EDWARD
STOTT, A.R.A.
1856 - 1918
Born
in Rochdale, Lancashire, Stott trained in Manchester and under
Cabanel at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His early works
were influenced by Millet and Bastien-Lepage and his paintings
of English rural life, around his home at Amberley in Sussex,
have ideas in common with the Newlyn School. Later he adopted
a virtually pointillist technique and also extended the range
of his subjects to include Biblical themes. He was a founder
member of the New English Art Club in 1886. Stott, a bachelor,
left most of his money to the Royal Academy for travelling
scholarships.
