Nicol exhibited at the Royal Academy and was made an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1866 Related Paintings of Erskine Nicol :. | Portrait of Professor Benjamin H Rand | La Tete de la caravane (mk32) | den 30 november 1718 | And in the morning i took the bible and beginning at the new testament i began seriously to read it | Une etude de femme d'apres nature dit aussi Portrait de Madame Soustras | Related Artists:
MOLENAER, Jan MienseDutch painter (b. ca. 1610, Haarlem, d. 1668, Haarlem).
Dutch painter and draughtsman. The surprisingly large oeuvre of this remarkably versatile genre painter displays an inventive symbolism, wit and humour, which identify him as the true forerunner of Jan Steen.
Charles Ricketts1866-1931
English painter, designer, writer and collector. He trained as an illustrator at the City and Guilds Technical Art School, Lambeth, London, where he met and formed a lifelong relationship with CHARLES HAZELWOOD SHANNON. He identified with the ideals of the Aesthetic Movement, finding inspiration in Renaissance art as well as in the French artists Gustave Moreau and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. In 1888 he took over James Abbott McNeill Whistler's house, The Vale, in Chelsea and drew together an artists' colony. Inspired by the work of A. H. Mackmurdo and William Morris, he set up a small press over which he exercised complete control of design and production, producing art journals and books that included Oscar Wilde's A House of Pomegranates (1891) and The Sphinx (1894). Ricketts later designed founts, initials, borders and illustrations for the Vale Press (1896-1904), blending medieval, Renaissance and contemporary imagery.
