CONTACT US SKU#: 122610 US Shipping $120 + insurance. BIOGRAPHY: Henry Bacon was an American painter, author, illustrator, and translator. Before his formal training as an artist, he served as a soldier and war artist during the American Civil War, and was badly wounded in the Second Battle of Bull Run. He then studied in France, and became a member of the Pont-Aven School, painting genre subjects of French country life, many sold back in America. He first traveled to Egypt in 1897, and then developed an interest in Orientalist painting, soon spending his winters in the Middle East, dying in Cairo.A figure painter in the tradition of the late 19th century French tradition, Henry Bacon is associated primarily with watercolors of scenes of Normandy and Egyptian. Many of his landscapes have figures, well drawn and often romanticized bucolic, peasant types.He was also one of the first Americans to be admitted to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and became a promoter of the use of watercolor in pure washes, without opaque coloration. He also showed his genius for Impressionist effects of weather and light, particularly on reflective surfaces such as water.Not much is known from his early life except that he was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, and enlisted in the United States Army to serve in the Civil War where he was also a field artist for Leslie's Weekly.Wounded quite severely, he left the War in 1864 and went to Paris with his wife Lizzie. He studied under Alexandre Cabanel and in 1866, Edouard Frere took Bacon on as his student. From these men, both conservative academics, Bacon learned to paint in oils with a highly smooth finish with softly outlined figures and rich colors. But in 1895, he turned almost exclusively to watercolor for which he earned much acclaim.In Ecouen, Bacon and Frere painted many scenes of the French countryside together. In his lucid and virtuoso watercolors, Bacon showed his stylistic affinities to Winslow Homer and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. For many years, he exhibited paintings at the salons of Paris and at the National Academy of Design of which he was a member.His paintings are amongst the holdings of major museums across the U.S., including Bostons Museum of Fine Arts.

BIOGRAPHY: A figure painter in the tradition of the late 19th century French tradition, Henry Bacon is associated primarily with watercolors of scenes of Normandy and Egyptian. Many of his landscapes have figures, well drawn and often romanticized bucolic, peasant types.He was also one of the first Americans to be admitted to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and became a promoter of the use of watercolor in pure washes, without opaque coloration. He also showed his genius for Impressionist effects of weather and light, particularly on reflective surfaces such as water.Not much is known from his early life except that he was born in Haverhill, Massachusetts, and enlisted in the United States Army to serve in the Civil War where he was also a field artist for Leslie's Weekly.Wounded quite severely, he left the War in 1864 and went to Paris with his wife Lizzie. He studied under Alexandre Cabanel and in 1866, Edouard Frere took Bacon on as his student. From these men, both conservative academics, Bacon learned to paint in oils with a highly smooth finish with softly outlined figures and rich colors. But in 1895, he turned almost exclusively to watercolor for which he earned much acclaim.In Ecouen, Bacon and Frere painted many scenes of the French countryside together. In his lucid and virtuoso watercolors, Bacon showed his stylistic affinities to Winslow Homer and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. For many years, he exhibited paintings at the salons of Paris and at the National Academy of Design of which he was a member.His paintings are amongst the holdings of major museums across the U.S., including Bostons Museum of Fine Arts., 11 Bacons in the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

        HENRY BACON (1839-1912) SIGNED PAINTING

        Est: $3,000 - $4,000

        Henry Bacon (US/France 1839-1912). Large painting of a fantastic subject, done while Bacon was in Paris. The work features what appears to be a beautiful woman fallen asleep while awaiting her lover. The work is likely set in the Luxembourg Gardens, Paris. The work is oil on canvas. It is signed and dated, (1889) with "Paris" inscribed next to the signature. We believe this work was the basis for a well known print. The work is framed, in what is a period, likely the original, frame. The frame is in very good antique condition with expected rubbing to gilding and minor gesso loss to edges/corner. This is an important historic work of art by one of America's best 19th Century painters. It should be noted that Bacon was a Civil War veteran (wounded somewhat severely) and turned his wartime misfortune to become a well known and critically acclaimed painter of some renown. He exhibited at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1889. It is quite possible this painting was exhibited during this time. We have not been able to confirm this in our research as yet. This is a genuine showcase work of art and is a museum quality work. Measurements: 45 7/8" H x 30" W - Exterior Frame 39 3/8" H x 23 3/4" W - canvas/work
