What inspired this Chart-Pattern:

Frank Cadogan Cowper was born in Wicken, Northamptonshire, son of an author and a naval architect; Frank Cowper, and grandson of the Rector of Wicken. He first studied art at St John's Wood Art School in 1896 and then went on to study at the Royal Academy Schools from 1897-1902. He first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1899, and achieved critical success two years later with his painting An Aristocrat answering the Summons to Execution. In 1902, he spent six months studying under Edwin Austin Abbey before travelling to Italy. He worked in both watercolors and oils, and also worked as book illustrator - providing the illustrations for Sir Sidney Lee's The Imperial Shakespeare. He contributed to a mural in the Houses of Parliament in 1910.As art fashion changed Cowper increasingly exhibited his portrait paintings but still continued to produce historical and literary works.
