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.

A Young Woman With Her Dog by Victor Ravet
Located in Stockholm, SE
In this exquisite painting by Victor Ravet, we are transported to an elegant interior setting reminiscent of the grandeur of high-class homes. The focal point is a woman adorned in a shimmering pink gown, radiating grace and sophistication. Bathed in gentle light, her dress catches the glimmer, accentuating her beauty. She holds a treat for a dog in her hand, enticing the furry companion who stands on its hind legs in eager anticipation. The canine's eyes fixated on the delicious morsel, capturing a moment of playful interaction between the woman and her loyal companion. The scene takes on a narrative quality as the young woman's other hand delicately lifts a curtain, hinting at another room beyond. This subtle gesture adds depth to the composition, suggesting a world of hidden secrets and intriguing possibilities within the opulent surroundings. Victor Ravet took inspiration from the Dutch Golden Age painters of the 17th century, such as Vermeer, Jacob Ochtervelt, and Gerrit Dou. This homage to their style and subject matter pays tribute to the timeless allure of domestic scenes, capturing a slice of life in a bygone era. With meticulous attention to detail, Ravet masterfully recreates the textures and fabrics, immersing the viewer in the sumptuousness of the period. The soft play...
