Lawson, CECIL (1851-82), landscape-painter, exhibited at the Academy in 1870, but remained obscure, many of his pictures being rejected by the Academy, till 1878, when his 'Minister's Garden' and a 'Pastoral' at the Grosvenor made him famous. The short remainder of his life was a brilliant success. See his Life by Gosse (1883).
