Velg mellom våre forhåndsdefinerte størrelser som bevarer kunstverkets opprinnelige proporsjoner.
Skriv inn ønsket bredde og høyde for å tilpasse trykket til din ramme eller vegg. Et trykk kan kun beskjæres, aldri skaleres opp utover motivets opprinnelige størrelse, noe som betyr at et format med andre proporsjoner vil føre til tap av deler av bildet. Vi sender deg en digital mockup for godkjenning før vi starter trykkeprosessen. Bildet som vises på denne siden viser ikke den faktiske beskjæringen — det er kun mockuppen som viser dette.

Om kunstneren
A Life Rooted in Birmingham
The story of William Arthur Breakspeare begins in the industrial heart of England, born in Birmingham, United Kingdom. As the son of John Breakspeare, a skilled flower painter within the local japanning trade, his early life was steeped in the fine details of decorative artistry. Before finding his true calling on the canvas, he underwent an apprenticeship as a decorator with Halbeard and Wellings, a period that likely instilled in him the meticulous precision that would later define his brushwork. His formative years in Edgbaston provided a foundation of craftsmanship that bridged the gap between traditional trade and fine art.
His artistic education was far more expansive than his local beginnings might suggest. Breakspeare sought refinement through prestigious institutions, studying at the Birmingham Government School of Design and later traveling to Charles Verlat's Academy in Antwerp. This international exposure, including a significant period spent in Paris, allowed him to absorb the evolving aesthetics of the late 19th century. These travels not only broadened his technical repertoire but also introduced subtle influences, such as Orientalism, which can be glimpsed in works like An Eastern Maid.
Artistic Mastery and Professional Legacy
Breakspeare’s career was deeply intertwined with the vibrant art scene of his home city. He was a prominent figure within the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA), where he exhibited dozens of works between 1874 and 1899, eventually earning the distinction of Associate in 1881 and full membership in 1884. His commitment to the local community was further cemented as a founder member of the Birmingham Art Circle. While his heart remained connected to Birmingham, his reach extended to the prestigious Royal Academy in London, where he showcased works such as To Gretna Green and Bathers.
The breadth of his subject matter reveals an artist of remarkable versatility. His portfolio spanned several captivating genres:
- Portraiture: Capturing the essence and character of his subjects with a refined, realistic touch.
- Genre Painting: Depicting scenes of everyday life, such as the charming The Gardener’s Daughter.
- Figure Studies: Exploring the human form through works like Resting, characterized by soft lighting and detailed execution.
- Landscape and Costume: Recreating historical elegance through 18th-century costume pieces and natural vistas.
A Lasting Impression
Though he may not have achieved the global fame of some of his contemporaries, Breakspeare’s significance within the British art landscape remains undeniable. His ability to blend the academic rigor learned in Antwerp and Paris with the soulful, narrative traditions of English genre painting created a body of work that is both technically impressive and emotionally resonant. From the bustling streets of central Birmingham to the quiet elegance of his later years in London, his life was a testament to the enduring power of dedicated craftsmanship and the pursuit of aesthetic beauty.
