(1) Sir Charles Lock Eastlake
(b Plymouth, 17 Nov 1793; d Pisa, 24 Dec 1865). English painter, museum director, collector and writer. Fourth son of an Admiralty lawyer at Plymouth, he was educated at local grammar schools and then, briefly, at Charterhouse, Surrey. Determined to become a painter, he began work in 1809 as Benjamin Robert Haydon’s first pupil and as a student at the Royal Academy Schools in London. In 1815 he exhibited for the first time at the British Institution, visited Paris and studied the pictures in the Musée Napoléon. He achieved his first conspicuous success with a scene from contemporary history that he had himself witnessed, Napoleon on Board the Bellerophon in Plymouth Sound (1815; London, N. Mar. Mus.).
