Charles Hill (painter)

Charles Hill (1824 – 16 September 1915) was an engraver, painter and arts educator in South Australia.

[2] Charles was more interested in art than a military career, and served an apprenticeship as line engraver to Mark Lambert in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Hill emigrated to South Australia on the recommendation of Archdeacon Farr (1819–1904), in the hope that a change of climate would be good for his health, arriving on the Historia in 1854.

[3] Wilton Hack succeeded Hill as drawing master in 1868 at both St. Peter's and AEI.

[5] Notable paintings by Charles Hill include: He married Eliza Georgina Jane Proctor (c.1830 – 31 August 1918) of Boston, Lincolnshire on 4 April 1852.
