Edwin Long

Edwin Long

Edwin Longsden Long RA (1829 – 1891) was an English painter.

Long was born in Bath, Somerset and died of pneumonia. He was an orientalist, depicting Biblical and Middle Eastern subjects with astute accuracy, and a romanticist. In 1854, under the advice of the artist John Phillip, he travelled abroad to Spain, and later to Egypt and Syria. This inspired him to create his more lucrative paintings, such as "The Babylonian Marriage Market".
