Edward Matthew Hale is one of those 19th Century artists about whom it’s not easy to find information, but whose few available images hint at a terrific body of work.
Hale studied in Paris with Alexander Cabanel, whose students included Pierre Auguste Cot and Jules Bastien Lepage; and then with Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran, noted as the teacher of John Singer Sargent.
Considered primarily a genre painter, his subjects leaned to mythology and the sea, as well as military subjects from his time as a war correspondent for the Illustrated London News.
The resources I can find are limited, and some (but not all) tend to repeat the same paintings, but if anyone knows of sources for additional images by Hale, let me know and I’ll post them.
