The Artist
William Monk R.E. (1863–1937) was a British etcher, wood-engraver and painter in oils and watercolours.
Born in Chester, the son of gunmaker William Henry Monk, he studied art at the Chester School of Art and etching at the Antwerp Academy, Belgium. He was an Associate of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers from 1884 and an elected full-member (R.E.) from 1899.
One of Britain’s most significant etchers, examples of his work can be found in the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Imperial War Museum. He exhibited at the Royal Academy on multiple occasions during his lifetime.
His 150th anniversary was celebrated by the Grosvenor Museum, Chester, with a major exhibition of his work: ‘A Vision of England: Etchings by William Monk’, 2013.
