SIR ALFRED GILBERT: A bronze of "Comedy and Tragedy": "Sic Vita", the bronze 27" high, on a circular serpentine base, 303/4" high overall including the base. Provenance: The Collection of J.P. Heseltine Esq. Acquired by Robert Worthington, Esq. OBE, FRCS of Exeter, Devon, from Gooden and Fox in February 1931 for £100 (the original invoice included with this lot). Worthington was a prolific collector and the purchase is also recorded in his notebook. Literature: The Easter Art Annual, 1903 Sir Alfred Gilbert spoke of "Comedy and Tragedy" as "The climax to my cycle of stories". In one sense it is autobiographical, the commentary on Gilbert's state of mind at the time of its' creation: mounting debt, difficulties with patrons and a sick wife forced him to live with continual anxiety, though what the world saw was a supremely successful sculptor and social figure publicly moving from one triumph to another. The stature shows a stage-prop boy running with the mask of Comedy in his hands at the moment he is stung by a bee. From one side, the statue is dominated by the comic mask; from the other the boy's expression forms a tragic mask. The statue needs to be seen in-the-round to appreciate the twisting of the angular muscular form into a complex and artificial pose. The title for the bronze comes from W.S. Gilbert's one-act play "Comedy and Tragedy", which was staged in a revival at the Lyceum with Gilbert's friend, the American actress Mary Anderson, in the leading role. A pen and ink sketch "Comedy and Tragedy" (first idea) "December III 90 Alfred Gilbert" shows a winged putto leaping to avoid an arrow shot at his right leg. Gilbert was just beginning to think about the figure of Eros for the Shaftesbury Memorial at this date, so the arrow in the drawing may be identified as the one Eros has just shot from his bow. The model for Eros, Angelo Colorossi, recalled that before posing for that statue he had posed for "Comedy and Tragedy". The latter was begun on 2nd February 1891 and advanced throughout the month. Gilbert noted in May of that year that he had worked on the top of the Shaftesbury Memorial, so Eros followed immediately upon Comedy and Tragedy (Alfred Gilbert, Royal Academy of Arts 1986 - The Great Bronzes 1881-1892). This lot is sold with Robert Worthington's personal copy of "Alfred Gilbert" by Isabel McAllister, published London 1929 and the original of sale dated 16th February, 1931.
