Henry George Moon
English Vintage Oil Painting on Canvas, Spring Flowers

Circa 1880-1905

About the Item

English Still Life Floral Display with Daffodils by Henry George Moon (British 1857-1905) on linen canvas, unstretched, unframed, unsigned measurements: canvas 10 x 12 inches provenance: from the artists estate Condition report: Colours good, canvas not cut straight so the image size which may result from it being stretched onto a small frame would be approximately 8.5 x 10 inches. Paint somewhat sketchy and sparse in areas of the background and the green leaf foliage. Nicely executed still life which came along to us with good quality nudes and watercolours by this artist. Charming little oil which deserves a little frame. Henry George Moon, born in Barnet, England 1857. Moon developed his love for art at school and studied at the Birbeck and St Martins schools of art. Joining the art department of The Garden publication in 1880, Moon became their illustrator for many botanical and horticultural plates, he also painted for other publications including The English Flower Garden, and enjoyed landscape painting in his own spare time. Many of his landscapes were produced in the last twenty years of the 19th century, when he was greatly influenced by the work of American artist William Edward Norton. Four years (1885-1889) were dedicated to illustrating a great deal of Reichenbachia (orchid studies) for H F C Sander, printing plates from Moon's woodcut etchings. His name remains foremost among highly acclaimed botanical painters of the time. William Robinson particularly liked Moon's landscape work "I often thought that if less of his work had been given to plant drawing, how much better it would have been for landscape art". Moon remained a respected art critic, enjoying involvement among London sketching clubs (the Birbeck, the Gilbert Garrett etc), but after many years of frail health he died at just 48 in 1905.
