About the Item

Bernard Sleigh 1872-1954, was an English mural and stained glass painter, illustrator, and landscape painter. He was best known for his fairyland pictures and was inspired by William Morris, after his training he became a commercial artist, which we believe is the theme with this pond farm picture. The scene is typical of his early tastes and produced around the area where he had lived earlier in his career. This picture is signed. I have included below an alternative biography of the artist. Bernard Sleigh (1872–1954) was a versatile English artist, illustrator, and craftsman deeply rooted in the Arts and Crafts movement. He is best remembered for his intricate wood engravings and his whimsical, map-based "fairylands." He was born in 1872 in Birmingham. At age 14, he was apprenticed as a wood engraver. He studied at the Birmingham School of Art under Arthur Gaskin. He was heavily inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites and the romantic medievalism of William Morris. Bernard Sleigh was known for exceptional skill in white-line engraving where he illustrated many books for the Presses of the era. He created large-scale decorative works for churches, including the St. Pancras Church in Euston. He was a central figure in The Birmingham Group this circle of artists who blended fine art with applied craftsmanship. He taught at the Birmingham School of Art for over 30 years, passing on traditional engraving techniques. "An Ancient Mappe of Fairyland" was his most iconic piece and was produced in 1917. It was a massive, detailed panorama depicting characters from European folklore, mythology, and nursery rhymes. This work is considered a precursor to modern fantasy world-building and this type of work and subject remains highly collectible today. He retired to Chipping Campden, a hub for Arts and Crafts practitioners. Later in life, he became fascinated with spiritualism and the occult, which influenced his later writings and drawings of fairies. He passed away in 1954.
