Artist Bio: Charles Edward Brittan (1837- 1888)

Charles E. Brittan lived in Devon, UK, and was a very highly regarded landscape painter, particularly of Dartmoor but also Cornwall, Exmoor, and Scotland. His works especially showed an intimate knowledge and fine detail of the local wildflower, fauna, and sprawling landscape of Dartmoor. He held many major exhibitions in London in the early 20th Century, notably at the Bond Street Gallery of Ackerman and Son and Graves Gallery. His work was popular with members of the Royal Family, as his Dartmoor landscapes were purchased by Queen Mary and the Duke of Windsor.
