Albert Joseph Moore
English Aesthetic painter
born 1841 - died 1893
Brother of: Henry Moore (1831-1895).
Friend of: James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903).
Moore was born in York, a member of an old Yorkshire family. His father
was an painter, - his elder brother Henry Moore 1831-1895, was the famous marine painter. The family moved to London in
the 1850s, - Albert Moore trained initially at the Kensington Art
School, and subsequently at the Royal Academy. In the 1860s Moore
traveled to Paris and Rome. He gradually developed a style of aesthetic
painting, with carefully integrated, and subtle colour schemes. Moore
was amongst the most painstaking of even Victorian painters, his
pictures starting with human body studies, and drapery studies, many of which
were subsequently worked up into finished pictures. Like other Victorian
painters, many of his pictures were set in ancient Greece, or Rome.
Producing genuinely authentic ancient settings was, however, not
important to Moore, his aim was to produce graceful, elegant paintings
without subject. In this he was entirely succeeded.
