Nick Hugh McCann (British, b.1957) Lord Byron and John Edleston at Newstead Abbey, 1806, with Boatswain (Bosun) in the distance signed lower right oil on linen in a water-gilded frame by Russell & Chapple, with a gilded title plaque by Gino Franchi, Bond Street, London 90 x 120cm (35 x 47in) Provenance: Commissioned by the collectors Messrs Clarke and Davidson in 2016, the work has recently come back to the artist's collection through a bequest Exhibited: The Williamson Art Gallery July 2016 in the artist's one-man show, 'It's All About Me Darling'. Reproduced in "I frutti acerbi Lord Byron, gli amori & il sesso", Vincenzo Patane. Pub. Cicero, Venezia 2016 Lord Byron went up to Trinity College, Cambridge, in October 1805, residing in Neville's Court. Famous for his rebellious behaviour, he kept a bear named Bruin to satirically circumvent the college rules of not allowing dogs in students' rooms. Fellow Trinity scholar, William Bankes - who in later life became the famous traveller and collector - was two years older than Byron and had fitted up some of his own college rooms as a quasi-chapel, importing Cambridge choristers to serenade him. This is probably where Byron met the young choirboy, John Edleston, the son of a local tradesman. Whether or not their sentimentally passionate relationship became a physical one will always be a subject of conjecture and speculation, but there are tantalising clues and irresistible evidence in Byron's poetry and letters - both at the time and later in life - to suggest that it did. What is known is that Edleston presented Byron with a heart-shaped cornelian at the end of the poet's first term and it inspired Byron's poem "To a Cornelian". Byron's early 19th century self-promoting public relations machine was aided by his inheritance of the romantic ruin of Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire, complete with follies, lakes and a gloriously Gothic atmosphere. The present painting shows Byron's famous large Newfoundland dog, Boatswain, atop the 4th and 'Wicked' Lord's castellated folly, built for fighting real life battles. Bosun is buried in an elaborate tomb near the supposed site of the Abbey's high altar, but by the time the artist Nick McCann descended into the dog's tomb in the 1980s, the dog's coffin and remains had long gone. The 18-year old Byron is draped with a wrap of his mother's family Gordon tartan, a plaid he wore throughout his life, always proud of his Scottish ancestry. Despite having a disability in one of his feet, Byron became an excellent swimmer, famous for crossing the Hellespont in Turkey, Lisbon's Tagus estuary, the length of the Grand Canal in Venice and, closer to home, the Weir pool of the Cam at Grantchester, known today as Byron's Pool. Although it is widely accepted today that Byron's sexuality had many facets, it was not always so and until relatively recently this important and complex aspect of his character was suppressed and even completely dismissed. As a result, there are surprisingly few - if any - other erotic interpretations of Byron's life on canvas. Nick Hugh McCann studied at Falmouth School of Art and later graduated from London's Slade School of Fine Art. He has work in private collections throughout the world and combines painting with heritage publishing and filmmaking. He has recently exhibited at Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery. McCann has been a renowned Byron aficionado since the late 1970s, with the poet and his fellow Romantics inspiring paintings, photography and films. The artist is the only person to have completed Byron's famous swim of the Grand Canal in Venice, the year after he swam the Hellespont in Turkey in honour of the poet. The late art critic, Brian Sewell, was a supporter of McCann's work and remarked that his work "has the Wow factor." Condition is fine.
