‡ SIR KYFFIN WILLIAMS RA rare watercolour and pencil – St. Mary’s Chapel in the hamlet of Capel-y-ffin, near Llanthony, Powys, signed with initials Dimensions: 38 x 47cmsProvenance:private collection Gwynedd, consigned via our Colwyn Bay office, purchased by vendor from Tegfryn Gallery, Menai Bridge, Ynys Mon, circa 1994Auctioneer's Note:the chapel in the remote hamlet of Capel-y-ffin is important in the story of Welsh and British art. Between 1924 and 1928, the monastery was home to the peripatetic sculptor, typographer and craftsman Eric Gill and his family. Eric Gill chose the isolated location to establish an ideal of communal, artistic cohabitation. He converted the monastery’s dilapidated chambers into workshops and living quarters and created an environment without distinction between work and play. Although the practical difficulties of life in the Black Mountains often frustrated, it was during this time that Gill created his best-known work, the Sans Serif typeface, for the Monotype Corporation in 1926. An English translation of ‘Capel-y-ffin’ is ‘Chapel of the boundary’ or ‘Chapel at the end’. In the churchyard, as seen in this drawing by Sir Kyffin, are headstones carved by Eric Gill. The graves lie at the edge of the chapel boundary enclosed by a low stone wall perimeter. On the wall nearest to the chapel door is a reproduction of a crucifixion ‘Sanctus Christus de Capel-y-ffin’, a gouache by David Jones, the Welsh poet, illustrator, calligrapher, and artist who lived with Eric Gill and his family, at the Monastery from 1925, Jones was for a short period engaged to their daughter, Petra.This is the first time that Rogers Jones & Co have encountered a work by Sir Kyffin of iconic Capel-y-ffin.Condition Report:no problems, framed and glazed

A descendent modernised and remodelled the property in the mid 19thC.
