COLE, VICAT (1833-1893), English painter, born at Ports mouth on April 17, 1833, was the son of the landscape painter, George Cole, and in his practice followed his father's lead with marked success. He became an Academician in 1880, and died in London on April 6, 1893. Most of his subjects were found in the counties of Surrey and Sussex, and along the banks of the Thames. One of his largest pictures, "The Pool of London," was bought by the Chantrey Fund Trustees in 1888, and is now in the Tate Gallery.
