early life and education

charles fairfax murray, a renowned english painter, dealer, collector, benefactor, and art historian, was born in 1849 in bow, near london. he grew up in sudbury, suffolk, where he studied drawing, possibly under thomas gainsborough's great nephew, gainsborough dupont.

artistic career

at the age of 12, murray was employed in the drawing office of the railway entrepreneurs peto & betts and was taken into sir samuel morton peto's home to draw portraits of his family. he was later introduced to john ruskin at the age of 16 and installed as edward burne-jones's first studio assistant in 1867. murray rapidly became one of the circle of pre-raphaelite founder dante gabriel rossetti, and a friend of william morris and philip webb.
