Biography
Priest was born in Harborne in the West Midlands. After graduating from public school at King Edward's in nearby Birmingham, he attended Cope and Nicol's art school in Kensington. In 1897, while a student at the Royal Academy Schools, Priest was awarded the Turner Fund gold medal and scholarship. His primary instructors were John S. Sargent, W. Q. Orchardson, Solomon J. Solomon, John William Waterhouse, and George Clausen. He also studied sketching under Sir Frank Short. Later, Priest took up residence in Paris, occasionally studying in the ateliers at the Académie Julian.[3][4][5][6]
In 1904, Priest was employed by the Daily Chronicle as a celebrity sketch artist. In subsequent years, he visited cities in Spain, Holland, Switzerland, and Italy, where he gained inspiration for his landscape paintings. He also visited Australia and India, where his brother was stationed as a major in the Indian Army.[4][7][8]
Priest died nine days after suffering a stroke.[3]
