In 1843 he gained one of the first three prizes Offered for designs for the decoration of the Houses of Parliament, the subject he chose being Caractacus led in triumph through the streets of Rome. It was never executed, and the cartoon was cut up and sold; portions of it are to be seen in Nos. 92, 93, 96, and 125. With the £300 thus gained the artist determined to go abroad, and after a short time in Paris proceeded to Florence, where he remained four years as the guest of Lord Holland, the British Minister at the Grand Duke's Court. During this period he painted many portraits of distinguished people.
Returning to England in 1847, he took part in the third competition for the decoration of the Houses of Parliament, his subject this time being Alfred inciting his subjects to prevent the landing of the Danes, or the first naval victory of the English. He was again successful, Winning this time a first prize of £500. The cartoon was bought by the Government, and the artist was commissioned to paint a fresco of St. George and the Dragon for ahall in the House of Lords. This work, begun in 1848 and finished in 1853, has since perished. Another wall painting by him in the hall of Lincoln's Inn, somewhat later in date, has been rescued from a similar fate.
