HARRY FIDLER, R.B.A., R.O.I. (1856-1935) Oil on board
Children guiding a horse towing a canal barge.
HARRY FIDLER, R.B.A., R.O.I. (1856-1935) Charming painting of two children and horse towing a canal barge. He frequently included farm animals and especially working horses in his paintings with a heavy style.[3] He often used poor quality canvas and inadequate ground which means that his work can require early restoration. Joined the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Royal Society of British Artists. Fidler successfully exhibited several large canvases at the Royal Academy.[1]
Harry Fidler died at Stoke near Andover in 1935. He has paintings in several public collections including Derby Museum, the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery,[5] Watford Museum, the Smith Art Gallery at Brighouse and the Grundy Art Gallery in Blackpool. Harry and his wife Laura[6] have paintings at Cartwright Hall, the art gallery in Bradford.[2] Laura Fidler died in 1936 and her work has on occasion been wrongly attributed to her husband.[7]
Condition; The overall condition is very good although could use a clean.
