John Frederick Lewis Biography
English Oriental artist
|
||||||
| John Frederick Lewis was born in London, where his father was an engraver, who gave his son lessons in draughtsmanship. From an early age Lewis was a proficient watercolour painter. John Frederick Lewis was a full member of the Old Watercolour Society whist still in his twenties. In the late 1820s, the artist travelled to Europe, & in 1832 travelled to Morocco, which must have stimulated his interest in Arab life & customs. In 1841 John Frederick Lewis travelled overland to Cairo, & stayed there for over nine years. During his stay the artist ‘went native,’ adopting Arab dress & customs. |
|
||||||
| Lewis exhibited at the OWS on his return to England in 1850, where John Frederick Lewis paintings were extremely well-received. In 1855 the artist was elected President of the Old Watercolor Society, though by that time John Frederick Lewis was turning increasingly to painting in oil. | |||||||
|
There were
probably a number of reasons for this.
Firstly the permanence of oils. Secondly the
greater scope it gave him. Thirdly the far
greater recognition, & hence financial
rewards. Lewis became an Associate of the
Royal Academy, & a full member in 1865. John Frederick Lewis was amongst the very greatest artists of his day, & his pictures are beautifully painted, subtle, & fastidious. Nowadays they bring very high prices. |
