윌리엄 모 이글리

1826-1916 English

빅토리아 풍속화와 의상 세부

William Maw Egley was an English artist of the Victorian era. The son of the miniaturist William Egley, he studied under his father. His early works were illustrations of literary subjects typical of the period, such as Prospero and Miranda from The Tempest. These were similar to the work of The Clique. William Powell Frith, one of The Clique, hired Egley to add backgrounds to his own work. Egley soon developed a style influenced by Frith, including domestic and childhood subjects. Most of his paintings were humorous or "feelgood" genre scenes of urban and rural life, depicting such subjects as harvest festivals and contemporary fashions. His best-known painting, Omnibus Life in London (Tate Gallery), is a comic scene of people squashed together in the busy, cramped public transport of the era. 이글리는 의상의 세부 사항에 항상 큰 관심을 보였으며 세심한 주의를 기울였지만, 그의 그림은 종종 딱딱하고 서투른 스타일이라는 비판을 받았다. 1860년대에 에글리는 낭만화된 18세기 주제의 유행을 채택했습니다. 그는 매우 많은 수의 확실하게 판매 가능한 그림을 제작했지만, 그의 작품은 비평적으로 칭찬받지 못했습니다.
