(1823 - 1902)
Landscapist Charles Thomas Burt exhibited 18 works at the Royal Academy, six at the British Institution and six at the Royal Society of British Artists (1846-92). By 1846 he was based in Coventry. In 1895 an exhibition of his oil paintings was held at Graves’ Galleries, Pall Mall. Burt died aged 79, at his home near Birmingham. He was described in an obituary as Colonel Charles T. Burt, ‘one of the best-known landscape artists in the Midlands… widely known as a Volunteer, and as a crack shot, and was for many years captain and a foremost member of the English Twenty [a club restricted to the 20 best shots of the volunteer servicemen], and went with them to America.’ In 1881 he served as commander of the First Warwickshire Rifle Volunteers.
