[Days of Mourning.]
[Painted by Edwin Long, R.A. Engraved by G. Sidney Hunt.] Signed in pencil.
London June 1st. 1892. Published by Fairless & Beeforth. 128, New Bond Street, W. Copyright Registered.
A mixed-method engraving. Signed artist's proof. 673 x 458mm. 26½ x 18". Uncut. Mint.
Edwin Long (1829-1891) was born in Bath, had an early and precocious talent for drawing, studied at the RA Schools from 1849, and also was a student under John Phillip, who encouraged him to travel. in 1874 he visited Egypt and Syria, and this was the start of his career as an Orientalist painter. He developed a rich, exotic style, strong in detail and often on canvases of large size, allowing him to show long processions, enormous palaces or sweeps of mountains on an epic scale. His best years were in the 1870s-80s, when he was a popular, successful artist specialising in biblical stories and life in ancient Egypt. He became ARA in 1876 and RA in 1881. Fairless and Beeforth commissioned the trilogy of paintings taken from Judges xi, 30-40, where Jepthah's Vow is recorded. This picture with The Martyr and the Return [see ref:14087 & 14094] make the trilogy.
