Henry Charles Brewer (1866 - 1950)[1][2] was a British painter. Part of a family of leading professional artists, Brewer was the son of artist Henry William Brewer and brother to the illustrator and etcher, James Alphege Brewer.[3] Brewer studied at Westminster School of Art with Frederick Brown and lived in London, where he painted numerous urban scenes,[3] and executed the notable wall paintings in the Lady Chapel of St Peter's Church, Ealing.[4] He exhibited at the Fine Art Society and the Royal Academy between 1899 and 1902, and in 1913 the Royal Society of Arts awarded him its gold medal.[5] Brewer also participated in a number of exhibitions in Australia and New Zealand.[5] A member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Brewer was elected to the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1914.[3]
