Edward Millington Synge (1860 - 1913)

 

. . . . . .He was born in Great Malvern in 1860, in Worcestershire to an old Irish Family , and educated at the Norwich Grammar School and Trinity College, Cambridge; He was named " Millington after Canon. Millington, who, in the, 16th century, was, , on account of. his musical talents, .summoned to sing at the Court' .He made such an impression that, by Royal Command, hit name was changed from.Millington to Synge (pronounced Sing). Educated first aC the Grammar School at Norwich, the under Dr. . Jessopp, E. M. Synge passed on to Haileybury college and Trinity college, Cambridge; where he took : honour in the Classical.Tripos. Owing to delicacy of health, he trained for land agency in Shropshire, and later was appointed ;agent .to large estates in Surrey and Sussex, makng his home at Weybridge.He had always;. employed his 'pare time with a pencil,but one day a notice, " Etching taught here," in a shop window attracted his attention, and he took some lessons in the rudiments of copper-plate etching. ,In 1891, he joined the evening daIS at the Westminster School 'of Art, then under Mouat Loudan, travelling to town' for two hours' work whenever hit time permitted. . ' ,

Meanwhile, his spare time In holidays were devoted to etching, in which he had the benefit of advice and encouragement from Mr. Franke Short. Further kindly help \V;ts given by Sir Seymour Haden, President of the Royal Society of Painter Etchers, who, in 1897, looked through and ;advised on his work. The following year, E. M. Synge was eIected an Associate of the Royal Society of Painter Etchers, and exhibited two etchings of Weybridge, together with subjects from Amsterdam, Zaandan and Hampstead Heath. In 1899, one of his etchings, " The Blacksmith's Shop," was hung at the Royal Academy, and two years later found him exhibiting at the Salon, which, in 1903, he exchanged for the Champ de Mars, where he has exhibited since,. In 1901 he resigned his land agency in order to devote his while time to Art. He went first to Paris Here he obtained an introduction lo Carolus Durant, to whom he showed his etchings which met with the Master's approval that he advised Mr. Synge to work in his own Studio, bringing him the result for criticism, rather than that he should attend the French Schools.

During his stay in Paris he devoted much of his time to illustrating .. The Story oE the World," by his sister, M.' B. Synge.

The autumn of 1902: found him working in Rome, under M. Ferdinand Sabatté, who, having Won the Prix de Rome, was living at the Villa Medid. Mr.Synge etched subjects at Assili, Venice, Pont Aven, ete.,he went to Spain in 1907, where some of his best work was done. Of later Years Mr. Synge has entire!y done his own printing, in which he is now ably helped bf his artist wife in their very charming Surrey Studio. . . .from an early exhibition sheet

He executed about 370 plates, many of which were for The Art Journal, and The Graphic. He visited Venice in 1906.
