About Eyre Crowe
Eyre Crowe, ARA was an English painter and author who specialised in history painting and genre art. His work usually centered around the everyday life's of the poor urban working class during the industrial revolution. He was rather progressive for the time, deviating from the idealistic depictions of urban life popular among the public. Instead he aimed for social realism in his pieces. The 1874 edition of The Art Journal described him as, "[un]afraid of reality, and [un]shrinking from scenes that less robust minds would consider vulgar." He died on 12 December 1910 from heart failure following a hernia operation. He is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery, London.
