English art - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about English art (1661 words) |
 | English art was once again revitalized by foreign artists, in particular the Flemish painters Peter Paul Rubens, who visited England briefly, and Anthony van Dyck, who settled in England to become court painter to Charles I. His baroque elegance dominated 17th-century portraiture. |
| By the end of the century English art was being influenced by French artists, in particular Edgar Degas and the Impressionists. |
| English Impressionists founded the New English Arts Club in 1886, and French influence, which continued well into the 20th century, can be seen in the work of Wilson Steer, John Singer Sargent (another American working in England), Walter Sickert, and Augustus John. |
