British painter From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eugenio Honorius Nicholas Latilla[1] RBA (1808, London – 30 October 1861,[2] Chappaqua, New York) was an Anglo-Italian painter, architect, lecturer and author.
Eugenio Latilla was born in London, the son of a Neapolitan artist father and an English mother. The sculptor Horatia Augusta Latilla was his sister.[3] He exhibited five paintings (La Biondina in 1829; Richard Godson in 1832; Richard Godson and Mrs. Paget in 1833; H.R.H. The Princess Victoria in 1837)[4] at the Royal Academy.[5] From 1838 to 1851 he frequently exhibited at the Society of British Artists, of which he was a member. Latilla married Harriott Goodwin at St. Marylebone Church on 8 November 1831. In 1842 he went to Rome and painted there several works (including a pifferaro; Preparing for a Carnival; Abraham dismissing Hagar and Ishmael). In 1847–1848 Latilla was in Florence; there he painted several works (including Jane Shore's Penance) and exhibited them on his return to London.[6] In 1851 he emigrated to America with his family, consisting of his wife, one son and three daughters.[7] He spent the rest of his life working in New York City[8] and on projects in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Latilla was the architect for a Gothic cottage in Perth Amboy for Caroline Kirkland, a barn in Westchester County for Horace Greeley, and home decorations for Cyrus W. Field.[9]
