JOHN FULLEYLOVE RI (1845-1908)

John Fulleylove was born in Leicester on 18 August 1847, and was educated locally. He served an apprenticeship as a clerk to a local firm of architects. In his free hours, he began to develop a strong interest in picturesque architecture by sketching from nature. He received some instruction in painting from Harry Ward, a drawing master of the school of James Duffield Harding. His earliest drawings were views of his native town and its neighbourhood, and his first exhibits, in London in 1871, were of English subjects influenced by his friend Thomas Collier. Subsequently, he painted widely at home and abroad, in Europe and the Near East. He exhibited the results regularly with London societies and dealers, latterly at the Leicester Galleries, and in provincial centres.

In 1878, Fulleylove married Elizabeth, sister to George Elgood, and within five years they had settled in London, living in Mecklenburgh Square, Great Russell Street (1893) and ultimately in Church Row, Hampstead (from 1894). He was elected an associate member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colour in 1878, and a full member a year later, and a member of the Royal Society of Painters in Oils in 1883. (He acted as Vice-President of the ROI in 1906.) He secured his reputation with eight solo shows held at the Fine Art Society between 1886 and 1906, and especially with the exhibition in 1896 of ninety drawings made on his travels through Greece with his friends Alfred Higgins and Somers Clarke. He died at the age of only fifty, on 22 May 1908, while he was working on a commission from A & C Black for a book on Eton.
