1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Waterlow, Sir Ernest Albert

WATERLOW, SIR ERNEST ALBERT (1850–), English painter, was born in London, and received the main part of his art education in the Royal Academy schools, where, in 1873, he gained the Turner medal for landscape-painting. He was elected associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water-Colours in 1880, member in 1894, and president in 1897; associate of the Royal Academy in 1890, and academician in 1903; and he was knighted in 1902. He began to exhibit in 1872 and has produced a considerable number of admirable landscapes, in oil and water-colour, handled with grace and distinction. One of his pictures, “Galway Gossips,” is in the National Gallery of British Art.
