Alfred Morgan (painter)
Alfred Morgan (1836 - 1924) was a British painter. His three children also became artists.[1]
Several of Morgan's artworks are at the Victoria and Albert Museum including framed paintings as well as murals decorating the museum's architecture.[2] Morgan painted a portrait of Inigo Jones that was the basis for a mosaic at what was then the South Kensington Museum, one of 35 mosaic depictions of famous artists at the museum's South Court.[3] Several of his works were part of the International Health Exhibition of 1884.[4]
Morgan studied at South Kensington School of Art. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and produced still lifes, genre pictures, portraits, landscape paintings, paintings of historical and scriptural subjects,[3] and murals such as a lunette painting at the South Kennsington Museum.[5]
His sons were Alfred Kedington Morgan (23 July 1868 - 14 April 1828), Owen Baxter Morgan (9 April 1873 - 29 August 1920) and daughter Ethel Mahala Morgan (5 September 1875 – 22 December 1926).[1] His eldest was a master at Rugby School[6] and married fellow artist Gertrude Ellen Hayes.
