available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Snargate is a
village near New Romney in Kent, England. Snargate's most surprising
claim to fame in the late 19th century, is that it was home to an
important artist. Harold Gilman, sometimes called the English Van Gogh,
was a British Impressionist and a member of the Camden Town Group. He
grew up at Snargate Rectory, where his father was Rector. Harold was
born in 1876, and lived at the Rectory till his thirties, when he
brought his bride Grace to live there, for the first two years of their
marriage, 1902-04. His father continued to live there till his death in
1917. Harold Gilman only lived two years longer, dying in 1919 as one of
the numerous victims of the so-called Spanish Influenza outbreak at the
end of the First World War. The painting "Interior" of about 1908 is
supposed to have been painted inside the Rectory. Source: "The Painters
of Camden Town", by F Farmar, page 59. |
