The artist Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864 - 1933) was born in Australia. His parents came from Scotland and decided to return home shortly after his birth. Hornel spent his childhood and youth in the small town of Kirkcudbright. After school he began studying at the Edinburgh art school Trustees' Academy. He spent two years of his studies in the Netherlands. When he returned to Scotland, he joined the artists' group "Glasgow Boys". This group was founded in the 1870s at the Glasgow School of Art.
During this time Edward Atkinson Hornel set up his own studio together with his artist colleague George Henry. The two of them jointly realize various art projects. Hornel and Henry acquired valuable knowledge about decorative design during a stay in Japan. The many new impressions from that time influenced their artistic work. Numerous works in Japanese style were created.
Hornel refined his own style in the course of his artistic career. Towards the end of the 19th century his paintings became more atmospheric, which was mainly due to the choice of colours. Poetic and naturalistic influences were more evident in the paintings from this period, which laid the foundation for his commercial success. Particularly popular were the depictions of children, which almost seemed mosaic-like due to the painting technique and choice of colours. Thanks to his commercial success he could afford a town house with a garden. There, in the so-called Broughton House, he lived together with his sister. The impressions from his time in Japan were incorporated into the garden design. He also set up his own studio in the house. Today the building is owned by the National Trust for Scotland. This non-profit foundation is committed to the preservation and care of culturally significant objects. Atkinson Hornel was a literature lover. He kept more than 15,000 volumes in his private library at Broughton House. This is still preserved today. With his works of art Hornel actively influenced the style of late impressionism. In his works he focused on depictions of landscapes, flowers and people, often children. In 1922, shortly before his death, he went on another trip to Burma and Japan. The artist died one year later.
