GILBERT (1834-1894) , See also:English artist and author, was See also:born at Laneside, near See also:Shaw, See also:close to See also:Oldham, on the loth of See also:September 1834. His See also:mother died at his See also:birth, and having lost his See also:father ten years afterwards, he was educated privately under the direction of his guardians. His first See also:literary See also:attempt, a See also:volume of poems, proving unsuccessful, he devoted himself for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time entirely to landscape See also:painting, encamping out of doors in the See also:Highlands, where he eventually rented the See also:island of Innistrynych, upon which he settled with his wife, a See also:French See also:lady, in 1858. Discovering after a time that his qualifications were rather those of an See also:art critic than of a painter he removed to the neighbourhood of his wife's relatives in See also:France, where he produced his Painter's See also:Camp in the Highlands (1863), which obtained a See also:great success and prepared the way for his See also:standard See also:work on See also:Etching and Etchers (1866). In the following See also:year he published a See also:book, entitled Contemporary French Painters, and in 1868 a continuation, Painting in France after the Decline of Classicism. He had meanwhile become art critic to the Saturday See also:Review, a position which, from the See also:burden it laid upon him of frequent visits to See also:England, he did not See also:long retain. He proceeded (187o) to establish an art See also:journal of his own, The See also:Portfolio, a monthly periodical, each number of which consisted of a monograph upon-some artist or See also:group of artists, frequently written and always edited by him. The discontinuance of his active work as a painter gave him time for more See also:general literary See also:composition, and he successively produced The Intellectual See also:Life (1873), perhaps the best known and most valuable of his writings; See also:Round my See also:House (1876), notes on French society by a See also:resident; and See also:Modern Frenchmen (1879), admirable See also:short See also:biographies. He also wrote two novels, Wenderholme (1870) and Marmorne (1878). In 1884 Human Intercourse, another valuable volume of essays, was published, and shortly afterwards Hamerton began to write his autobiography, which he brought down to 1858. In 1882 he issued a finely illustrated work on the technique of the great masters of various arts, under the See also:title of The Graphic Arts, and three years later another splendidly illustrated volume, Landscape, which traces the See also:influence of landscape upon the mind of See also:man. His last books were: Portfolio Papers (1889) and French and English (1889). In 1891 he removed to the neighbourhood of See also:Paris, and died suddenly on the 4th of See also:November 1894, occupied to the last with his labours on The Portfolio and other writings on art.
In 1896 was published Philip Gilbert Hamerton: an Auto-See also:biography, 1834–1858; and a Memoir by his Wife, 1858–1894.
