At sight without frame 10" x 8" George Armfield was a British genre artist specializing in oil paintings of domesticated dogs. Armfeld professed a great love of animals, and his commissions of hounds and horses were in high demand in his lifetime. Preferring to paint hunting dogs over any other popular subject matter, Armfeld’s broad, lively brush strokes captured the earthy colors of fur and grasses. Born George Armfield Smith in Wales in 1808, he was the son of portrait painter William Armfield Hobday, from whom he learned his craft. The precocious artist began his career at the young age of 16 when he exhibited his first painting at the Royal Academy: It was of Lion, a beloved Newfoundland dog. Armfield died in 1893. Many of his works where whimsical and protrayed dogs & puppies in humorous situations. Today, Armfield’s work is included in the collections of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Glasgow Art Gallery in Glasgow, Bangor Castle and the following galleries; Bury Art Museum Cliffe Castle Museum National Trust, Anglesey Abbey New Walk Museum & Art Gallery Newton Abbot Town & GWR Museum Preston Park Museum Shipley Art Gallery St. Helier Town Hall, Jersey The Whitaker Torre Abbey Museum Wolverhampton Art Gallery York Art Gallery.
