William Salter (artist)

William Salter (1804-1875) was an English portrait painter of the 19th century.

He was born and educated in Honiton, Devon. His most famous work is "The Waterloo Banquet" (1836) in Apsley House, which depicts a commemorative banquet held by the Duke of Wellington at his London home on the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo.

Salter painted 83 portraits, mainly of military figures, that are held by the National Portrait Gallery. His picture of "Socrates before his Judges" won him election to the Royal Academy.
