Biography
painter, came to Victoria as a baby in 1851 and returned to England in 1873, aged twenty-three. For twenty years from 1877 he exhibited genre and historical paintings in London, including three at the Royal Academy, eleven at Suffolk Street and ninety-four with the Old Watercolour Society. When Gregory showed an oil painting, Thorns , at the 1886 Colonial and Indian Exhibition in London the catalogue gave his address as Parliament House, Melbourne, but this was subsequently corrected to 'late of Melbourne, now Bridgefoot House, Ripley, Surrey’. Gregory’s youthful Australian years were also artistically productive. He painted numerous watercolours of ships, including Sailing Ship Preussen , S.S. Katoomba , City of Hobart , Sophia Jan e and Wreck of the Admella among a large collection in the La Trobe Library. According to McCulloch, he also drew native birds. This entry is a stub.
