The genius of solar watercolors Carlton Alfred Smith (29 photos)
Carleton Alfred Smith is an English watercolorist and genre painter who, at the end of the 19th century, specialized in depicting everyday life and genre scenes in a romantic manner.
He was the son of an engraver and spent his youth studying in France. Smith also studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, receiving gold and silver medals.
The artist entered the circle of the most technically impeccable watercolor painters of the late Victorian period.
Together with Charles Edward Wilson, he left the capital to become a member of the artistic community, whose founder was Miles Birket Foster Allingham.
Smith's creative path began with lithographs. And only later did he begin to create his most famous genre works, as if illuminated from within by bright sunlight.
He exhibited mainly on Suffolk Street in London. From 1916 to 1923, the artist lived in India, during which time he painted both portraits and original sketches of street life. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Arts.
