Biography

Born in London the son of a merchant banker, Henry Charles Fox (1855-1929) was a painter of picturesque views, rustic scenes and landscapes. He was a versatile artist and painted in both oils and watercolours.

Fox was a prolific painter and many of the titles of the pictures he exhibited were accompanied by lines of verse. He tried to capture the bucolic dream of the perfect English countryside as it was during Victorian times with his delicate watercolour landscapes. His paintings were many and provide us with a beautiful record of life as it was at the turn of the century. He exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1880-1913, Royal Scottish Academy, RI, Royal Institute of Oil Painters, and the Royal Society of British Artists, of which he became a member in 1890. He died in Horsham, Sussex having lived most of his life in Kingston-upon-Thames.

About Sulis Fine Art

Sulis Fine Art traces its origins back four generations. Benjamin Diamond opened a picture framing factory in Midtown Manhattan in the early 20th century. Originally known as Royal Art, the business worked closely with artists and museum institutions, developing a reputation for creating fine frames. Royal Art passed through the family and eventually evolved into Sulis, now run by Benjamin's grandson Bill, and his son Dan.

Based in the South West of England, we source art from across the British Isles and ship worldwide. We handpick all our stock and we've grown into a ten-strong team of art historians, photographers, restorers, studio technicians and despatchers.

We relocated to our Corsham studio in early 2020, leaving behind our small garden workshops in Bradford-on-Avon that had been our base for several successful years. Now located on the edge of the Cotswolds, our current home allows the team to work alongside our large catalogue of artworks, allowing us to provide you with fast global shipping and top-notch customer service. We are always striving to connect people with the art they love.

Each week we add new artworks to our extensive catalogue, across all styles, subjects, colours and periods. At the heart of Sulis, we rescue and restore lost and forgotten works, giving you the opportunity to find unique pieces and discover art in a new and different way.
