FREDERIC, LORD LEIGHTON (1830-1896)THE SLUGGARDbronze, with dark brown patina, inscribed to the base THE SLUGGARD and signed FRED. LEIGHTON, on a hardwood stand55cm high overallProvenance: The Fine Art Society, LondonNote: Sir Frederic Leighton was one of the pioneering figures in New English Sculpture, who during his eighteen year period as President of the Royal Academy, succeeded in elevating the status of British sculpture through teaching and exhibitions. Leighton became known as the father of New English Sculpture as a result of his guiding influence over the new generation of sculptors like Alfred Gilbert who recalled that the students at the Academy ''all had an ideal to emulate Leighton in his aims in Art''. The original figure of 'The Sluggard' is a life-size bronze sculpture and one of Leighton's seminal artworks. The clay sketch was exhibited at the Royal Academy's Exhibition in 1896 with a fig leaf over his genitalia in order to avoid sexualising the sculpture when on display to the Victorian public. The muscular youth languidly arches his back in an elegant contrapposto pose in the manner of classical Greco-Roman sculptures which celebrated the athletic male nude as the pinnacle of perfection. The work was initially titled Athlete Awakening From Sleeping in reference to the quick clay sketch Leighton made of his life model Giuseppe Valona who rose to stretch after a particularly long sitting making this sculpture an intriguing marriage of idealism and naturalism. 'The Sluggard' has been interpreted by Benedict Read as Leighton freeing himself from the shackles of sculptural convention as his work abandons frozen classical prototypes for a distinctly modern pose.
