NEWTON, GILBERT STUART, born in
Halifax, Nova
Scotia, Sept. 2,
1795, died at
Chelsea, Eng.,
Aug. 5, 1835.
Son of a royalist
officer driven
from Boston
when Washington
occupied it;
on the death of
his father his mother returned (1803) to
Boston, where he had some instruction from
his uncle, Gilbert Stuart. In 1817 he went
to Italy and to Paris, where he met Charles
Robert Leslie, and, returning with him to
London, became a student at the Royal
Academy, and was soon recognized as an
agreeable subject painter. Elected an A.R.A.
in 1828, and R.A. in 1832, in which year
he revisited America and married. On his
return, his mind became so seriously affected
that he had to be taken to a private
asylum at Chelsea, where he died.
