Today he is almost forgotten. But in Victorian England, George Samuel Elgood was one of the leading garden painters of his time. An enthusiastic and experienced gardener himself, he lived out his passion for all things blooming and thriving in his delicate watercolors. His paintings are so detailed that the viewer has the feeling that he is walking in them as in a garden and can even perceive the scent of the roses and the rustling of the leaves. Elgood was born into a large family, he had eleven siblings. Nevertheless, his father, a textile manufacturer, was able to enable him to study at the Royal College of Art. There he took drawing courses in architecture, but even then he devoted himself to the beauties of English landscape gardens in small drawings. When his father died unexpectedly in 1874, the young George had to give up his studies and take over the management of the family business instead. He could only pursue his art in his rare free time. But he did so with great dedication and success. A first exhibition of his works at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool was soon followed by others.
In his late 20s, he met Mary Clephan, who shared his love of art. A good basis for a marriage, especially since Mary also brought a considerable fortune. The windfall enabled George to leave the family business and instead travel around Europe with Mary and paint. During this time, he produced numerous paintings of Renaissance gardens, especially in Italy. To add a touch of extra nostalgia and authenticity to his works, he also often placed figures in 18th century garb in the scenery. His wife served as a model for him. The works created during his travels were exhibited many times and received enthusiastic critical acclaim. Even the Queen is said to have taken a liking to the paintings. In any case, the palace telegraphed that Elgood might reserve one of the paintings for Her Majesty's private collection. George Samuel Elgood's fame was not only due to his paintings. Rather, he became even more famous for his book illustrations. His greatest success came in 1904, when Gertrude Jekyll's book "Some English Gardens" was published with 50 of his watercolor illustrations. Numerous other commissions for garden books were to follow.
As much as he loved nature, he disliked company. He attached great importance to his privacy. Thus, although he often painted his own garden in Markfield, Leicestershire. But he titled the pictures with fantasy names so that no one would find out where the garden depicted was actually located and possibly even visit it. He also hated changes so much that he chased away the gardener who wanted to cut the trees next door with a shotgun. When his wife died in 1925, Elgood nevertheless had to accept that his niece moved in with him to look after things. But she could not persuade him to have running water and electricity in the house.
