William Lindsay Windus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Lindsay Windus (1822-1907) was a British artist, part of a group of Liverpool painters who were influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite style.
He was born in Liverpool and studied at the Liverpool Academy. On a visit to London in 1850 he became converted to the Pre-Raphaelite style. He exhibited his new style of painting with the work Burd Helen at the Royal Academy, London in 1856. The picture caught the eye of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Ruskin which helped establish Windus as a respected artist.
His first painting was oil on canvas titled Black Boy, 1844.
