Alfred William Hunt (British, 1830-1896)'From mount to mount through cloudland'signed, titled, numbered and inscribed with artist's address 'No 1 'From mount to mount through cloudland'/A.W.Hunt/1 Tor Villa, Campden Hill, Kensington' (on artist's label affixed verso) oil on canvas 116.9 x 184.2cm (46 x 72 1/2in).Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Thomas Agnew & Sons, Manchester. ExhibitedLondon, Royal Academy, 1874, no. 79.Chicago Exhibition, British Section, 1893, no. 394. Lent by William S. Caine Esq. MP.Hunt titles this work 'From mount to mount through cloudland' which is a direct quote from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem Fancy in Nubibus, or The Poet in the Clouds, 1817. Coleridge is arguably one of the greatest poets in the English language, and he was one of the key proponents of Romanticism in Britain alongside Byron, Keats, Wordsworth, and Blake. Having not just a profound influence on literary criticism and philosophy for the generations that followed, Romanticism had a significant impact on practising artists throughout Europe and Britain in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. The full poem that inspired this work reads as follows:O! it is pleasant, with a heart at ease,Just after sunset, or by moonlight skies,To make the shifting clouds be what you please,Or let the easily persuaded eyesOwn each quaint likeness issuing from the mouldOf a friend's fancy; or with head bent lowAnd cheek aslant see rivers flow of gold'Twixt crimson banks; and then, a traveller, goFrom mount to mount through Cloudland, gorgeous land!Or list'ning to the tide, with closéd sight,Be that blind bard, who on the Chian strandBy those deep sounds possessed with inward light,Beheld the Iliad and the OdysseeRise to the swelling of the voiceful sea.Hunt has taken the words of Coleridge to create an atmospheric and tonal view of the valley, with its dark shadows, low clouds, and pink sky. He captures the literal atmospheric and meteorological surroundings that Coleridge describes. But Hunt also uses dramatic effects of light and shadow to bring forward shapes and colours in the clouds which indicates the more abstract romantic imagery conjured up by the poem. The sky appears in a state of flux, as the pink hues could indicate the lifting of the clouds and the revealing of the 'gorgeous land' that Coleridge describes.The influence of Romantic literature on the visual arts would have been keenly felt during this time, and this was certainly not just limited to landscape painting. Other examples of the influence include the writing of Sir Walter Scott which inspired Scottish artists such as Henry Raeburn; whilst William Blake and William Wordsworth influenced the portrait paintings of George Romney and landscapes by Joseph Wright of Derby.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

91936 Riley 9 Monaco SaloonReg. no. CHY 676Chassis no. 5672330Engine no. SZ2330This Monaco four door saloon was first registered on 14th September 1936 and is still a very honest car in very original condition, having never been subject to a full restoration. The Riley has been maintained and repaired as needed over its 83 years and consequently, according to the vendor, has received plaudits for the retention of such originality. CHY 676 was purchased by the vendor in 2018 and was then exercised and enjoyed over the following 18 months; since then the car has been little used and the vendor has decided to sell it as part of an attempt to reduce his collection. In 2006 significant mechanical maintenance was undertaken, including the fitting of new shell bearings, total expenditure £2,310. In 2011 a new radiator core was fitted. The car still retains original paint and upholstery, although a new set of carpets have been fitted. The Monaco boasts quality fittings including a sun visor, roller blind, rear roller blind and a fully working sliding sunroof. In the file there is an original instruction book, numerous receipts, a selection of old MOT certificates and tax discs, plus a V5C. We are advised that the front passenger window has come off the runner and there is a small oil drip from the front of the engine. Overall a delightful example.Estimate: £10,500 - 11,000To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on July 1st at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU with viewing on the 29th and 30th of June, you can also join us at our Nostalgia Social cars & coffee event on June 25th.
