It almost seems as if the self-confidence of the legendary namesake of this artist has somehow managed to penetrate deep into his genes. Hercules Brabazon Brabazon's biography is definitely one of those that could be described as dazzling. Widely travelled and with a trained eye, he left behind an impressive number of watercolours, which in their entirety represent a unique document of the 19th century.
Born into a family of low British aristocracy, the first two decades of his life consisted of the education of young aristocrats, which was customary for the time. Attendance at the Harrow School, still legendary today, is followed by educational stays in Geneva and the subsequent acquisition of a bachelor's degree in mathematics. At this point, there is nothing to suggest that young Hercules will soon emancipate himself from the narrow patterns and guidelines of his life. At his father's request to study law, he literally takes flight. Overnight he turns his back on England to study music and art in Rome. Over the course of three years, a letter quarrel breaks out with his father, who finally cuts off the money supply. But just in this moment fate steps to the side of the young rebel from a good family. The early death of his brother provides him with an inheritance that makes him financially independent and paves the way for the lifestyle that will also determine his work.
From that time on, Hercules Brabazon Brabazon devoted himself to the study of the world and art while travelling carefree. Only rarely distracted by administrative tasks in his home country does he travel through Europe and Africa. Always with him are his ink box and paper. In the course of the decades, thousands of sheets are created, mostly painted with the powerful gesture of a gymnast, whom he adores throughout his life. Only at an advanced age and on the advice of his friend John Singer Sargent does he begin to share with the public the mastery he has acquired over the years. He is already well over seventy years old when his drawings are first shown at the New English Art Club. Better late than never, because this first exhibition was followed by numerous successful solo shows. This late success led, shortly after his death, to his works entering the museums of the world and now sometimes even being shown alongside those paintings by Turner that inspired him so much.
