Charles Edmund Brock Art

British, 1870-1938

Charles Edmund Brock was a widely published English painter, line artist and book illustrator, who signed most of his work C.E. Brock. He received his first book commission at the age of 20. He became very successful and illustrated books for authors such as Jonathan Swift, William Thackeray, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and George Eliot. Brock also contributed pieces to several magazines such as The Quiver, The Strand and Pearsons. In the realm of illustration, Brock is best known for his linework, but he was also a skilled colorist. As a painter he received plaudits for the realism and vibrancy he created in his work. Only a small quantity of his known paintings have been located.

"Meditation" Dutch Woman Sewing Interior Genre Home scene Fruit Flowers on Table

By Bernard De Hoog

Located in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Bernard de Hoog was born in Amsterdam in 1866. He studied under J.F. Hulk and J.C. van Essen at the Quellinus School in Amsterdam. Mainly a genre and portrait painter, he occupies a distinguished place among the masters of Dutch modernism. He was associated with The Hague School, primarily a movement of realism, a reaction against Romanticism. He lived and worked in Laren, Haarlem, Bussum, and The Hague enjoying much commercial success. His paintings were readily exported to the United State, Canada, and England. De Hoog advocated the simple country life and produced many endearing interior scenes inspired by compassion for the impoverished existence of the Dutch peasantry. Set within a quiet domestic interior space, our painting catches a meditative moment of a woman in the midst of her sewing. A large window illuminates this intimate interior. de Hoog’s delicate brushwork captures the sunlight reflected in the woman’s red dress...
