About the Item

Frank Lewis Emanuel 1865 - 1948 By the River, Montreuil Oil on board, signed and inscribed on reverse Image size: 13 1/4 x 10 inches (33.5 x 25.5 cm) Contemporary hand made frame Frank Lewis Emanuel, also known as Frank L Emanuel, was a painter, printmaker, draughtsman and writer. He spent most of his life in his hometown of London.Born in Bayswater in 1865, the artist died only a twenty minute walk away in Kensington in 1948. In his youth the artist assisted in classes at the University College London. Later on he studied under Alphonse Legros, at the Slade School of Fine Art, and under William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury at the Académie Julian in Paris. Emanuel had a varied career and travelled widely in Europe (including France, Belgium and the Netherlands), Africa and Ceylon. Emanuel was the founder and Honorary Secretary of the Society of Graphic Art, a member of the Society of Marine Artists and worked as an examiner for the Royal Drawing Society. He also taught etching at the public school ofThe Central School of Arts & Crafts between 1928 and 1930. This school would later become the London Institute in 1986 and would merge with Saint Martin's School of Art to form Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design in 1989. Emanuel exhibited in several main galleries including at the Royal Academy from 1886. Indeed, he exhibited here almost annually for over forty years. He also exhibited at Walker Art Gallery, Manchester Academy of Fine Art, New English Art Club and the Paris Salon. His work was further popularised through his publication of postcards by the well-known firm Raphael Tuck & Sons. Emanuel's work is currently held by institutions including the Tate Gallery, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ashmolean Musuem, the Imperial War Museum, Guildhall Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Emanuel has created a definite sense of peace and serenity in this fine en plein air work.  His loose, light brushstrokes capture the dappled light streaming through the trees, and the glassy reflection on the stream's surface effortlessly leads the viewer into the midst of this wooded landscape.
