Stuart Lloyd was born in around 1858 and studied in Paris at the studio of Bonnat. At the age of 20, he was elected a member of the Royal Society of British Artists - the youngest member ever elected. He was a prolific artist and exhibited over 40 paintings at the Royal Academy and many others at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, and at the Royal Society of British Artists. He won a silver medal at the International Exhibition, London, and the only gold medal ever given for a landscape in 1891. He lived at 10 Fitzroy Street, London until 1880 and then moved to nearby Bloomsbury Mansions in Hart Street. In 1893 he moved to 18 Regents Park Road, Primrose Hill and lived there until 1901 when he left London for good. He stayed at a couple of addresses in Sussex before finally settling in Brighton. Stuart Lloyd painted mainly in watercolours but did produce several large oil paintings of exhibition quality. All of his paintings seem to have captured a magical time when the countryside was a peaceful and delightful place to live and work. Most of his landscapes feature a river and there is often a church or cathedral in the scene.
