Charles Edward Hallé

Although born only two years before the founding the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, stylistically Hallé was aligned with the aesthetic of the so-called "second wave" of that group, and artists such as Edward Burne-Jones.

At seventeen years of age he traveled to France and worked with Victor Mottez, a student of Ingres.

in January 1900 he joined the South African Conciliation Committee which was looking for a peaceful settlement of the 2nd Boer War.

[3] Charles Hallé is mentioned very fondly by Isadora Duncan in her 1927 book My Life, published the year of her death.

She describes the activities she and Charles enjoyed together in Paris, long strolls, trips to the countryside, gallery tramping and dining.
