Walter Langley nasceu em Birmingham em 8 de

Walter Langley nasceu em Birmingham, em 8 de junho de 1852. Foi um pintor inglês e fundador da “Newlyn School”. Iniciou sua carreira como litógrafo em Birmingham aos quinze anos de idade e, em 1873, conseguiu uma bolsa para estudar desenho em Londres, na “National Training School”, South Kensington. Após seu retorno a Birmingham dedicou-se à pintura figurativa em aquarela. Langley casou-se com Clara Perkins, com quem teve quatro filhos. Em 1881 foi eleito como associado da “Royal Birmingham Society of Artists”. Sua capacidade para produzir grandes obras, que combinavam uma ampla movimentação de forma simplificada com um entendimento da matéria de textura e expressão facial, deve muito ao pintor Josef Israëls e à escola contemporânea holandesa de pintores de aquarela. Sua formação em litografia dá a seus quadros um detalhe e textura que demonstram suas habilidades técnicas. Politicamente de esquerda para sua época, ele era conhecido por suas representações sociais realistas de figuras da classe trabalhadora, especialmente os pescadores e suas famílias, destacando as dificuldades e tragédias que eram comuns durante esse período. Como membro do Instituto dos Pintores em Aquarelas (1883) e do “Royal Birmingham Society of Artists” (1884), expôs tanto na Inglaterra quanto no exterior. Em 1895 sua esposa Clara faleceu. Em 1897, casou-se com Ethel Pengelly e tiveram um filho. Walter Langley morreu em Penzance, em 21 de março de 1922.

Biography: Walter Langley was born in Birmingham, on June 8, 1852. He was an English painter and a founder of the "Newlyn School". He began his career as a lithographer in Birmingham when he was fifteen years old and, in 1873, he got a scholarship to study design in London, in the “National Training Scholl”, South Kensington. After returning to Birmingham, he devoted himself to figurative painting in watercolor. Langley married Clara Perkins and they had four children. In 1881 he was elected as an associate of the “Royal Birmingham Society of Artists”. His skill to produce great works, that combined a broad movement in a simplified manner with an understanding of the field of texture and facial expression, owes much to the painter Josef Israëls and to the contemporary Dutch school of watercolor painters. His training in lithography gives his paintings a detail and texture that proves his technical capacity. Politically left wing for his era, he was known for his social realistic portrayals of working classes figures, chiefly the fishers and their families, standing out the difficulties and tragedies that were habitual at that period. As a member of the “Institute of Watercolor Painters” (1883) and of the “Royal Birmingham Society of Artists” (1884), Walter exhibited as much in England as around the world. In 1895 his wife Clara died. In 1897 he married Ethel Pengelly and they had a son. Silent Sorrow Walter Langley died in Penzance, on March 21, 1922.
