About the Item
Lillian Mathilde Genth
Golden Harbor, Gloucester, circa 1910
Signed lower right, titled in graphite on verso
Oil on canvas
20 x 25 inches
Born in Philadelphia, Lillian Mathilde Genth studied art at the Pennsylvania School of Design for Women (now the Moore College of Art and Design) and then for a year with James McNeill Whistler in Paris. Whistler's focus was on female nudes in pastoral settings; and this focus likely influenced Genth to turn in 1906 from landscape painting to depicting beautiful women, primarily nudes in outdoor settings, posing her models away from prying eyes at her woodland summer home in the Connecticut Berkshire Mountains. Such nudes are the works for which Genth is mostly known.
However, after producing about 150 of these nudes and gaining significant critical and financial recognition for them including exhibiting throughout the 1910s and the 1920s in the United States, Canada and South America, in the late 1920's Genth declared that she would never paint another one. On August 12, 1928, she even issued a press release to announce her decision, "Miss Genth begs to announce that she has definitely discontinued painting nudes. ... Money ... must be subordinate to art."" From then on, she painted only portraits along with scenes of her travels.
Between 1926 and 1927 she traveled throughout Spain. Her paintings from this time show her passion and admiration for Spanish culture and include images of powerful women in vibrant colors. She then traveled to North Africa, Japan, China, Fiji, Bali, New Guinea, and Thailand where she was commissioned to paint a portrait of the King. She always traveled alone and carried all of her materials and paintings with her.
When she returned from her extended trip to Asia in 1931, she announced that she would cease painting European and African subjects and focus on the Orient, which she then did. When asked her reasoning for again changing her subjects, she simply said, “People live in cycles." She lived in New York City for the rest of her life.
Genth was awarded a number of prestigious art prizes beginning 1904. In 1908 she was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate Academician, an important honor bestowed by her professional peers and a particular distinction at the time for a woman. Her work is part of the collections of the National Gallery, Washington, D.C., the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, the Brooklyn Institute Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, among others.

Henry Bayley Snell (1858 - 1943)
Henry Bayley Snell was born in Richmond, England, on September 29, 1858 and immigrated to the United States at the age of seventeen. He studied at the Art Students League in New York while working for an etching and engraving company where he began a lifelong friendship with fellow artists, William Langson Lathrop. While in New York Snell met another artist, named Florence Francis, also of English descent, whom he would eventually marry in 1888. It is believed that they first came to Bucks County in 1898 to visit the Lathrops at Phillips Mill.
Snell was a beloved teacher at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women from 1899 to 1943, and often took his art classes abroad during the summer. He would frequently visit his native England, spending time at the art colony of St. Ives on the coast of Cornwall. Snell would summer in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Boothbay Harbor, Maine, where he also held painting classes. Almost all the women who exhibited with “The Philadelphia Ten” had studied with Snell either in Philadelphia or New England. Snell also taught on Saturdays at the Grand Central Galleries in New York City.
The Snells made many trips to New Hope before settling there permanently in 1925. They lived on the top floor of the Solebury National Bank Building where Henry also maintained a studio. This was located at the foot of the New Hope-Lambertville Bridge and many of Snell’s New Hope scenes were painted from this location. In 1943, Snell passed away in New Hope at the age of eighty-four.
Henry Snell earned an international reputation as an artist for his paintings of Cornwall...
