A Backward Glance (c.1870). Charles Edward Perugini (Italian-born English, 1839-1918). Oil on canvas..By 1855 Perugini had made the acquaintance of the British Neo-classical artist Frederic Leighton who was traveling and studying on the Continent. A strong friendship developed between the two and Leighton took the young artist under his wing, giving him great encouragement and financial support. Perugini moved to London in 1863 and exhibited at the RA that year. His style is rather similar to Leighton’s. -- source link
