About the Item

A very early, seminal work by this highly important British artist dating to 1893. The artist was a good friend of John Singer Sargent and they painted together around Europe. The painting is imbued with a most attractive twilight atmosphere and the brushwork has an immediacy to it which corresponds to the plein air tradition of painting on the spot. Interestingly, it is signed " von Glehn" which the artist was later to change to "de Glehn" in the face of anti-German sentiment leading up to the First World War. Wilfred Gabriel de Glehn (1870-1951) A twilight landscape. Northern France Signed and dated, " WG von Glehn/ 1893" Oil on canvas 24 x 20 inches with frame 28 x 24½ inches without the frame Wilfred Gabriel de Glehn was born in London and studied at the South Kensington Schools and École des Beaux-Arts, Paris. The family name was originally von Glehn, but was changed in 1917 by deed poll. Married to the painter Jane de Glehn. Early on in his career de Glehn began exhibiting at the Paris Salon, RA and NEAC, as well as Fine Art Society, Leicester Galleries RP, RA, RHA and at many other venues. First one-man show at Carfax Gallery, 1908. De Glehn travelled widely, which provided many of his subjects and additional exhibition venues. He was a painter of beautiful people and places, rather in the manner of John Singer Sargent, whose friend and painting companion he was. Elected RA, 1932, having been elected NEAC in 1900 and RP in 1904. David Messum held an exhibition in 1989; in 1994 a show of both de Glehns entitled The American Connection; and a major exhibition in 2003, to coincide with the publication of Laura Wortley’s biography Wilfrid de Glehn RA A Painter’s Journey. Lived at Stratford Tony, near Salisbury, Wiltshire. Source: Artists in Britain Since 1945 by David Buckman
