Artist: Sir Ernest George RA (British, 1839-1922)
Sir Ernest George: An eminent nineteenth century architect, Sir Ernest George was also highly respected for his original etchings and watercolours. He studied art and architecture at the Royal Academy Schools, London, and created his first set of etchings in 1873 ('Etchings on the Moselle'). During the following years Ernest George etched and painted many fine architectural views in France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Italy.
Ernest George was a full member of the Royal Society of Etchers and Engravers (1881), the Royal British Artists (1889) and the prestigious Royal Academy (1917). He was also knighted for his contributions to art and architecture in 1912. Both the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, own collections of Sir Ernest George's etchings.
