Henry Bates Joel

Henry Bates Joel (1875–1922) was a British landscape painter of the late Victorian era.

[4] Joel was a much respected artist during the Victorian and Edwardian era,[5] valued especially for the vibrancy of his palette and 'flowing', 'sophisticated' brush strokes,[4] yet was largely forgotten (and underestimated) in the late 20th and early 21st century.

[10] Joel is part of the 'late romantic movement', aimed at supporting the emphasis of aesthetic values.

[4] Bates will have been inspired by the likes of Turner and Constable, adding a 'contemporary, Victorian, perspective' to traditional imagery.

[9] Paintings such as 'Loch Lomod' are typical for Bates Joel's style; "refined and vibrant yet with strongly romanticised aura.
