Seán Keating PRHA HRA HRSA (1889-1977) REST AFTER TOIL, 1924 oil on canvas signed lower left; signed again in Irish [Céitínn] on reverse 22 x 27in. (55.88 x 68.58cm) Christie's, London, The Irish Sale 14 May 2004, lot 188 as 'Man Standing by a Column'; Private collection; Whyte's, 22 February 2005, lot 45 as 'Man Leaning on a Capital'; Private collection Royal Hibernian Academy, Annual Exhibition, 1924, No. 185 Seán Keating is recognised for his use of allegory; this painting, known as 'Man Leaning on a Pillar' is an excellent example. The man in question stands in a landscape that features what looks like a Spanish building, but is, in fact, a farm building in the Dublin Mountains. Keating featured the same building in another painting - a self-portrait entitled 'Salud' - exhibited in the RHA in 1924, and sold at Whyte's, 30 May 1916 as lot 30. Prominent on the gable end of the building is a feature known as a bell cote, and in times past the bell was used to call farm labourers to work. Although the bell is no longer in place, it is the symbolism that is important to the artist's intended meaning. The unidentified man, hat tilted to protect his gaze from the evening sun, and sleeves rolled up, appears to be the person in charge of whatever work has taken place. He is well dressed, with a blue striped tie hanging loosely around his neck. He seems relaxed, happy even, with the days' work, as he leans on a very unusual decorative pillar. While a feature of the painting, such a pillar would not ordinarily be found in a farmstead in the Dublin Mountains. It is part of a Corinthian column, and its presence in the composition gives further allegorical significance to the peaceful scene. In consideration of the theme of work evident in the painting, Keating's use of the column brings to mind The Book of Corinthians, which is replete with references to the spiritual value of labour and, importantly, to the significance of common purpose such as that suggested by the bell cote: 'Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters … that all of you be in agreement, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose.' 1 Corinthians 1:10 When Keating exhibited the aforementioned 'Salud' in 1924, he also showed a painting entitled 'Rest after Toil'. The artist's original titles are often lost, but it seems clear given the allegorical meaning associated with the bell cote and the Corinthian column, and the man's contented demeanour, that this painting is 'Rest after Toil.' Featuring the same farm building, the two paintings would have had strong meaning for the viewing audience in 1924. In post-Treaty Ireland Keating used allegory to remind, and to implore his viewing audience to work hard, and to work together. It is a message that is equally relevant in the twenty first century.
