George Elgar Hicks

George Elgar Hicks ( born March 13, 1824 in Lymington, Hampshire, † July 4, 1914 in Odiham, Hampshire ) was an English painter.

Hicks first studied medicine and later switched to painting. For this reason, he attended the Art School from 1843 of Bloomsbury and moved the following year to the Royal Academy of Arts in London. In 1855, he managed then with his painting Hark, the lark sings at heaven his artistic breakthrough.

Reception

Hicks images are assigned to the genre painting and show almost entirely scenes from the life of the people. Lt.. Meyers Lexicon are the pictures " ... of deep feeling and admirable effect of coloring, but in the drawing often volatile and not without errors".
