Charles Edward Wilson
ARTISTCharles Edward Wilson was born in 1853 in the small village of Whitwell, Derbyshire. His father was the headmaster of the village school and taught him from an early age to value education and knowledge. The family lived at the historic Whitwell Old Hall, a magnificent old mansion whose beauty and character certainly captured Charles' young imagination. Over the years, as Charles grew up, he found more and more pleasure in drawing and painting the surrounding landscape and the people who lived in it. This talent did not go unnoticed. He was encouraged to further his skills and eventually enrolled at the Sheffield School of Art. There he dove deep into the studies of painting and discovered his passion for watercolor.
