Joseph Clark (1834 - 1926)
Listed in Benezit's famous dictionary of artists, the Dorset-born Joseph Clark studied painting under J.M. Leigh, the sole disciple of the celebrated classical painter William Etty, RA. From 1857 onwards, he was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, and he likewise participated in several international World Fairs, including Philadelphia in 1876 where he won a bronze medal. His genre scenes often feature children and reflect on simple childhood pleasures. Admired in both Europe and America, London's Tate has two painting by Clark in their collection.
