In the colorful kaleidoscope of English art history, the name George Vicat Cole RA (April 17, 1833 - April 6, 1893) shines with incomparable intensity. Born in Portsmouth, the son of the landscape painter George Cole, he followed his father into the practice of painting and greatly surpassed his successes. Cole's passion for art manifested itself at a young age, and at the tender age of nineteen he proudly presented his works at the British Institution. As early as 1853, he was represented at the Royal Academy - an honor that underscored his talent and enthusiasm for art.
Over time, Cole formed his distinctive style, which brought him great popularity and recognition. The technical simplicity of his works and his consistent choice of attractive materials attest to his masterful ability to create art that touches and moves. The beautiful landscapes of Surrey and Sussex, as well as the banks of the Thames, served as constant sources of inspiration and adorn his diverse collection of artwork. One of his most significant works, "The Pool of London," was acquired by the Trustees of the Chantrey Fund in 1888 and displayed at the prestigious Tate Gallery. Cole's talent and passion for art was passed on to his children. His son, Rex Vicat Cole, followed in his footsteps and also became an acclaimed painter. Cole's daughter, Mary Blanche Cole, who saw the light of day in 1858 and died in 1945, was also active in the arts and married artist Louis Paul, known as Alexander Louis Paul.
His remarkable legacy lives on today in the fine art prints of his impressive artwork, which we at Meisterdrucke reproduce with the utmost care and dedication. The unmistakable beauty of Cole's art is captured in each of our fine art prints, allowing us to bring his work to a wider audience and preserve his memory. George Vicat Cole's remarkable journey ended in London on April 6, 1893. But his art endured, and his vibrant landscapes still shine today in each and every fine art print we make with great respect and precision.
