William Mark Fisher studied drawing at the Lowell Institute in Massachusetts during the winter months as a boy. He was fortunate enough to be introduced to George Inness, who Fisher recalls found him to be “…a most promising youth and it was finally arranged I should go and stay with him as a pupil without fees.” Fisher was encouraged to finish his studies in Paris, where he studied under Marc Gabriel Charles Gleyre as a pupil until 1864 when Gleyre's health began to fail. During this time, he was heavily influenced by his classmates Monet, Sisley and Renoir, but would never experience the same career trajectory due in large part to his choice to leave France and return home. Upon returning to Boston, he found little market for his works and after a time of struggle decided to return to France in 1871. After a year in France, Fisher left for England, where he would eventually make his permanent residence in Harlow, Essex. There, he found an active market for his work and was an almost immediate success. Fisher is considered one of the first artists to have introduced the impressionistic style to England, where he was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, eventually showing more than 100 works. He was awarded the A.R.A. in 1911 and R.A. in 1919, as well as full membership in the New English Art Club and president of the Essex Club. His works are held in numerous museums, including a large collection in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Tate Gallery in London. When writing about Fisher in S.G.W. Benjamin's Contemporary Art in Europe, the author observed that having found little success in his native land, he had to leave to find appreciation for his work. In his 1893 book Modern Painting, George Moore wrote that Fisher was England's greatest living landscape painter.

By Jules Pierre van Biesbroeck
Located in Paris, FR
Woman in a garden. Oil sketch on cardboard. Unsigned. This work will be recorded in the catalogue raisonné of the work of the artist currently in preparation. Jules Van Biesbroeck was the son of Jules Evariste van Biesbroeck, a painter of Ghent, but was born in Italy, in Portici, near Naples, while his parents were staying there. (In the 19th century many artists made educational trips to Italy). It was a long visit: the child was two years old by the time the family returned to Ghent.[1] After a short period of practice with his father, van Biesbroeck was enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. His first painting, "The Shepherd" (French: Le pâtre), was sold at the Triennale in Ghent. In 1888, when he was only 15 years old, he made his debut at the "Salon des Champs-Elysées" in Paris with his monumental work "The Launch of the Argo" (French: Le lancement...
