Richard Buckner (born Woolwich, London, 25 October 1812; died 12 August 1883[1]), was an English portrait painter.[1]
Buckner was the son of an army officer.[1] After a serving in the army, he studied painting under G B Canevari in Rome.[1]
He first painted miniatures, but then changed to painting larger portraits.[1] He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1842 and 1877.[1]
Many engravings based on his works are in the National Portrait Gallery, London.[2] His oil paintings Portrait of a boy[1] and Portrait of a Boy Chorister of the Chapel Royal[3] are in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
