Percy (William) French (1854-1920)
The landscape painter, sketcher and illustrator William French was born in County Roscommon. Quite apart from his artistic talent in drawing and watercolour painting, he was also a writer, banjo-player, opera composer, poet and one of Ireland's most popular songwriters and entertainers. Hence his reputation as a Renaissance man.
French graduated from Trinity College Dublin as a civil engineer in 1881, joining the Board of Works in County Ca (showing 500 of 3389 characters). |
