	Edwin Abbey The Caldwell Gallery

	John Singer Sargent's Edwin Austin Abbey
		Edwin was born in Philadelphia, began his training as an artist under Isaac Williams, a portrait and landscape painter who had studied with John Neagle and Christian Schussele, a German-born history painter.
		Abbey along with his other friends from Harpers tended to lean more towards the English Pre-Raphael Brotherhood style in their artwork of genera scenes which was popular in the public.
		Abbey derived much of the inspiration for these from his long sojourns in the English countryside, especially, from 1885 to 1889, as one of the central figures in the artists' colony at Broadway (Hereford and Worcs), along with Parsons, Frank Millet (1846--1912) and John Singer Sargent.

	Vincent Art Gallery: About Edwin Austin Abbey
		The painting lacks the obsessive historic detail for which Abbey was renowned in his day, but now this very lack of interference from details makes this a more accessible and attractive example of his work.
		Edwin Abbey was a man whose facility for illustration subverted his potential and reputation as a fine artist.
		Abbey's career was driven more by his imagination of historic events than by his direct observation of the light and life around him, for he surely had sufficient ability to place him among the best of his contemporaries.

		The setting was inspired by a pergola at the Hotel Palumbo in Ravello, on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, where Abbey stayed with his wife for several weeks in 1891, less than a year after their marriage.
		In the later work the delicate colors of the landscape are reflected back onto the white surfaces of the pergola's interior, lending it a pearlescent glow recalling that of the white- washed walls in Mediterranean landscape paintings by Abbey's friend and studio-mate John Singer Sargent.
		With its ambiguous status half- way between indoors and outdoors and its tunnel- like structure, pierced by wide openings to the landscape beyond, the pergola both shelters the lovers and serves as a visual metaphor for their troubled relations.

		Abbey was born in Philadelphia and studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy but he settled permanently in England in 1880.
		This assessment of Abbey's work is perhaps due for revision, thanks to a recent exhibit of his works in 1994-5 at the Folger Shakespeare Library and several universities in the United States.
		In evaluating Abbey's pictures on Shakespearian subjects, Lucy Oakley, in her catalog of the Folger exhibit, urges us "to employ them as windows onto Victorian culture and appreciate them as fascinating aesthetic objects in their own right" (80).

		The year after Connecticut Yankee came out, Edwin Austin Abbey, another American expatriate painter, was commissioned to create a fifteen-panel mural for the Book Delivery Room at the new Boston Public Library (shown at left).
