He received his See also:art See also:education under See also:Professor See also:Legros at the See also:Slade School, University See also:College, See also:London, where he had a distinguished career. After passing six months at See also:Newlyn, where he painted his first picture exhibited in the Royal See also:Academy, " Fishermen Mending a See also:Sail " (1885), he obtained a travelling scholarship and studied for two years in See also:Italy, a sojourn which greatly influenced his art. At his return, on the invitation of Legros, he became for two years assistant-See also:master at the Slade School, and there devoted himself to See also:painting and See also:etching. Among his pictures may be mentioned
The See also:Death of See also:Torrigiano " (1886), " The Satyr See also:- KING

church of Aveley, See also:Essex, he painted a See also:triptych altarpiece, " The See also:Adoration of the Shepherds," with wings representing " St See also:Michael " and " St See also:Gabriel," and designed as well the window, " The Resurrection." His portraits, such as that of " G. F. See also:Watts, R.A.," in the Legros manner, show much dignity and distinction. Sir Charles Holroyd has made his See also:chief reputation as an etcher of exceptional ability, combining strength with delicacy, and a profound technical knowledge of the art. Among the best known are the " See also:Monte Oliveto " See also:series, the " Icarus " series, the " Monte Subasio " series, and the " See also:Eve " series, together with the plates, " The See also:Flight into See also:Egypt," " The Prodigal Son," " A See also:Barn on Tadworth See also:Common " (etched in the open See also:air), and " The See also:Storm." His etched heads of " Professor Legros," " See also:Lord See also:Courtney " and "See also:Night," are admirable alike in knowledge and in likeness. His See also:principal dry-point is " The Bather." In all his See also:work Holroyd displays an impressive sincerity, with a See also:fine sense of See also:composition, and of See also:style, allied to See also:independent and See also:modern feeling. He was appointed the first keeper of the See also:National See also:Gallery of British Art(See also:Tate Gallery), and on the retirement of Sir See also:Edward See also:Poynter in 1906 he received the directorship of the National Gallery. He was knighted in 1903. His Michael Angelo Buonarotti (London, See also:Duckworth, 1903) is a scholarly work of real value.
