From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles William Mitchell was an English
pre-Raphealite painter from
Newcastle, born in
1854 and died in
1903. A contemporary of
John William Waterhouse, his work is similar in many ways. His one famous piece was
Hypatia, shown in
1885 and likely inspired by the
Charles Kingsley serialized novel
Hypatia or New Foes with an Old Face. This painting is currently in the
Laing Art Gallery.
