Description

71/0/10032 Headstone to Sir Samuel Luke Fildes, B 23-JUL-04 rookwood Cemetery

GV II Memorial to Sir (Samuel) Luke Fildes, RA (1844-1927). Portland stone. An upright block in the form of an Athenian stele, or grave-marker, with an elaborate palmette and acanthus-enriched head. HISTORY: Fildes is best remembered as a painter of social realist scenes; later in his career he turned to portraiture, and painted various Edwardian state portraits. He was knighted as a result. His wife Fanny is also commeorated here. Listed for historic and design interest: this is a late example of a Neo-classical memorial.
