| Long, who was born in Bath was a successful classical painter. In his youth Edwin Longsden Long twice tried to enrol at the Royal Academy Schools, but was refused entry due to deficiencies in his drawing. Edwin Longsden Long moved back to Bath as a result of these setbacks. In 1857 Edwin Longsden Long visited Spain on the advice of John Phillip 1817-1867, whose faltering career had been revitalised by a sojourn there. In all Edwin Longsden Long visited Spain three times, and developed like Phillip a talent for Spanish genre painting. |

Long visited the Holy Land in 1874, and began to produce large, rather static, pictures of incidents from the Bible. His painting “ The Babylonian Marriage Market,” was a great success at the Royal Academy in 1875, and was afterwards sold for the enormous sum of £7350, making him financially secure. Longs pictures, like those of Alma-Tadema, were praised for the accuracy of their historic settings, and the precise rendering of historical artefacts. Edwin Longsden Long produced a number of very large canvasses with biblical scenes which made him a wealthy highAbout US artist. Their appeal is somewhat difficult for us to understand in the more secular world we live in today. Long became a full Academician in 1881. Edwin Longsden Long died suddenly of pnuemonia in 1891, and his reputation quickly declined. The major collector of his painting was Merton Russell-Cotes.
