The English painter and illustrator John Charles Dollman was born in 1851 in the coastal town of Hove in East Sussex. Today Dollman is considered a representative of British Post-Impressionism. He was the father of the famous zoologist Guy Dollman. The ancestors of the Dollman family came from France. John Charles Dollman's great-grandfather and grandfather were employed by the British royal family as hatters. They were held in high esteem by the royal family and the wealthy elite. Dollman's father did not continue the family's profitable and creative traditional profession and instead ran a bookshop and stationery shop in the south of England.
As a young man Dollman moved to the big city of London to study at the University of South Kensington. Later he also became a student of liberal arts at the Royal Academy School. After graduation he moved into his first own studio in the London borough of Bedford Park. The talented artist was a member of the Royal Watercolor Society and exhibited several times at the Royal Academy between 1870 and 1912. In addition to his professional activity as a painter, Dollman was also very successful as an illustrator. During and after the 1880s, he worked as a graphic artist for several magazines, including "The Graphic" magazine. Art historians point out that especially Dollman's early work (drawings in black and white and in color) is said to have influenced even the art of famous painters such as the Dutchman Vincent van Gogh.
The oil paintings and drawings of the British artist were popular with the public, buyers and fellow artists alike. Today his paintings are in the collections of international galleries. His 1884 work "The Immigrant Ship", for example, was acquired by an art gallery in the Australian city of Adelaide.
The English artist's favourite motifs were mythological in nature. An interesting example of this kind is the depiction of a Viking horde in Dollman's painting entitled "The Unknown" from 1912, his most famous work, which he considered to have been painted at the age of 37, is called "London Taxi Stand". There are at least three different versions of this painting. In general, Dollman often and gladly copied his original paintings and modified them slightly in each case. In addition, he was engaged in anatomical studies of animals and based on these artistic analyses he created a remarkable work that shows a group of wild horses in a stormy situation. Even though Dollman's genre paintings in which he portrayed people together with animals were less well regarded and had little appeal on the art scene, they are a central part of his artistic repertoire. Dollman died in 1934 in his native England at the age of 83.
