Description:

Frank F. English was active/lived in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Indiana / Europe. Frank English is known for genre, rural landscape and marine painting. Recognized for his watercolor paintings in early twentieth-century America, Frank English was born in Louisville, Kentucky and studied under Thomas Eakins and others at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. From 1881 until 1903, he exhibited at the Academy, as well as the Philadelphia Art Club and the American Art Society, while supporting himself as a commercial artist in Claymont, Delaware. In 1905, he traveled to Europe, visiting England and Holland. Five years later, he relocated to Point Pleasant in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he resided until his death. While English also painted in oil and pastel, he is chiefly admired for his watercolors, which he highlighted with gouache and applied with a loose, delicate touch. He is best known for bucolic scenes of rural life—cider making, grazing cattle, harvesting chores, and horse-drawn carriages—images of an environment soon altered by expanding populations and technologies. Most of English's landscapes record the countryside around his home in Bucks County or document his travels in Europe, particularly England. The moss-draped oak in this rural scene and the African American couple driving the carriage suggest that he made at least one trip to South Carolina, Georgia, or Florida. English rarely dated his pictures, and he reused descriptive titles like Rural Landscape, Country Road, and Farm Scene, making it difficult to identify exact locations.
