This painting forms part of a collection of works in oil that we have for sale by E.P. Corin, a number of which are signed, and one of which is dated 1929.
Edwin Philip Corin (1863-1940) was the oldest son of Edwin Paul Corin and Eliza Knight, a successful textile and millinery goods importer in the mid 1860s. When his sons were old enough, they were sent abroad to France and South America to establish further business contacts there. This may be where Edwin’s love for the Continent began, as depicted in the wide number of scenes in this collection of gardens in Paris and seascapes along the French Riviera.
Edwin Philip ran the family textile business after his father’s death in 1887. The 1890s saw a change of heart for Corin – he trained and set up a practice as a dental surgeon. Unable perhaps to resist the call of the Continent, by 1898 he had immigrated to Paris, where he set up a dental practice. It was during this time he began to cultivate his artistic leanings, and by the turn of the century he was submitting work to the exhibitions in Paris. Art et Decoration mentions a number of his drawings in the 1911 Salon des Independents, for example, but it is likely he began to exhibit much earlier.
The start of WWI, however, forced him to return back to England, where he lived throughout the war. He may have returned to Paris sometime in the early 1920s, as he is known to have exhibited oil paintings in the Paris Salons of 1923-24. During this time he lived mainly in Paris, travelling and painting for a number of years until he returned to be with his family in England after the death of his wife Annie in 1938. Corin lived in Bromley with his son Edwin John Ronald for a short time; one of Corin’s paintings currently resides in the Bromley Library Historic Collection.
The paintings in this collection confirm this type of wealthy, itinerant lifestyle, and give an intimate look into Corin’s fascination with continental culture, landscape and beauty. They show images of the beauty and luxury of the Cote d\'Azur in the 1920s and 30s, as well as formal gardens in Paris and Italy. These works show a clear Impressionistic influence with their focus on light - whether that is on the shimmering reflections of sun on ocean waters or the dappling of highlight and shadow between trees and flowers in cultivated landscapes.

We provide a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with every artwork. Why?
Supplying a COA when selling an artwork is a long-established convention. It is all the more pertinent in today’s online marketplace, where as a buyer you commit to purchase without the opportunity to view and scrutinise the work. This is why we supply a COA with every purchase.
We believe it is important to put our name to the authenticity of the artworks we sell. By providing a COA, backed by our knowledge and expertise, we are vouching in good faith that a work is of the stated age and authorship.
Somerset & Wood was born out of a shared love of art, history, design and collecting. We have a passion for English antique art. Our vision is to share this online through our blog, and to offer specially selected artworks for sale at very affordable prices.
All our artworks are guaranteed original, one-off collectors’ pieces. We specialise in English 19th- and early 20th-century works on paper. With combined expertise from working in the fine art trade and for national museums across the UK, we have an interest in researching and bringing lesser-known artists into prominence. And, most importantly, as collectors (‘curators’) ourselves, we deal only in works that we think are of value and would ourselves be excited to own.
It is vital to us that our works are original and unique, because, to us, here lies the joy of art. An artwork is an authentic and tangible creation from a singular imagination. When viewed – held – owned, a connection forms between the creator and viewer. In a world where products are becoming increasingly disposable and transactions impersonal, we celebrate these personal connections, across centuries – and, with the global dialogues enabled by the online marketplace, across continents.
We take care to ensure that our descriptions and images are as accurate as possible. It is important to us that the artwork you receive meets your expectations from viewing it on screen.
Please read our notes below on colour and condition.
Colour
We photograph artworks under controlled lighting and colour-check the images on a calibrated screen. Please note that colours can appear slightly differently depending on the calibration of the screen on which they are viewed.
Condition
All our artworks are of some age, and many are antique. Depending on paper type, some degree of ageing is to be expected and is part of the authenticity of the work. We take care to describe the condition of artworks as fully as possible in our descriptions and photographs. We list any significant condition issues, such as losses, tears, foxing, stains and age toning. For more subtle marks, irregularities or variations in tone, please consult the photographs provided as additional indication of condition. If you have any questions regarding the condition of a specific work, please contact us.
