HISCOX, George Dunkerton, was born in 1840 at North Wooton, near Wells, and received his early education at St. Mark's School, Windsor. After studying at Oxford with a view to entering the Church, he became a student in 1860 at the Bristol School of Art, and afterwards at the Bristol Academy of Fine Arts. He was for three years a teacher at the School of Art, and in 1867 left Bristol for Windsor, where he settled as an art master in connection with South Kensington. His first exhibit at the Royal Academy, in 1884, was 'Now fades the Glimmering Landscape,' and in 1891 he had a large oil painting entitled 'O'er the Dark Forest peers the Setting Sun.' Several of his works were purchased by her late Majesty Queen Victoria, among them 'The Home of the Queen,' two drawings of 'Burnham Beeches,' and 'The Mausoleum at Frogmore,' exhibited at the New Gallery in 1889. He died on Jan. 21, 1901.
