in 1851 and lived briefly in Cleveland, Ohio, before settling in Southampton in
1857. Herkomer was a very versatile individual. He became ARA in 1879 and a
full Academician in 1890. In 1899 he was ennobled by Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany,
being permitted to change his name to "von Herkomer". He built a grandiose house
in Bushey, Herts, named "Lululaund" after his second wife who was tragically
killed in a road accident. He founded a School of Art at Bushey in 1883. He
succeeded John Ruskin as Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford from 1885 to
1894. He was knighted in 1908.
