Foggo published in 1844 a catalogue of the pictures of the National Gallery, with critical remarks, the first attempt to make the collection intelligible to the public. Together with his brother, he was an unsparing critic of the Royal Academy and its system of education, and published some pamphlets on the subject. He was associated with other plans for the advancement of art, and was a man of great energy. He also published in 1853 the Adventures of Sir J. Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak. He died in London 26 September 1869, aged 76, and was buried with his brother James on the western side of Highgate Cemetery. (en) |
