Artist Biography

Philip Richard Morris ARA (1836-1902) was an English painter of genre and maritime scenes, particularly of rural life. After moving to London with his father at fourteen to train for the family trade, Morris became increasingly interested in art and, with the help of William Holman Hunt winning round his father, Morris began taking evening drawing classes in the British Museum. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1877.
