Ernest Crofts
Ernest Crofts was one of the most famous and successful military-historical painters of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. He favoured historical subjects of the Napoleonic era and English Civil War. Crofts had an outstanding knowledge of military costumes and built a large collection of original uniforms and militaria enabling him to depict these in minute and authentic detail. Crofts was also known to have sketched on various battlefields during the Prussian war with France and was present at the battle of Gravelotte. Between 1867 and his death in 1911, Ernest Crofts exhibited 47 paintings at the Royal Academy in London, as well as at the Royal Society of British Artists. Crofts was made an Associate of the RA in 1878 and a full Royal Academician in 1896.
