Eastlake, Sir Charles Lock

▪ British painter
born Nov. 17, 1793, Plymouth, Devon, Eng.
died Dec. 24, 1865, Pisa, Italy

      English Neoclassical painter who helped develop England's national collection of paintings.

      Eastlake studied first under the English historical painter and writer Benjamin Robert Haydon, whose genre he chose to follow, and later at the Royal Academy of Arts, London. After 1813 he traveled extensively on the European continent, remaining in Rome from 1818 to 1830. During this period he painted the Italian peasant scenes for which he became famous in England. About 1823 he began to explore historical and classical subject matter. In 1830 he was elected to the Royal Academy.

      Between 1830 and 1840 Eastlake worked devotedly on his notebooks. From 1843 to 1847 he was keeper of the National Gallery, resigning amid unjust criticism. His significant study Materials for a History of Oil Painting appeared in 1847. When in 1850 he became president of the Royal Academy and was knighted, Eastlake abandoned painting for administration, becoming arbiter of national and court taste. In 1855 he was appointed to the new directorship of the National Gallery, a position he held until his death.

      Although he is not considered to be more than a conventional painter, he acquired many important works for the National Gallery and also contributed to the literature of art history.
