Henry Charles Fox was a popular and well-respected English landscape artist who travelled extensively along the roads and byways of England and Wales. Born
... in London, he lived most of his life in Kingston on Thames. He had his first painting accepted at the Royal Academy in 1880 and exhibited prolifically there and at all the other major galleries until 1913. Well-respected as an artist among his peers, he was elected a full member of the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) in 1889.
Fox’s paintings are regarded as well composed and balanced with a skilful use of toning and light. His palette is typically that of the genre artist, with the use of soft reds, earthy browns and rich greens to give his works a warm and peaceful feeling under large skies.
Charles Fox is best known for his rural landscapes in watercolour, but he also painted in oils and had a series of large etchings published by Gladwell Brothers, London, in the 1880s.
Fox specialised in rural scenes, capturing in his delicate watercolour works the idealised dream of the perfect English countryside as it was during Victorian times. In doing so he travelled widely across the south of England. His paintings were popular in the early 1900s because of their sense of tradition and tranquillity in a changing world. Today they are highly collectable because they provide us with a beautiful record of rural life as it was at the turn of the twentieth century.
