The Noon-Day Rest

George Vicat Cole (1833-1893)
Born in Portsmouth, Vicat Cole was the son of the self-taught landscape painter, George Cole, who supervised his son’s artistic education. Vicat Cole exhibited his landscapes in London from the age of twenty, was elected Associate of the Royal Academy in 1866, and became a full Member in 1880. He painted most regions of the British Isles, and was particularly fond of views of the Thames. His painting ‘The Pool of London’ was purchased by the Chantrey Bequest for the Tate Gallery. In 1870 a critic, reviewing one of Vicat Cole’s paintings in the Art Journal, describes how ‘a landscape such as this is especially to be extolled, in that it gives to earth its glory, as when God pronounced a blessing and declared all he made was good.’
