George James Howard
British painter, 1843–1911
His country seat, Naworth Castele, was also filled with Pre-Raphaelite art. He and his wife Rosalind (an advocate of temperance and socialism) entertained many of the Pre-Raphaelites and their wives in addition to leading writers and cultural figures of the day. Howard was also responsible for Burne-Jones’s last and largest commission, “Arthur in Avalon” (Museo de Ponce, Puerto Rico) which was left unfinished at the artist’s death.
A disciple of the Italian artist, Giovanni Costa, Howard was active in the “Etruscan” group of landscape painters, whose members also included William Blake Richmond and Frederic Leighton.
