Strutt was born on 4 August 1784 in Colchester, in Essex, one of eight children of Benjamin Strutt and Caroline, née Pollett.[2][a] In London, on 8 November 1813, he married Elizabeth Byron, with whom he had four children; their second son, Arthur John Strutt, was born in 1819.[2] Strutt moved to Lausanne in Switzerland in about 1830. With his son Arthur he travelled in France and Switzerland from 1835 to 1837, and later to Italy; they established a studio in Rome. He returned to England in 1851, and died in Rome in 1864[3] or 1867.[2]
Workedit
Strutt painted portraits and landscapes, mainly in gouache, in the style of Constable, with whom he may have studied.[3] He was also a capable engraver. He showed work in London between 1819 and 1858.[3] At the Royal Academy he exhibited from 1822 to 1852;[4]: 138 in 1822 and 1823 he showed portraits, but from 1824 until 1831 showed only woodland or forest scenes.[5]: 398 Two paintings were sent from Italy while he was living there: The Ancient Forum, Rome in 1845, and in 1851 Tasso's Oak, Rome.[2][6] He published two books of poetry in translation, and several books of engravings.[4]: 138
