ROSS, Sir WILLIAM CHARLES, born in London, June 3, 1794, died there, Jan. 20, 1860. Miniature painter, son and pupil of Mrs. Maria Ross (1760-1836), portrait painter, and student of Royal Academy in 1808. In 1809 he exhibited several classical works at the Academy, and up to 1826 his canvases were mostly large. In 1814 became assistant to Andrew Robertson, miniature painter, but soon found a fashionable following of his own. Among his distinguished sitters were the Queen and Prince Consort of England, the King and Queen of Belgium, Louis Philippe, Louis Napoleon, and King and Queen of Portugal. Elected an A.R.A. in 1838, R.A. in 1843, and knighted the same year. His portraits are rich in colour, and strongly individualized; the influence of Reynolds is apparent in his style. He painted more than 2,200 miniatures on ivory.—Art Journal (1849), 48; Sandby, ii. 171; Redgrave; Wilmot-Buxton, 99.

Cosimo's style in the Last Judgment, Berlin, assigned to him and to Angelico, is that of a weak follower of the latter. He executed frescos in S. Ambrogio,
