Businessman turned painter, Armstrong joined the Paris Gang in the 1850s, studying under Ary Scheffer. He returned via Germany and
North Africa and began painting in a realist manner. Later work shows the
influence of Moore and Whistler: Armstrong
would already have met the latter in Paris. He became Artistic Director of the
South Kensington (i.e. V&A) Museum.
