The pictures of Charles James Lewis involuntarily captivate the viewer's gaze. If his works were poems, they would inspire with gently swinging poetry. Which by no means means means that his paintings look kitschy! No, they are pictures that touch all senses and create a magical atmosphere.
As in one of his most famous works, the "Reader at the Window". A young woman, still a girl, sits relaxed with a book in her hand on a chaise longue, at her feet her - just as relaxed - puppy. Outside, the sun is shining. The whole scene spreads peace and harmony. The viewer can almost feel how comfortable the girl and the dog feel.
These are elements that are often found in the works of Charles James Lewis. His works radiate a heartwarming magic.
Charles James' birth year 1830 was a year of revolutions and unrest in Europe. Unlike for the painter Eugene Delacroix, for Lewis political motifs never became a theme. He wanted to depict feelings, capture moods and paint people. Thus the first painting he exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art at the age of 23 was the portrait of the young "Miss Shelton". This lady must have made a great impression on Charles James, because he married her only one year later. The paintings of Charles James Lewis were already very popular at his time. He was extremely productive as an artist and often exhibited works at the Royal Academy. Moreover, his paintings were shown in many other London exhibitions, as also in the Society of British Artists and in the British Institution. By the way, he always signed his paintings with a short CJ Lewis. His most respected works he executed in watercolour. So he became a member of the Institute for Watercolour Painters, later also of the Institute for Painters in Oil Colours.
Charles James Lewis is considered a typical representative of genre painting. This means that his paintings reflect the everyday life of his social class. He reflects everyday scenes of people; mostly of those who are not troubled by serious worries in their lives. The fascinating thing is that his paintings capture a moment - but they tell a whole story. The pictures seem incredibly vital, which is due to the vivid colours and the love of detail. His motives are often children who are lovingly cared for by their mothers. This suggests that Charles James himself enjoyed a happy childhood. Ebanfalls he often shows animals, especially dogs, with a close relationship to humans.
Landscape painting also plays an important role in his work. He rarely depicts the landscape as such, but mostly in connection with the people who live in it.
This expressiveness, as far as people and their feelings are concerned, still exerts a great attraction today.
