1802-1873 Painter, draughtsman, sculptor and etcher, brother of (3) Charles Landseer. He became the best-known member of the family and was one of the most highly respected and popular British painters of the 19th century. He was first trained by his father, who taught him etching, and he then studied with Benjamin Robert Haydon and at the Royal Academy Schools in London. Precociously gifted, he drew competently from childhood and in 1813 he won the Silver Palette for draughtsmanship at the Society of Arts. In 1815 he exhibited at the Royal Academy for the first time, showing some drawings of a mule and of the heads of dogs. From an early age he was a frequent visitor to the menagerie in Exeter Change in the Strand, London, where he drew lions, monkeys and other animals.   Related Paintings of Sir edwin landseer,ra :. | The Library of Benjamin Godfrey windus | St. Jerome in the Wilderness | Allegory on the raid at Chatham 91667), with a portrait of Cornelis de Witt. | Landscape with River and Figures df | Portrait of a Man Form: painting |
