Description: Boyce studied architecture on the Continent. A fortuitous meeting with David COX at Bettws-y-Coed in 1849 encouraged him to take up landscape painting. From 1851 to 1875 Boyce kept a diary (extracts published in O.W.S. Club Vol.XIX, 1941) which gives us intimate pictures of RUSKIN, MILLAIS, Holman HUNT, William Morris (1834-96), Algernon Swinburne (1837-1909), WHISTLER and, above all, ROSSETTI. The meticulous style of Boyce’s painting was clearly influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites. The Tate exhibition catalogue by Christopher Newall and Judy Egerton quotes Staley’s opinion that this is a very good example of ‘the sense of intimacy’ which Boyce gives his subjects by restricting the space he allows them.
