Légende

A Learned Judge (Tantalus Stork), by H. Stacy Marks, R.A.,1898. 'It is...as a painter of birds, and as a student of their human qualities, that Mr. Stacy Marks has made his place in art; but before his election as an Academician he was devoted to a style of genre work, in which the balance between pathos and caricature was evenly sustained. For many years he devoted himself chiefly to decorative work for public and private buildings, and part of the frieze - illustrative of the arts and manufactures - which runs round the Albert Hall was due to his design. It was not until 1878, when he exhibited his group of storks at the Royal Academy, under the title of "Convocation," that his distinctive role as a painter became known to the public - perhaps to himself also'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
