Emil Fuchs, Member of the Royal Victorian Order, was an Austrian and American sculptor, medallist, painter and author who worked in Vienna, London and New York. He painted portraits of Queen Victoria and Edward VII and was fashionable among London high society in the early 20th century. He was born in Vienna on 9 August 1866. During his years in Austria, Germany and Rome he was a sculptor and medallist, who eventually began to study painting as well. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna under Edmund von Hellmer and Viktor Oskar Tilgner. Fuchs then attended the Prussian Academy of Arts in Berlin, where he studied under Fritz Schaper and Anton von Werner. From 1891–97, Fuchs was in Rome, having won the German Prix de Rome in 1891. While in Rome, he had an affair with Elvira Fraternali; this is referred to in the film D'Annunzio. He had a sister Renee and was a brother-in-law of Gustav Freytag. From 1897 to 1915, his address was in London where he regularly met with the artist Lawrence Alma-Tadema. Fuchs had been mainly a sculptor and medallist, but he began oil painting, especially portraiture in oils, in 1897; his early mentor was John Singer Sargent. He exhibited works at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1898 and he taught there. Fuchs was honored with the Royal Victorian Order (MVO) in 1909. While in England he was employed by the Birmingham Mint. By 1905, he had been teaching in Paris, Berlin, Munich, Vienna and Rome and was making winter trips to the United States. Fuchs began going to the United States in 1905, primarily to paint portraits of wealthy socialites. In 1915, during World War I, “a wave of anti-German sentiment” swept England so, to escape it he moved permanently to New York, producing more works there and offering assistance with the war effort. Fuchs became a United States citizen in 1924. He had surgery for cancer in 1928, and in anticipation of death with great suffering, he shot himself at the Hotel des Artistes in New York on 13 January 1929. He created a foundation that put his art on view as a permanent exhibit, and for this, he left $500,000 plus artworks to the public.

Venus
By James Abbott McNeill Whistler
Located in New York, NY
James Whistler (1834-1903), Venus, 1859. Etching and drypoint, printed in black ink on laid paper, an impression in the second (final) state: there was no published edition. 6 x 9 inches (15 x 22.6 cm) sheet 73/8 x 117/8 inches (18.8 x 30.3 cm) Reference: Kennedy 59; Glasgow 60 A very fine impression. A study of Héloïse, ‘Fumette’, asleep in bed, her head pressed into the pillow and the bedclothes covering her lower legs. This is one of three portraits Whistler made of Fumette in 1859: one of the others shows her standing and in the third only her head and shoulders are depicted. Venus is a work in the Realist tradition, and may be compared with Courbet’s nudes of the same period. The artist may also have had in mind Rembrandt’s study of Antiope in his etching Jupiter and Antiope. Venus was never published and there is no record of it being shown until 1898 when it was included in an Exhibition of Etchings, Drypoints and Lithographs by Whistler at H. Wunderlich & Co., New York. To have been overlooked for exhibition until so late in Whistler’s life might suggest that the subject was considered improper.

Old Vienna Castle Landscape
By Emil Fuchs
Located in Soquel, CA
Old Vienna Castle by Emil Fuchs (Austrian, 1866-1929). Presented in a rustic wooden frame. Signed "Emil Fuchs" and dated lower right. Titled on verso. Image: 27"H x 20.25"W. Framed: 32.5"H x 25"W. Emil Fuchs (1866 Vienna, Austria - 1929 NYC). Emil Taught at the Royal Academy in London, Paris Berlin, Munich, Vienna and Rome. Austrian sculptor, medallist and painter, he studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Vienna, and at the Berlin Akademie. He traveled to Rome before settling in London in 1897, exhibiting at the Royal Academy the following year. His sculptural oeuvre consists of large groups, portrait busts, statuettes and memorials in marble, bronze and silver. The bronze statue La pensierosa (New York, Met.) is a good example of his contemplative style, and the marble Mother-love (exh. London, RA, 1898; untraced, see autobiography, opp. p. 28) of his liking for melodramatic allegory; his memorials include The Sisters (marble; Liverpool, Walker A.G.). His paintings are mostly portraits, in a flashy style that owes much to his friend John Singer Sargent (e.g. Sir Joseph Duveen, 1903; London, Tate). Both his painted and sculpted portraits were immensely fashionable in Britain at the turn of the century, and he was taken up by the royal family, modelling a number of medals that were struck for Queen Victoria, portraying Princess Alexandra as the Princess of Pity (silver, 1900; London, BM) and executing a coronation medal for Edward VII (silver and bronze, 1902). He brought to the British medal...
