About Paul Peel (1860-1892)
Born in London, Ontario in 1860, Paul Peel would later move to Paris, France where he received art instruction at the École des Beaux-Arts under Jean-Paul Gerome and at the Académie Julien under Benjamin Constant, Henri Doucet and Jules Lefebvre. He traveled widely in Canada and Europe, exhibiting as a member of the Ontario Society of Artists and the Royal Canadian Academy. He also exhibited at international shows like the Paris Salon. Peel's work was very popular in both his lifetime and today. It is executed mainly in oil and employs genre, landscape, marine and portrait subjects. His conservative style reflected the official one then taught in the French government academies, but at the time of his sudden death at the age of 32, Peel appeared to be changing his style toward impressionism.
