John Percival Gülich
John Percival Gülich (also Gulich) (26 December 1864 – 11 December 1898) was a British illustrator, engraver and artist.[1]
Biography
[edit]Gülich was born in Wimbledon in 1864, the son of Hermann Gülich, a London merchant of German origin, and Eleanor. He was educated at Charterhouse School.[3][4] He lived in Bremen for five years, working in his father's office.[5] He became Art Editor of the illustrated newspapers The Pictorial World and The Graphic, and also contributed to Harper's Magazine.[6] In 1897, he was elected as a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours. One year later, on 11 December, he died of typhoid fever in West Hampstead at the age of 33.
Works
[edit]Arguably Gülich's best known work is a watercolour entitled "A Violin Concerto" (1898), given to the Tate Gallery by Sir Henry Tate in 1899.[7] Four of his works were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts between 1893 and 1898.[8] Four of his drawings are held in the British Royal Collection.[9][10][11][12]
