FORBES, Alexander Stanhope Painter ^{1 2}

  General Notes:

"Stanhope Forbes was born in Dublin, his father was a railway manager and his mother Juliette de Guise was French. His father's brother, James Staats Forbes was an art collector and a close friend of Joseph Israels, a well-known Dutch artist. It is generally assumed that Forbes developed a serious interest in art at an early age, through the influence of his uncle. "

Forbes studied at the Lambeth School of Art [1874 - 1876]

"Stanhope Forbes continued to paint out-doors up to the end of the 1930s. He lived on until 1947, dying a few months before his ninetieth birthday."
