Edwin Deakin
(1838 - 1923)
Edwin Deakin was an itinerant painter of small landscape and still-life scenes in oils. He was born in Sheffield, England, and immigrated to the United States sometime before the Civil War. He lived in Chicago for awhile, but hearing of the wonders of California he and his wife moved to the West Coast in 1870. The Deakins then established themselves in Berkeley, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Edwin Deakin eventually became a member of the art association there in 1879. He also became a specialist in the painting of the twenty-one uniquely beautiful Spanish missions of California, established by the Franciscans in early days, and two of his paintings became known internationally when he competed in the Paris Salon. Deakin also painted elsewhere; for example in 1883 he was in Salt Lake City where he spent time sketching and painting scenes in the surrounding canyons, views of various mills in the area, and other landscape settings.
