Henry Bayley Snell Paintings
American, 1858-1943
Born in Richmond, England, on September 29, 1858, Henry Bayley Snell was the son of Edward and Elizabeth Snell. At the age of seventeen Henry immigrated to the United States and studied painting at the Art Students League in New York. In 1888 he married the artist Florence Francis, who was also a native of England. In the early 1880s Snell worked for a printing and etching house called the Photoengraving Company, where he met another aspiring young artist, William L. Lathrop. The two quickly became friends, and in the mid-1880s spent several weeks sailing and painting on Lake Erie near Lathrop's ancestral home in Painesville, Ohio. They also traveled to England together in 1888. The Snells' first visit to Bucks County may have been as early as 1898, when Lathrop made his first visit to the area. Henry and Florence spent many Sunday afternoons at the Lathrop home at Phillips Mill. Around 1925 the Snells settled permanently in New Hope, where they rented the top floor of the Solebury Bank building at the corner of Bridge and Main. The Philadelphia School of Design for Women (now the Moore College of Art and Design) in Philadelphia offered Snell a teaching position in 1899, which he accepted, remaining on the faculty until his death in 1943. Considered the most influential teacher on the staff, Snell taught many of the women who would eventually form the group called the Philadelphia Ten. Frequently returning to his native England to paint, especially to the artist colony at St. Ives on the coast of Cornwall, Snell often took along students from his classes. He was well known for marine scenes as well as landscapes painted around New Hope, particularly from his apartment. He taught in the summers at Gloucester, Massachusetts (1916-1920), and at Boothbay Harbor, Maine (1921-1927). Snell was named assistant director of fine arts for the U.S. Commission to the Paris Exposition of 1900, and was elected to the National Academy of Design in 1906. He also served as president of the New York Water Color Club. Snell continued to participate and win prizes in many of the major exhibition events of the early 1900s, including the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915 in San Francisco, where he was awarded both gold and silver medals.to

Henry Bayley Snell (1858 - 1943)
Henry Bayley Snell was born in Richmond, England, on September 29, 1858 and immigrated to the United States at the age of seventeen. He studied at the Art Students League in New York while working for an etching and engraving company where he began a lifelong friendship with fellow artists, William Langson Lathrop. While in New York Snell met another artist, named Florence Francis, also of English descent, whom he would eventually marry in 1888. It is believed that they first came to Bucks County in 1898 to visit the Lathrops at Phillips Mill.
Snell was a beloved teacher at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women from 1899 to 1943, and often took his art classes abroad during the summer. He would frequently visit his native England, spending time at the art colony of St. Ives on the coast of Cornwall. Snell would summer in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and Boothbay Harbor, Maine, where he also held painting classes. Almost all the women who exhibited with “The Philadelphia Ten” had studied with Snell either in Philadelphia or New England. Snell also taught on Saturdays at the Grand Central Galleries in New York City.
The Snells made many trips to New Hope before settling there permanently in 1925. They lived on the top floor of the Solebury National Bank Building where Henry also maintained a studio. This was located at the foot of the New Hope-Lambertville Bridge and many of Snell’s New Hope scenes were painted from this location. In 1943, Snell passed away in New Hope at the age of eighty-four.

Early 20th Century Mission San Juan Capistrano - Figurative Landscape
By Warren E. Rollins
Located in Soquel, CA
Stunning figurative landscape of the Mission San Juan Capistrano by Warren Eliphalet Rollins (American, 1861-1962). Presented in a giltwood frame. "Capistrano" lower right, unsigned. This is a study for a larger painting of the same scene. Image size, 14.5"H x 21"W.
For many years Warren Eliphalet Rollins was known as the "Dean of the Santa Fe art colony."

He was a close friend of Carlos Vierra, Gerald Cassidy, Kenneth Chapman, Sheldon Parsons and most of the other famous artists who assembled in the New Mexican capital during the first half of this century.
Born in Carson City, Nevada, Rollins was raised in California and attended the San Francisco School of Design where he studied under Virgil Williams. At the completion of his studies, he was awarded the Avery Gold Medal and made Assistant Director of the school. Following his marriage in 1887, he and his wife settled in San Diego, and it was during this period that Rollins became interested in the Indian as subject matter. In search of material, Rollins, his wife, and their two daughters, Ramona and Ruth, traveled through every Western state from the Mexican to the Canadian borders. While in Montana, Rollins painted a portrait of Calamity Jane...
