Herbert Gustave Schmalz was born near Newcastle in 1856 to a German father. Schmalz’s art training was fairly conventional. He moved to London at the age of 17, enrolled at the South Kensington Art School and later, entered the Royal Academy Schools, where his contemporaries were Frank Dicksee, Stanhope Forbes, Arthur Hacker and Arthur Cope.  He exhibited at the EA from 1879, and in 1900 he had a solo exhibition of 40 pictures entitled ‘A Dream of Fair Women’ at the Fine Art Society in Bond Street. A book illustrating a number of the artist’s works, was published in 1911: The Art of Herbert Schmalz by Trevor Blakemore. In 1918, in common with many others with German surnames at that time, he anglicised his name. He took the surname Carmichael, as his maternal grandfather had been the marine painter John Wilson Carmichael. He died in 1935.  Via beautifuldavinci
