About: Denis Eden
William Denis Eden (1878–1949) was a Liverpool-born artist whose lively and idiosyncratic paintings were in a ‘neo-Pre-Raphaelite’ style. He trained at the St John's Wood Art School and the Royal Academy Schools, and went on to exhibit regularly at the Royal Academy. He was married to the poet Helen Parry Eden, and in the interwar years they divided their time between Oxfordshire and Italy. He illustrated a children’s book and provided drawings for his wife’s ‘medieval’ tales.
