On June 1, 1856, Herbert Gustave Schmalz, who later became known as Herbert Carmichael, saw the light of day in Newcastle, England. The son of German consul Gustave Schmalz and English painter Margaret Carmichael, he was overshadowed by art from a young age. Like an exquisite art print carefully reproduced and displayed in a gallery, Herbert's talent was carefully cultivated and refined. His artistic journey began at the prestigious South Kensington Art School and led him to the Royal Academy of Arts, where he perfected his skills under the tutelage of masters Frank Dicksee, Stanhope Alexander Forbes and Arthur Hacker. But Herbert's hunger for art was insatiable. He continued his education at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp to embrace the broad spectrum of European art. Upon his return to London, Herbert established himself as a history painter, drawing inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelite and Orientalist styles. Like our high-quality fine art prints, which we produce with passion and care, Herbert had the ambition to bring the past to life with all its detail and color. His painting Too Late, which he successfully exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1884, catapulted him into the spotlight of the London art scene. A trip to Jerusalem in 1890 opened a new artistic dimension for Herbert. He produced a series of paintings with New Testament themes, of which "The Return from Calvary" (1891) is one of the best known.
Herbert devoted the last phase of his artistic career to portrait painting. In 1900, he presented an extensive solo exhibition at the Fine Art Society in Bond Street, entitled "A Dream of Fair Women." He maintained friendships with notable artists such as William Holman Hunt, Val Prinsep, and Frederic Leighton. In 1918, after the defeat of Germany in World War I, he took his mother's maiden name and became known as Herbert Carmichael. Herbert's vibrant artwork, carefully reproduced in the form of fine art prints, allows us to gain insight into his impressive artistic journey. His artistic legacy is a constant source of inspiration for us, helping us to achieve our own standards of quality and authenticity in each of our art prints. Herbert Carmichael passed away in London on November 24, 1935, but his immortal artistic legacy lives on in his paintings and our art prints.
