the materials for an adequate and sympathetic Life. If this be really the fact, then we are con fronted with the paradox that the personality of one of the greatest and most characteristic painters of the British School of Art, who flourished throughout the first half of Queen Victoria's epoch-making reign, has already become as vague and shadowy as the ghost of Hamlet's father.
