George Price Boyce (1826-1897) originally trained as an architect but after a life-changing meeting with landscapist David Cox, he gave up architecture and took up painting.
He initially took lessons with David Cox and was introduced to Thomas Seddon, and it was through him that he came into contact with the Pre-Raphaelite circle. In 1849 he met Rossetti for the first time and the two remained close friends for over thirty years.
Boyce mainly did landscapes in a highly distinctive style but in the 1860s he made several portraits of young women, most of them models who sat for Rossetti, such as Alex Wilding and Ellen Smith.

William Orpen's 'To the Unknown British Soldier in France'
There is a fascinating story about this picture that not only highlights the pomposity and arrogance of the politicians of the time of World War I but has also introduced me to the word 'vainglory', which I hadn't heard before but which is no doubt appropriate for some of today's leaders.
