New Associates of the Royal Academy: Mr. E. Long, A.R.A. 1876. Creator: Unknown

New Associates of the Royal Academy: Mr. E. Long, A.R.A. 1876. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. Charles Watkins, of Parliament-street....At an early age he resolved to be a painter, though, as in the case of so many other artists who have risen to distinction, his resolution was strongly opposed by his parents and friends. Despite all opposition, however, when about fifteen he contrived to carry into effect a determination to study art...His success was at first but slow; when about twenty, however, a portrait of General Lord Gough brought him into local repute....Mr. Long has visited some of the principal Continental galleries and made a great number of sketches and copies. A visit to Madrid in 1857, for the purpose of studying the portraits of Velasquez, inspired him to paint subjects from Spanish life'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876
