Howard's art teachers were Alphonse Legros and Giovanni Costa, and he belonged to the 'Etruscan School'[6] of painters. He married Rosalind Frances Stanley in 1864, but did not share her campaigning interests, although he supported temperance. He was a friend of, and a patron to, a number of the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, being particularly close to Edward Burne-Jones.[7]

The Howards lived in London in Kensington, in a house at 1 Palace Green,[8] built for them by Arts and Crafts architect Philip Webb in 1870,[9] and at Naworth Castle. Among their visitors at Naworth were Robert Browning, William Ewart Gladstone, Lewis Carroll, Alfred, Lord Tennyson and many others stayed with them at Naworth.[10] William Morris was an intimate friend, and his wallpapers were used in Kensington, at Naworth Castle and at Castle Howard when George inherited it.[11] With Morris and Webb he was one of the founding members of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.[12]

Collections

Howard's work can be found in a number of public and private collections, including the Tate,[13] York Art Gallery, the Government Art Collection,[14] the National Portrait Gallery, the Ashmolean Museum, the Delaware Art Museum, the Castle Howard collection and the British Library.

Political career

Howard was Liberal Party Member of Parliament for East Cumberland between 1879 and 1880 and again between 1881 and 1885. He succeeded in the earldom in 1889 on the death of his uncle William Howard, 8th Earl of Carlisle. He was a trustee of the National Gallery.[15]
