James Sant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Sant CVO, RA (1820-1916) was a British painter specializing in portraits, and a member of the Royal Academy.
Born in Croydon, Sant lived to the age of 96 and produced an astonishing number of canvases for exhibition at the Academy, some 250 of them, from 1840 through 1904. He was elected to the RA in 1870, and in 1872 Sant was appointed "Painter-in-Ordinary" (official portraitist) to Queen Victoria and the royal family. Sant resigned from the RA in 1914 to "make room for younger men." His work can be found at the Tate Gallery.
