George Price Boyce

George Price Boyce RWS (24 September 1826 – 9 February 1897) was a British watercolour painter of landscapes and vernacular architecture in the Pre-Raphaelite style.

Already disillusioned with architecture[2] a meeting with the artist David Cox in August 1849 persuaded him to give up the profession and take up watercolour painting instead.

[7] Much of his work from the late 1850s concentrated on English landscapes, often incorporating views of vernacular architecture,[8] especially around the Thames Valley villages of Pangbourne, Mapledurham, Whitchurch and Streatley, swell as in Sussex and Surrey.

[10] Rossetti, who disliked working out of doors borrowed Boyce's sketches to provide the background for his watercolour Writing on the Sand (1858; British Museum, London).

[5] and of the Medieval Society, an organisation, formed mostly of architects, dedicated to promoting interest in the art and architecture of the Middle Ages.
