Richard Redgrave, landscape painter, 1878. Redgrave's early years as an artist were difficult ones, until in 1837 he exhibited 'Gulliver on the Farmer's Table', which brought him to the attention of a wide audience. Among his best-known works are, 'Ophelia wearing her Garlands', 'The Thames from Millbank', 'Cinderella', 'The Poor Teacher' and 'The Poet's Study'. In 1858 Queen Victoria appointed him Surveyor of Crown Pictures.
