Charles Edward Conder was an English artist who was described by his biographer, Frank Gibson as:
. . . . a personality which was only equalled, but certainly not surpassed in his own particular time and his own particular way, by another genius, namely, Aubrey Beardsley. . . . his work has formed no school, though the influence of his painting on certain artists is undeniable. He was not even a great draughtsman, but he was an artist possessed of vast and astonishing powers of invention, and a brilliant colourist.
