It was often everyday situations in which William Henry Margetson depicted the women, but gave them a unique aesthetic through his artistic skill. An aesthetic for which he is still famous today.
William Henry Margetson was a British painter who was attracted to and turned to art as a child. As a young man he studied art and painting at a college, and later at an academy, in order to deepen his knowledge and pursue his own studies. In 1885, he even received the Armitage Medal for these studies and his talent for painting, which distinguished him as an accomplished artist and connoisseur. In addition, he had become a portrait painter in high demand, commissioning portraits of many recognized poets, thinkers and muses. But also in the private sphere he made those increasingly. In addition, he also painted religious motifs, such as biblical scenes or important figures of the Christian religion. But this did not seem to be enough for him. He devoted himself to another study and another aesthetic - that of women.
In his special focus were women, who became his favorite motif. His most famous works depict the female sex and he made a large number of artworks with this motif. In particular, Victorian women who were brunettes or redheads, with a delicate face and pale skin. Women who wore modern hairstyles or large hats and flowing dresses. He preferred to depict them in general situations, as a result of which there are some pictures in which the woman is standing in the salon, picking flowers in the garden or looking out of the window. But the focus is always on the woman, which is depicted in detail and directly attracts the viewer's gaze. Margetson immortalized all his artworks with oil paints and watercolors on canvas, in a typical Victorian style taught at the Academy. Later, he was inspired by the era of Post-Impressionism, which made his brushstrokes lighter and messier. But his paintings lost nothing in detail or colorfulness, which meant that his famous aesthetic remained. With the marriage of his wife, who was a book illustrator, he learned to love another field. Together with his wife he made some book illustrations, but they could never captivate him as much as his love for the illustration of women. He also painted his own wife from took her as a muse for many a work.
