A native of Edinburgh, Orchardson entered the Trustee's Academy in 1845. As a senior student, after 1852, he benefitted from the teaching of Robert Scott Lauder. In 1862 Orchardson moved to London, subsequently winning acclaim in England and France. He became a Royal Academician in 1889 and was knighted in 1907.
According to Orchardson's daughter, Scott Lauder saw this painting in its very preliminary stages three days before the RSA sending in date for the 1853 exhibition and encouraged the artist to complete it, which he did in the short time available. | Publisher: | University of St Andrews | Rights holder: | 47795 | Subjects: | MARTYR COMMUNION PROTESTANT painting | Temporal: | 1853/1853 | Source: | University of St Andrews | Creator: | ORCHARDSON, William Quiller | Identifier: | HC483 | Language: | en-GB |
