Beschreibung
William Hatherell (British, 1855-1928) The Elopement – Tess of the d'Urbervilles signed 'W.HATHERELL' (lower right) oil on canvas 91 x 137cm (35 13/16 x 53 15/16in). Footnotes: Provenance Anon. sale, Sotheby's, Belgravia, 2 October 1979, lot 164. The present presents a scene from Thomas Hardy's iconic novel of 1891; the image was used at the cover illustration of the novel, part of the Broadview Editions series, published in 2017. Trained at the Royal Academy Schools, William Hatherell made a successful career as a magazine and book illustrator, working for The Graphic, Harper's Magazine, Scribner's Magazine and other publications; he produced images for works by Shakespeare, Robert Louis Stevenson and Hardy - Hardy was so appreciative that he wrote a letter of appreciation to Hatherell and had a complete set of the artist's illustrations for Jude the Obscure framed in his study. He was a member of the RI, the ROI and the RWA, and became a member of the Langham Sketching Club. The author of an article on Hatherell noted that the artist 'became noted for his refusal to be pressured into hasty work ... he used models, often carefully posed in his backyard garden (carefully cultivated in Georgian style), or in his modern studio. This familiarity with models and backdrops may be the reason for the kind of illustration Hatherell customarily created: 'He always tried to make a picture instead of a mere photographic illustration. He would never be led into the production of a diagrammatic drawing of unnecessary detail -- a kind of jig-saw puzzle of 'little bits.' He always had the painter's appreciation of colour, the sense of the values of broad masses, and a feeling for atmosphere.''1 1quoted in 'W. Hatherell and His Work' from The Art of the Illustrator, London, 1918.
