1816 1879 Matt Matthew Ward


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic and brilliant mind of Edward Matthew Ward (1816-1879), a renowned English painter of the Victorian era. Ward is best known for his historical and biblical paintings, which were highly regarded for their meticulous attention to detail and emotional depth. Born on March 16, 1816, in London, Ward showed an early aptitude for art. He studied under the tutelage of Thomas Creswick and later at the Royal Academy Schools. Ward's artistic talent was soon recognized, and he began to exhibit his works at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. One of Ward's most famous works is "The Last Moments of the Virgin," a painting that depicts the Virgin Mary in her final moments before her Assumption into heaven. The painting is a masterpiece of emotional intensity and religious devotion, and it is still admired for its beauty and spiritual depth today. Ward's other notable works include "The Prodigal Son," "The Good Samaritan," and "The Agony in the Garden." His paintings were popular among the Victorian elite, and he received numerous commissions from wealthy patrons and the Church. Despite his success, Ward's personal life was marked by tragedy. He suffered from ill health throughout his life, and his wife and daughter both died young. Ward passed away on March 2, 1879, leaving behind a legacy of beautiful and moving works of art that continue to inspire and captivate audiences. This photograph of Edward Matthew Ward, taken in later life, captures the intensity and focus of a man who dedicated his life to creating art that touched the hearts and souls of his viewers. The lines on his face and the serious expression in his eyes speak of a man who lived a life fully committed to his art and his faith.
