The British painter Albert Williams is known for his lush flower paintings. He was born in 1922 in the county of Sussex and lived until 2010. He comes from a family of painters. So he first learned painting from his father and grandfather. Later he studied in Brighton at the College of Art there. His teacher for figure and portrait painting was the painter Louis Ginnett, known for his landscape paintings and portraits. Williams was inspired for a rose painting by the Dutch painter Gerard van Spaendonck, who was a well-known flower painter of the 18th century about one hundred and seventy years earlier. Van Spaendonck was even employed by King Louis XVI as a commission painter at the French court.
Albert Williams, on the other hand, was very locally active. For his studies and paintings he picked his roses mostly in his own Victorian garden. He then decorated them for his flower arrangements very often in glass or porcelain vases. The flower arrangements were stylized in combination with high-quality porcelain vases painted in the style of antique models to create a total work of art. Williams pictures impress by their depth effect. Through dramatic light-dark contrasts he was able to dramatize the effect of the flower arrangements even more. He also often used running backgrounds for his plump and opulent bouquets. In an ingenious way he composed them to a perfect romantic overall picture. The flower details are very beautiful and worked out with much love. Williams pictures show the ideal world of an upscale lifestyle in the late Victorian age.
The fact that Williams not only skilfully staged and painted flowers, but also exploited their full artistic potential is demonstrated by the perfectly placed reflections in the glass and metal vases. His paintings met with great approval, and so he exhibited his works during his creative period at the Royal Academy, the Royal Watercolour Society and the Royal Society of British Artists. In Albert Williams we find an artist who knows how to depict the floral garden splendour in its most elegant form and with great care.
