Francis Barlow

   •   Illustration   •   Wikipedia: Francis Barlow

Francis Barlow was born in 1626 and is known as an English painter, etcher and illustrator. He must have been very prolific, as he left behind a widely diversified body of work. Barlow was one of the first painters to create atmospheric portraits of animals, e.g. dogs, oxen, the badger, mares with their foals, scenes of a farm with chickens and turkeys. Contemporaries praised his accuracy and the masterly depictions of the various animal species. For this he certainly had to make many sketches in the open air, in the countryside and in the woods, or to deal with representations of earlier masters. He also became famous for his detailed pictures, with which he captured turbulent hunting scenes and thrilling horse races. This is why his contemporaries affectionately called him the "father of sports painting". Hunting and equestrian sports were already very popular in England at that time and were part of social life, especially for the nobility.

As an artist, he was one of the pioneers in the dissemination of comics around 1682 with a two-part political pamphlet on the fictional "Papist Conspiracy". This kind of "picture stories" were completely new in his time. The content of comics could be quickly grasped by the viewer and the stories could be spread among the people just as quickly. Barlow first used "speech bubbles" in his picture storytelling - a novelty! Francis Barlow also worked very successfully as a book illustrator. He created very atmospheric, masterly etchings for the world-famous fables of the ancient Greek poet Aesop. From the abundance of true-to-detail pictures, "The Old Man and His Sons", "The Ambitious Frog" and the fable "The Fox and the Stork", which was already very popular with school children, are worthy of special mention. The poet Aesop is described as the founder of European fable poetry and with his fables he provided excellent texts to which Barlow's drawings are on a par with.

In addition to ink and oil paints, the English painter also used pencils for his various paintings, depending on the motif. He painted with watercolours and worked as an engraver. Barlow made engravings, which demand a lot of attention and care from an artist The exact date of death of Francis Barlow is unknown. All that is known is that he was buried in 1704. With his varied work, the British painter left behind numerous etchings, pictures and illustrations, which have lost none of their appeal to this day.
