Edwin Austin Abbey, born in Philadelphia on April 1, 1852, was an artist whose career unfolds before us like a colorful painting. His artistic development began with simple illustrations for magazines such as Harper's Weekly and Scribner's Magazine. His creative line was influenced by European black and white art, and his skills grew visibly as he illustrated the works of Charles Dickens, Robert Herrick, and Oliver Goldsmith. With these works, Abbey proved that he was as skilled with a pen as other artists were with a brush.
In 1878, at the request of his employers, Abbey moved to England to illustrate the poetry of Robert Herrick. His illustrations were so successful that he eventually settled in England. In 1883, he was elected to the prestigious Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colors. It was around this time that Abbey began to become known for his paintings as well. His watercolor "The Evil Eye" and other works such as "The Rose in October," "An Old Song," "The Visitors," and "The Jongleur" have lost none of their original magic to this day. Abbey also created wonderful pastels such as "Beatrice," "Phyllis," and "Two Noble Kinsmen," which demonstrate his extraordinary ability to master the gentle tones of this technique. Abbey first showcased his skills with oils in 1890 with his painting "A May Day Morn." His participation in the Royal Academy in London marked an important milestone in his career. Equally notable was his commission of the painting for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1901, which earned him well-deserved recognition.
The 1890s took Abbey to the Boston Public Library, where he created an impressive series of murals. The series, depicting "The Quest and Attainment of the Holy Grail," was a massive undertaking that took Abbey eleven years to complete in his English studio. It was a true masterpiece that continues to impress visitors to the library today with its ingenuity and perfect craftsmanship. An art print of one of his works from this series would certainly enhance any home or office. Another project Abbey undertook was the creation of a series of murals and artwork for the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This ambitious project, begun in 1908, presented the ultimate challenge to his artistic abilities. Unfortunately, his health deteriorated at this time and he was unable to complete all of the works himself. Edwin Austin Abbey left an impressive artistic legacy. His works are exhibited in many prestigious museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Although Abbey is no longer with us, his presence remains in the masterpieces he left behind. He is proof that true art can transcend time and space, touching the hearts and souls of people long after the artist's death.
