Arthur Hopkins Art

British, 1848-1930

Arthur Hopkins was born only eight years after Hardy and lived to the age of 82. Hopkins was the son of a prosperous marine insurance agent and was born in Stratford, London. He was educated at Lancing College in Sussex and, after graduation, worked in a London office before entering the Royal Academy of Arts in 1872. He exhibited in various London galleries, chiefly that of the Royal Watercolour Society and that of the Royal Academy of Arts, but over twenty-five years also contributed illustrations to The Graphic, Punch, and The Illustrated London News. He was made an Associate of the Royal Watercolor Society in 1877, and a member in 1896. His brothers were also graphic artists: Everard (1860-1928) painted in watercolors as well; Edward was a black-and-white illustrator, and Gerard Manley Hopkins was a fine draftsman (as well as a renowned poet). Arthur Hopkins' genre scenes of country life are in much the style of another Paul Hardy illustrator, Helen Patterson Allingham. He was a member of the rising generation of illustrators influenced by George du Maurier and William Small. As Forrest Reid remarks, "a good draughtsman, with a strong dramatic sense, to which is added a sense of character."

Edouard Dufeu (1836-1900) A Fantastic scene by a lake, signed drawing
By Edouard-Jacques Dufeu
Located in Paris, FR
Edouard Dufeu (1836-1900) A Fantastic scene by a lake Charcoal on paper Signed lower right 23 x 30,5 cm Framed under glass : 42.5 x 51 cm This fantastic scene, the subject of which remains a mystery, reveals an aspect of Edouard Dufeu's personality in which he is more influenced by Romanticism. We can recognise his nervous, painterly style, which lends itself particularly well to this fantastic scene. Edouard Jacques Dufeu was born in Marseilles on 27 march 1836, and he died in Grasse on December 1 , 1900. He was a French painter and engraver . Coming from a family originally from Egypt, Dufeu moved to Paris in 1860 and frequented the studio of Charles Gleyre...
