Poynter, Sir Edward (1836–1919). English painter and administrator, son of the architect Ambrose Poynter, and great-grandson of the sculptor
Thomas Banks. He formed his academic style in Italy (1853–4), where he met
Frederic Leighton and admired
Michelangelo above all other artists, and in Paris (1856–9), where he studied with
Gleyre. His reputation was made with the huge
Israel in Egypt (1867, Guildhall AG, London) and he became one of the most popular painters of the day with similar elaborate historical tableaux in which he displayed his great prowess as a draughtsman. In the latter part of his career, however, he confined himself to much smaller works, similar to
Alma-Tadema's classical
genre scenes, as he devoted himself much more to administration; most notably he was first
Slade professor at University College London, 1871–5; director of the National Gallery, 1894–1904; and president of the Royal Academy, 1896–1918.
