Art Sunday; Edward Atkinson Hornel




Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933) was a Scottish painter of landscapes, flowers, and foliage, with children.
He was actually born in Australia, but of Scottish parents and considered himself to be Scottish. He was brought up in Scotland, at Kirkcudbright, and for most of his life lived and worked in Scotland. He studied for three years at Edinburgh Art School, followed by two years at Antwerp under Professor Verlat. He Returned to Scotland from Antwerp in 1885 and almost immediately met George Henry, a fellow Scottish painter. They both associated themselves with the Glasgow based Art movement and are usually considered to be of The Glasgow School.
