George Sheridan Knowles' paintings: the Beauty of ingenuity and of naivety.

Nato a Manchester, il 25 novembre 1863 George Sheridan Knowles è conosciuto come un insigne pittore di quadri ad olio ed acquerellista che ha prodotto tele dai temi nostalgici, spesso in costume, con l'intento di evocare tempi e sentimenti trascorsi, tra cui i primissimi, timidi approcci dettati dalla passione, ma soprattutto l'ingenuità legata all'infanzia, e proprio per questo sua ricorrente romantica nostalgia fu molto apprezzato già in epoca vittoriana.

There they go ...

Egli studiò arte presso la Manchester School of Art e alla Royal Academy Schools, per giungere a dipingere sia tele accademiche che nostalgiche, ravvivate da colori luminosi e da un leggero tocco di pennello che proprio in quegli anni stava sperimentando l'impressionismo che, sfumando la scena, giunge ad acuirne il carattere evocativo.

Nel 1885, Knowles si era già trasferito a Londra quando le sue più grandi opere venivano esibite alle più famose mostre; divenne membro del Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, del Royal Institute of Painters in Oil Colours, del Royal Cambrian Academy, così come della Royal Society of British Artists trovando così la meritata gratificazione quando ancora era in vita, cosa che ahimè, non di tutti i più grandi artisti si può dire.

Ma mi astengo dal procedere a scrivere per lasciarvi ad osservare la delicatezza e la sensibilità di questo artista che diede vita a dei dipinti caratterizzati da una tale soavità, suggestivi ed elegiaci al punto da divenire persino toccanti.

A presto miei cari ♥

Born in Manchester, on November 25th, 1863 George Sheridan Knowles is known as a famous painter of oil and watercolor paintings who produced painter by nostalgic themes, often in costume, with the intent to evoke past times and feelings, among which the very first, timid approaches dictated by passion, but above all the ingenuity linked to childhood, and for this recurring romantic nostalgia og his he was already much appreciated at his time, the Victorian age.

He studied at the Manchester School of Art and at the Royal Academy Schools, to come to paint both canvases academic and nostalgic, revived by bright colors and a slight touch of the brush that was adopted just in those years by the impressionism, which, blurring the scene, increases its evocatice character.

In 1885, Knowles had already moved to London when his greatest works were exhibited at the most famous exhibitions; he became a member of The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, of The Royal Institute of Painters in Oil Colours, of The Royal Cambrian Academy, as well as of The Royal Society of British Artists so finding a well-deserved reward when he was still alive, which, alas, not all of the greatest artists can be said.

But I restrain myself from going on writing to let you observe the delicacy and the sensitivity of this artist who gave life to paintings characterized by so much sweetness, evocative and elegiac as to become even touching.
