The story of Ernst Leopold Sichel, an outstanding artist on the English art scene of the 19th and 20th centuries, reads like a novel that takes us through different eras and art movements. Born in Bradford, Yorkshire, on June 27, 1862, the son of a factory owner from Frankfurt am Main, his German-Jewish heritage was an integral part of his identity. Sichel's artistic career began at the prestigious Bradford Grammar School, where he shared the school desk with Frederick Delius. His subsequent training at the Slade School of Art under Alphonse Legros and his encounter with William Strang, who became a lifelong friend, shaped his path as an artist.
Ernest Sichel's range of artistic skills was impressive. He was a respected painter of figures, portraits and still lifes, a gifted sculptor and silversmith, and a master pastelist. His passion for art led him to London, where he set up a studio near Euston Square and began a friendship with the painter John Macallan Swan. A trip to Paris opened the door for Sichel to see the works of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, which left a deep impression on him. In the vibrant art metropolis of London, Sichel began exhibiting his works at the Royal Academy beginning in 1885 and at the New English Art Club beginning in 1891. His artwork was also shown at the New Gallery and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, underpinning his growing reputation. John Rothenstein, the director of the Leeds City Art Gallery, praised Sichel for his "unique sense of color and tone, his delicate but sure feeling for form [and] the originality and nobility of his vision," which placed him in the first rank of living English painters.
Around 1890, Sichel moved back to Bradford, where he spent the rest of his life working. One of his best known works is a portrait of the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Hugh Lupton, which he did in 1933. Sichel died on March 21, 1941, and a memorial exhibition was held in his honor in Bradford that year. Sichel's works are characterized by an exquisite balance of color and tone, as well as careful shaping. They are captured in high quality fine art prints that reflect the originality and nobility of his vision. These art prints are a tribute to the extraordinary talent of this artist and allow you to admire his unique works of art. The reproduction of his works in the form of art prints ensures that the legacy of Ernst Leopold Sichel lives on in the present day.
