Biography

British artist who, after winning a painting prize of 300 pounds in 1842, went to Italy to study and continue his style development.

He had a very delicate childhood, barely surviving measles at the age of six. Two of his brothers died of childhood diseases.

In 1864 Watts married the great stage actress, Ellen Terry. His marriage ultimately ended in divorce; it was not until 22 years later that he married for the second time.

Watts died on 6/01/1904, Compton, England
