Thomas Benjamin Kennington (1856-1916) Figurative Paintings

British, 1856-1916

Thomas Benjamin Kennington was an English genre, social realist and portrait painter. He was a founding member of the New English Art Club (NEAC) and the Imperial Arts League. Kennington was born in Grimsby in Lincolnshire in 1856 and trained in art at the Liverpool School of Art (winning a gold medal), the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London, and the Académie Julian in Paris, where he studied under Bouguereau and Robert-Fleury. He later moved to Chelsea in London. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, London from 1880–1916, and also regularly showed his work at the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) in Suffolk Street and the Grosvenor gallery. He won a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1889. Kennington became known not only for his idealized paintings of domestic and everyday-life scenes but also for his social realist works.
