Frederic William Burton (1816–1900) Trained in Dublin, he was a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy and later became the Director of the National Gallery in London (1874–1894). Burton famously lost the full use of one of his arms after being thrown from a horse in a severe childhood accident. Despite this, he became one of the most celebrated Victorian-era painters.
