Birth Place: Lowell (Middlesex county, Massachusetts, United States)Biography:
American painter, printmaker, and designer, active in England. He developed from the Realism of Courbet and Manet to become one of the leading members of The Aesthetic Movement and an exponent of Japonisme.

In his later life, he created an ambitious series of etchings.
