Charles Fairfax Murray (English, 1849-1919) Fairfax Murray is purported to have received an early artistic training from Richard Gainsborough DuPont before becoming a protégé of John Ruskin. Later, Fairfax Murray became very closely connected to the Pre-Raphaelite artists, assisting William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. During his travels to Italy for the Director of the National Gallery and other institutions, Fairfax Murray built his own Italian old masters collection. Fairfax Murray continued to collect various artists’ work and rare books throughout his life.
