{"title":"Wallis, Henry","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHenry Wallis (1830-1916)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a British Pre-Raphaelite painter, writer and collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWallis was born in London on 21 February 1830. In 1845, his mother, Mary Anne Thomas, married Andrew Wallis, a prosperous London architect, and Henry took his stepfather's surname. His artistic training was thorough and influential. He was admitted as a probationer to the RA and enrolled in the Painting School in March 1848. He also studied in Paris at Charles Gleyre's atelier and at the Academie des Beaux Arts, sometime between 1849 and 1853.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWallis is best remembered for his first great success, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Death of Chatterton\u003c\/strong\u003e, which he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1856. The painting depicted the impoverished late 18th-century poet Thomas Chatterton, who poisoned himself in despair at the age of seventeen, and was considered a Romantic hero for many young and struggling artists in Wallis's day. His method and style in Chatterton reveal the importance of his connection to the Pre-Raphaelite movement, seen in the vibrant colours and careful build-up of symbolic detail. He used a bold colour scheme with a contrasting palette and he exploited the fall of the natural light through the window of the garret to implement his much loved style at the time, chiaroscuro. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere may have been more examples of Chatterton, as it was popular, and when Wallis had to pay the rent, he would paint another version. He once said that dead poets are more saleable than dead labourers (referring to The Stonebreaker, his next major work). \u003cstrong\u003eThe Stonebreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e (1857, exhibited in 1858) consolidated his reputation as a true Pre-Raphaelite. In total, he showed 35 exhibits at the RA, but later in life developed a greater interest in watercolour painting. He was elected a full member of the RWS (Royal Watercolour Society) in 1878 and exhibited over 80 watercolours at the society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model for his acclaimed The Death of Chatterton was the young George Meredith, whose first wife Mary Ellen would later run off with Wallis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWallis's method of painting, especially in the early years of his career, and in particular on \"\u003cstrong\u003eDeath of Chatterton\u003c\/strong\u003e\", was to do the initial sketch, saturate it in water, use a grey tint to block in the shade, put on the colour and allow it to dry. When firm, he would use a hair pencil to add in the details, for which he is so renowned. For the light, he would touch the area in question with water and then rub it with a piece of bread. His studio during these years was in Chelsea, a very bohemian and out of the way part of London at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe died, almost blind, at 1 Walpole Road, Croydon, on 20 December 1916.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"wallis-henry-1830-1916-the-stonebreaker-1857","title":"Wallis, Henry (1830-1916) - The Stonebreaker 1857","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Stonebreaker is an 1857 oil-on-canvas painting by Henry Wallis.
