George Elgar Hicks (1824 - 1914) England
Oil on Canvas
Measure 26"in H x 22"in W
Known for: Portrait, figure and large-scale genre painting
Biography: Born on 13 March 1824 in Lymington, Hampshire, George Elgar Hicks was the second son of a wealthy magistrate. His parents encouraged Hicks to become a doctor, and so Hicks studied medicine at University College from 1840 to 1842. However, after three years' "ardous and disagreeable study," Hicks decided he wanted to be an artist. Due to these circumstances, Hicks began training considerably later in life than most artists of the time. In 1843, Hicks attended Sass's Academy, and by 1844 he had entered the Royal Academy Schools. In 1859, Hicks painted his first large genre painting, Dividend Day at the Bank of England (exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1859) following the success of Frith's paintings Ramsgate Sands and The Derby Day at the Royal Academy. It was a typical genre painting, showing a scene from the Bank of England and featuring a broad range of social classes. By the late 1860s, the popularity of genre painting had declined and Hicks began to focus on historical subjects, leading to society portraiture in the 1870s. In 1884, Hicks remarried following the death of Maria in 1881. He retired in the 1890s and died a month before the declaration of World War I in 1914.Coral Gables Auction strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.Condition
