About Herbert Gustave Schmalz

  • Biography

    Herbert Gustave Carmichael Schmalz, the London-based Victorian genre painter, was born in 1856 in Ryton on Tyne, England, to a German father. He changed his name to his mother's maiden name, Carmichael, in 1918 to avoid popular anti-German sentiment resulting from the First World War.

    Schmalz studied at South Kensington and the Royal Academy, as well as in Antwerp. He lived in the Kensington area of London, and was friends with Frederic Leighton, marrying the sister of Dorothy Dene, a favorite model for Leighton.
