  ARC ARTicles - Obituary of Edward Poynter - Paul Ripley - Page 1/1
Sir Edward John Poynter, first baronet, President of the Royal Academy from 1896 to 1918, and Director of the National Gallery from 1894 to 1905, was the son of Ambrose Poynter, an architect, well-known in his day as the designer, among many other buildings, of St Katherine's Hospital, Regents Park.
The young Poynter was of artistic descent on both sides, and though neither of his ancestors was a painter, his love for architectural backgrounds and for a sculpturesque treatment of form may perhaps be traced to those inherited influences.
Poynter became Director of the National Gallery in 1894, in succession to Sir Frederick Burton, who, good work as he had done in the early part of his time, had held the post too long.

In 1879, JW was glad of Poynter's company, meeting up with him and his wife on his way to Venice in 1879, and travelling with him as far as Milan.

Poynter needed a success with a picture at the Academy, as this was the only way to bring his name before the public, and also the only way to smake enough money to support himself.
Poynter's approach to the subject was an original one, combining the antiquarian methods of Alma-Tadema and Gerome, with the more heoric and monumental style of Leighton.
This formula of combing historical acuracy with heroic action was Poynter's main contribution to the classical movement, and it was to be much copied by other artists.

 Study on "Cave of the Sea Nymphs" after Poynter
Description: For much of his artistic life, Sir Edward Poynter, the neo-classical painter, lived under the shadow of Lord Leighton, and as a result his work was unjustly neglected.
Unlike Leighton, whose flamboyant lifestyle matched his outgoing personality, Poynter was a reserved, cantankerous man who was unable to change with the times, with the result that his later work was dismissed as pretentious and uninteresting.
Poynter was born in Paris, the son of an architect, and after being educated at Westminster and Ipswich Grammar School, he went to Rome, where he met Leighton.

Perhaps pride of place goes to the eight drawings by Poynter, studies for portions of his large mosaic mural of St. George in the Houses of Parliament.
These are fascinating testimony to the scrupulous development of the composition; although preparatory and investigatory studies, these drawings demonstrate a vigor and meticulousness that would seem to belie their purpose.
Poynter's adherence to an idealizing art, one based on the study of the Classical past and the Italian High Renaissance, is fully evident in his drawings.

 Welcome to the Frick
Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898), William Morris (1834-1896), Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), Edward Poynter (1836-1919), and John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) are among the masters featured in Victorian Visions.
Frederic Leighton’s (1830-1896) Study of a Draped Man (date unknown), for example, reveals his interest in elegant linear classicism, while medievalism is evoked in Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s studies for the Seed of David altarpiece (1858-1860), a commission for Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff, and his painterly ink study of David as King (1860).
Edward Poynter, who saw himself as an heir to the classical tradition, is prominently featured in the exhibition.

Millais left the group in 1859, but as the second generation Pre-Raphaelites, other English artists joined it, including the painter Edward Coley Burne-Jones; the poet and artist William Morris was never a Pre-Raphaelite in the true conception of the term.
The group reacted against the Victorian materialism and the conventions of the Royal Academy in London and was inspired by medieval and early Renaissance painters up to and including the Italian painter Raphael.
  Sir Edward John Poynter was never a member of Pre-Raphaelites, instead he was one of the Victorian Classicist painters (the so-called Olympians) together with Leighton, Alma-Tadema and Watts.
