Everything about Charles Altamont Doyle totally explained
Charles Altamont Doyle (
1832 –
1893) was a
Victorian artist. He was the brother of the artist
Richard Doyle, and the son of the artist
John Doyle. Although the family was
Irish, Doyle was born and raised in
England.
In 1849 he moved to
Edinburgh where he met Mary Foley. They were married, and their children included
Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of
Sherlock Holmes.
Doyle wasn't as successful an artist as he wished, and suffered
depression and
alcoholism. His paintings, which were generally of fairies or similar fantasy scenes, reflected this, becoming more macabre over time.
In 1881 Doyle was committed to a nursing home specialising in alcoholism. While there, his depression grew worse, and he began suffering
epileptic seizures. Following a violent escape attempt he was sent to Sunnyside, Montrose Royal Lunatic Asylum, where he continued to paint. He died in Crighton Royal Institution in 1893.
An edition of
A Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle was published in 1888, with illustrations by Charles Doyle.
