Item Overview

Description

Pair of Alfred Wheeler (1850-1932), Hunting Scenes, oil on canvas, 15 x 20", frame: 20 x 25"

Provenance: A Fredericksburg, Texas collection

Alfred Wheeler (1851 or 1852-1932) was born near Bath in Somerset, the son of John Alfred Wheeler (1821-1877), who retired early from the army to pursue a successful painting career.  Wheeler is thought to have studied under his father and to have worked closely with him.  He married Catherine Muspratt in 1874 and moved next door to his father at Raglan Villas, Bath.  Alfred then followed his father when he moved to Hanwell.  Alfred and Catherine had six children of which two became artists: Walter Herbert and John Frederich.
The Wheeler family specialized in sporting subjects such as horse racing and fox hunting.  They were also commissioned frequently for animal portraits.
Alfred Wheeler and his father are often confused due to their extremely similar styles and their signatures.  The pair even painted some of the same racehorses, and both received commissions from Baron Rothschild and the Prince of Wales.  Alfred's work is thought to be less prolific, even though he contributed to many of his father's paintings toward the end of his life.
