Edwardian Interior

Artist: Harold Gilman (British, 1876–1919)

Date: ca. 1907

Medium: Oil paint on canvas

Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom

Description

This picture shows the drawing room of the Rectory at Snargate, in Romney Marsh, where Gilman's father was the vicar. The girl is the artist's youngest sister, Irene.

The fashion for depicting domestic interiors seems to have been especially strong among pupils of the Slade School, which Gilman attended from 1897 to 1901. His work developed quickly away from the early style shown here to one which emphasised colour and texture. This can be seen in a later work, Lady on a Sofa, painted around 1910, shown to the left/right.

Romney Marsh Kent AONB by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: Historically the Marsh was a thriving and prosperous place centred on the Cinque Port of New Romney, until the great storm of 1287 landlocked the town. It was the Romney Marsh sheep that provided the area’s continued prosperity, and also the origins of a notorious and rife smuggling industry. Today the Marsh is a peaceful place mostly devoted to farming, its quiet and flat lanes offering excellent walking and cycling - its churches provide a step back into history - its landscape supporting a variety of special wildlife.
