Gilbert Stuart Newtojv, an English painter, born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Nov. 2, 1794, died in Chelsea, England, Aug. 3, 1835. On the death of his father he removed in 1803 with his mother to Boston, and was instructed in painting by his maternal uncle, Gilbert Stuart. About 1816 he went to Italy; and after studying a while at Florence and elsewhere, he went in 1817 to London and became a student in the royal academy. Here he formed an intimacy with Charles R. Leslie and Washington Irving. He early adopted a style founded on that of Watteau, and attracted notice by his "Forsaken" and "Lovers' Quarrel" from Moliere's Dejnt amoureux, which were engraved for the "Literary Souvenir" of 1826 Among his other works are "Shy lock and Jessica," "Yorick and the Grisette," "The Abbot Boniface," "A Poet reading his Verses to an impatient Gallant," "Macheath," "Lear attended by Cordelia and the Physician," "The Vicar of Wakefield restoring Olivia to her Mother/' and "Aboard in his Study," most of which have been engraved. He was elected a member of the academy in 1833. In 1832 he revisited the United States. Shortly after his return in 1833 he exhibited symptoms of mental aberration, and the last two years of his life were passed in a lunatic asylum.
