SIR JOSEPH EDGAR BOEHM 1834-1890 STALLION WITH GROOM. Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm was the favourite sculptor of Queen Victoria and the royal family. From Hungarian parentage, born in Austria, Boehm moved to England in 1862 becoming a British subject three years later. Boehm was a highly successful sculptor, with many of his works in public spaces in London: General Charles Gordon in St Paul's Cathedral, The Duke of Wellington at Hyde Park Corner, and many portrait busts in the National Portrait Gallery, are some examples of his prolific work. Provenance: Owned by the Henry Young family, certainly Arthur Stanley Young until 1952 (Henry Young was the founder for Boehm). Owned by the Henriques family 1952-1984. Owned by the Hurman family 1984-present. History: This is the actual bronze illustrated in "Animals in Bronze" by Christopher Payne, page 357. It was incorrectly catalogued then as "Suffolk Punch". The bronze "The Cart Stallion with Groom" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1869 in the Sculpture Gallery (catalogue number 1199). This bronze was cast at Henry Young's foundry in Pimlico in the early 1870s. An identical cast is in the Guildhall Art Gallery. The same sculpture was used with minor changes to create "The Horse and his Master" exhibited at the RA in 1874 and can now be found in Malvern Park Solihull. Royalist and Realist: The Life and Works of Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm by Mark Stocker suggests that there are two other copies in private collections, this bronze is from one of those private collections. (The owner was in correspondence with Stocker, 14th July 1984). Signed "BOEHM". 59cms x 50cms. Rich dark brown over copper brown patination.
