About the Item

Herbert Gustave Schmalz Anyone for Croquet, circa 1898 Signed lower right Oil on canvas 47 5/8 x 31 3/4 inches Provenance Anthony Mitchell, Nottingham Burlington Gallery Ltd., London (acquired from the above in 1988-89) Tremaine Arkley, Independence, Oregon (acquired from the above in 1989) Exhibited Dublin Academy, 1898. Herbert Gustave Schmalz, the son of Margaret and Gustave Schmalz, was born in Ryton, North East England, in 1856. His mother was the eldest daughter of painter James Wilson Carmichael, and his father was a trader who eventually served as the Prussian consul in Newcastle upon Tyne. After attending the South Kensington Art School and then the Royal Academy of Arts, where he studied under Frank Dicksee, Stanhope Forbes, and Arthur Hacker, he had a traditional painting education. At the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, he refined his studies. Upon returning to London, he established himself as a history painter, drawing inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelites and orientalism. In 1884, he showcased his painting "Too Late" at the Royal Academy, which was well-received. Following a trip to Jerusalem in 1890, he created a series of paintings based on New Testament themes, with "Return from Calvary" (1891) being one of the most recognized. After 1895, Schmalz shifted his focus to portrait painting. In 1900, he held a significant solo exhibition titled "A Dream of Fair Women" at the Fine Art Society on Bond Street.
