Henry Moore, R.A.—he was able to begin the active exercise of his profession at an unusually See also:early See also:age
.
His first exhibited See also:works were two drawings which he sent to the Royal See also:Academy in 1857
.
A See also:year later he became a student in the Royal Academy See also:schools; but after working in them for a few months only he decided that he would be more profitably occupied in See also:independent practice
.
During the See also:period that extended from 1858 to 187o, though he produced and exhibited many pictures and drawings, he gave up much of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

His first large See also:canvas, " See also:Elijah's See also:Sacrifice," was completed during a stay of some five months in See also:Rome at the beginning of 1863, and appeared at the Academy in 1865

King See also:Solomon to her Maidens," was exhibited in 1866, and with it two smaller works, " Apricots " and " Pomegranates." In these Albert Moore asserted plainly the particular technical conviction which for the See also:rest of his See also:life governed the whole of his practice, and with them he first took his See also:place definitely among the most See also:original of See also:British painters
.
Of his subsequent works the most notable are "The Quartette " (1869), " See also:Sea Gulls " (1871), " Follow-my-See also:Leader " (1873), " Shells " (1874), " See also:Topaz " (1879), " See also:Rose Leaves " (1880), " Yellow Marguerites " (1881), " Blossoms " (1881), " Dreamers " (1882), " See also:Reading Aloud " (1884), " See also:Silver " (1886), " Midsummer " (1887), " A See also:River See also:Side " (1888), " A Summer See also:Night " (189o), " See also:Lightning and See also:Light " (1892), " An Idyll " (1893), and " The Loves of the Winds and the Seasons," a large picture which was finished only a few days before his See also:death
.
He died on the 25th of September 1893, at his studio in See also:Spenser See also:Street, See also:Westminster
.
Several of his pictures are now in public collections; among the See also:chief are " Blossoms," in the See also:National See also:Gallery of British Art; " A Summer Night " in the See also:Liverpool See also:Corporation Gallery; " Dreamers " in the See also:Birmingham Corporation Gallery; and a See also:water-See also:colour, " The Open See also:Book," in the See also:Victoria and Albert Museum, See also:South See also:Kensington
.
In all his pictures, See also:save two or three produced in his later boyhood, he avoided any approach to See also:story-telling, and occupied himself exclusively with decorative arrangements of lines and colour masses
.
The spirit of his art is essentially classic, and his work shows plainly that he was deeply influenced by study of See also:antique See also:sculpture; but he was not in any sense an archaeological painter, nor did he See also:attempt reconstructions of the life of past centuries
.
Artistically he lived in a See also:world of his own creation, a place peopled with robust types of humanity of Greek See also:mould, and See also:gay with See also:bright-coloured draperies and brilliant-hued See also:flowers
.
As an executant he was careful and certain; he See also:drew finely, and his colour-sense was remarkable for its refinement and subtle appreciation
.
Few men have equalled him as a painter of draperies, and still fewer have approached his ability in the application of decorative principles to pictorial art
