High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sir George Scharf KCB (16 December 1820 – 19 April 1895) was an English art critic, illustrator, and director of the National Portrait Gallery. Scharf was born at 3 St Martin's Lane, London, the son of George Johann Scharf, a Bavarian miniature painter, and older brother to Henry Scharf, actor and illustrator. He was educated at University College school, and after studying under his father and obtaining medals from the Society Arts, entered the schools of the Royal Academy in 1838. In 1840 Sir Charles Fellows engaged Scharf to join him on his second journey to Asia Minor and on the way spent some time in Italy. Three years later he again visited Asia Minor in the capacity of draughtsman. He made drawings of views and antiquities from Lycia, Caria, and Lydia, which are now in British Museum. A selection of these illustrations with text by Sir Charles Fellows was published in 1847.
