Charles Joseph Frederick Ewart is a British Romanticism artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Charles Joseph Frederick Ewart painted quiet watercolours of ancient ruins and landscapes. In 1842 he captured the crumbling Theatre with its Sarcophagus and Harpy Tombs in Xanthus, Turkey. That same year he sketched the Xanthus River flowing past the same site. Years later he showed the towering Cedars of Lebanon in 1861. His careful brushwork records real places, not imagined scenes. Tap Monumental Gateway, Patara, Turkey to step into his 1842 view of another Lycian gate.
