George Elgar studied medicine at University College, but after three years of study Hicks decided he wanted to be an artist. He entered the Royal Academy of Arts. In 1847 he married Hicks Maria Hariss, with whom he had eight children. First, he has not had much success as an artist, as was too busy family life. Only in 1859, his first serious work was a large canvas "Divident Day at the Bank of England" in the style of William Powell Frith, which Hicks exhibited at the Royal Academy. In the sixties, he will do more of these monumental works, often commissioned. In 1870 Hicks switched to portraiture, in romanticized, etheticistische style with which he had great success in London society. Prior to 1900, he continued to work in his studio in London. He has written more everyday genre scenes, but is known as a portraitist and a painter of historical genre. In his paintings there is the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites. George Elgar Hicks died in 1914 at the age of ninety years.
