Biography: Augustus John, in full Augustus Edwin John, (born January 4, 1878, Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales—died October 31, 1961, Fordingbridge, Hampshire, England), Welsh painter who was an accomplished portraitist, muralist, and draughtsman. John studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1894 to 1898. By age 20 he had won a reputation as one of the most brilliant draughtsmen in England. His portraits and other paintings done around 1900 gained attention for their vigour and skillful technique. John was greatly influenced by the work of Old Master painters, especially Peter Paul Rubens, as can be seen in the strong and sensuous Smiling Woman (c. 1908), a portrait of John’s second wife, Dorelia. John was known as a colourful personality who adopted an individualistic and bohemian lifestyle. Intrigued by gypsy culture and the Romany language, he spent periods traveling with gypsy caravans over Wales, Ireland, and Dorset. He based much of his work on these experiences, such as the painting Encampment on Dartmoor (1906). John was more modern in his approach to landscape painting, as seen in the bright palette and loose brushwork of paintings such as Llyn Trewereyn (1911–12) and The Little Railway, Martigues (1928).

  • L'Etang a Ville d'Array (The Pond in Ville d'Array)
    By Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot
    Located in Saint Augustine, FL
    Artist: (after) Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (French, 1796-1875) Title: "L'Etang a Ville d'Array (The Pond in Ville d'Array)" Portfolio: Cent Chefs d'Oeuvre (Hundred Masterpieces of Work) *Issued unsigned, though signed by Giroux in the plate (printed signature) lower right Year: 1883 Medium: Original Etching on laid paper Limited edition: 600 Printer: Unknown, Paris?, France Publisher: Unknown, Paris?, France Framing: Framed in a silver Baroque style moulding with a 8-ply silver silk mat Framed size: 16.25" x 19" Image size: 6" x 10" Condition: Some light cosmetic wear to frame. In excellent condition Notes: This etching is after a painting of the same title by French artist Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-1875). Engraved by French artist Charles Giroux (1828-1885). This etching was exhibited at the "Cent Chefs d'Oeuvre" or "Hundred Masterpieces of Work", an exhibition held June 12, 1883 in the Gallery of Georges Petit, Paris, France. Georges Petit (1856-1920) was a French art dealer, a key figure in the Paris art world and an important promoter and cultivator of Impressionist artists. Biography: Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot (July 17, 1796 - February 22, 1875) was a French landscape painter and printmaker in etching. Corot was the leading painter of the Barbizon school of France in the mid-nineteenth century. He is a pivotal figure in landscape painting and his vast output simultaneously references the Neo-Classical tradition and anticipates the plein-air innovations of Impressionism. Camille Corot was born in Paris in 1796, in a house at 125 Rue du Bac, now demolished. His family were bourgeois people-his father was a wigmaker and his mother a milliner-and unlike the experience of some of his artistic colleagues, throughout his life he never felt the want of money, as his parents made good...
