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.

PROVENANCE Private Collector, Seville, Spain José Villegas Cordero (Seville, August 26, 1844-Madrid, November 9, 1921) was a Spanish painter. He directed the Prado Museum between 1901 and 1918. He was the brother of the painter Ricardo Villegas Cordero. He began his apprenticeship very young with José María Romero, with whom he remained for two years until entering the School of Fine Arts in Seville, where he was under the tutelage of Eduardo Cano. In 1860, when he was only 16 years old, he sold his work Little Philosophy for 2,000 reais at the Seville Exhibition. In 1867 he traveled to Madrid, where he entered Federico Madrazo's studio. There he established friendship with painters Eduardo Rosales and Fortuny. He went regularly to the Prado where he copied Velázquez, from whom he acquired spontaneity and the use of color for his technique. Finally, and out of admiration for Fortuny's orientalist painting, he returned to Seville and organized an excursion to Morocco. At the end of 1868 he decided to travel to Rome accompanied by the painters Rafael Peralta and Luis Jiménez Aranda...
