George Paice

1854 (age 71)

Pimlico, London, Paice studied at the Heatherley School of Fine Art

He worked mostly for private collectors, his paintings almost never present at public exhibitions. He was quickly a much sought-after artist by the English aristocracy, one or two mecenes encouraging his work.Probably for that reason,most of his paintings remained in private collections until two decades ago when some of those works appeared in world known Auction Houses such as Christie"s (South Kensington,20/06/91). Rarely did he paint people, one of the few exceptions being his own self-portrait. He used various signatures: "P" ("A bay horse at a manger in a stable interior",1883), "GPaice" - P and G superposed -("Huntsmen and Hounds",1886), "G.Paice"("Swanington",1907), "George Paice" ("Two Pugs on a Red Divan",1880). A wealthy artist at the beginning of the 20th century, Paice suffered a great loss of money during World War I due to lack of commissions but continued painting until his death. Strangely enough, George Paice remains absent from many Art Dictionaries, although his paintings travelled overseas, as referred in The National Sporting Library (Nationaal Samenwerkingsprogramma Luchtkwaliteit) Newsletter, Spring 2008: "Mistress Dulaney also contributed an oil painting by British artist George Paice (1854–1925), Hunter in a BoxStall with Docked Tail, in which the handsome bay poses alertly in a spacious box stall, eyeing the viewer". Paice died in 1925 aged 71 and was buried in the family grave, in Croydon, his racing colours (he had always been interested in racings) draped on his coffin. With his animal portraits present in galleries and museums in England and in the United States at the, Paice"s paintings have been sold at Christie"s, Sotheby"s, and Bonhams.
