The late Mr. Henry Warren, 1880. We have already recorded the death on the 18th December of this artist, the late President of the Institute of Painters in Water Colours, at the advanced age of eighty-five years...He relinquished...the study of sculpture; in 1818 he became a student of the Royal Academy, and turned his attention to painting in oil. His first contribution to the Royal Academy, exhibited in 1823, indicated in its title, "Love Among the Roses," the tendency of his taste; his second picture was a landscape. Not long after this he devoted himself to water-colour painting, and, in 1835, became a member of the New Society (now the Institute) of Painters in Water Colours, which had been formed in the previous year. Before long he was elected President of that body...Mr. Warrens drawings are familiar to the public, but it is perhaps not so well known that he wrote several books, including "Hints upon Hints; or, Strokes upon Copper and Canvas," 1833 ; "A Drawing-Book," "A Text-Book for Art-Students," "A Treatise on Figure-Drawing," and "Artistic Anatomy of the Human Figure."...Mr. Warren was knighted by Leopold, the late King of the Belgians, in recognition of his talents as an artist.
