Charles Fairfax Murray, English artist and art connoisseur.

From the guide to the Charles Fairfax Murray manuscript material : 1 item, 1879, (The New York Public Library. Carl H. Pforzheimer Collection of Shelley and His Circle.)

Charles Fairfax Murray (1849-1919), was born in London but lived a significant portion of his adult life in Italy. He was an artist who did work for John Ruskin, Edward Burne-Jones, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Morris. Murray is sometimes identified as the "forgotten Pre-Raphaelite" but he was also an internationally known collector, art dealer, connoisseur, and buyer for private collectors and public museums.
