Robert Ker Porter, (1777-1842), a Scottish artist, author, diplomat and traveller. Known today for his accounts of his travels in Russia, Spain, Portugal and Persia, he was one of the earliest panorama painters in Britain, was appointed historical painter to Tsar Alexander I of Russia and served as British consul in Venezuela. (Wikipedia). After a short stay with his brother at Bristol, he went to visit his daughter, who had married a Russian army officer, in St Petersburg. On 3 May 1842 he wrote from St Petersburg to his brother that he was about to sail for England, but died suddenly the next day as he was returning in his droshky (carriage) from a farewell visit to Emperor Nicholas I. He was buried in St Petersburg, and a monument was erected to his memory in Bristol Cathedral. (Wikipedia).
