Philip Gilbert Hamerton was an English essayist, painter, and engraver. He was born in Ancoats, Manchester, in 1836 and died in 1894. He studied at King's College London and initially devoted himself to painting. He is best known for his writings on art, nature, and society, and for his illustrations. He was a prolific author who published works such as "A Painter's Camp" (1866), "Etching and Etchers" (1868), "The Intellectual Life" (1873), and "Human Intercourse" (1884). He was also the founder and editor of "The Portfolio: An Artistic Periodical" from 1870 to 1892. He moved to France in 1866, where he lived much of his life, immersed in the culture and landscape that he often reflected in his works.
