Attributed to ANTONIO CARNEO (Concordia Sagittaria, 1637 - Portogruaro, 1692)."The globetrotter".Oil on canvas. Re-coloured.With label of the Junta Delegada de Incautación and stamped seal on the canvas "Eduardo Groizaro".Provenance: Old Spanish noble collection.It has a 19th century frame.Measurements: 96 x 71 cm; 108,5 x 87 cm (frame).This work has similarities with the piece by Antonio carneo entitled "Il giramundo", which belongs to the collection of the Museo Civeri, Udine. It is true that both works are particularly close in their subject matter. This composition and the subject matter, which was very common in Baroque painting that took as its subject matter scenes from the reality of the Golden Age and the picaresque literature of the time, bring the work close to the naturalistic trend. It is a genre in which popular types and attitudes, behaviour, values and habits common to a specific group of the population, region or class are described by means of satirical, nostalgic or narrative descriptions of the atmosphere, customs, dress, festivals and entertainment, traditions, trades and types representative of a society. The idea of costumbrismo arose from an attempt to understand reality, or more precisely, reality understood in a particular way, from a specific point of view.Italian Baroque painter active in Friuli and Veneto. Although he may have initially trained with his own father, Giacomo Carniello, a painter of some renown, Carneo perfected his skills through the assiduous study of the Venetian masters of the Cinquecento. In Udine, where he lived for over twenty years, from 1667 he enjoyed the protection of the Counts Leonardo and Giovanni Battista Caiselli, who provided him with food and lodging in exchange for paintings. In 1690 he painted for them or through their mediation the altarpiece for the church of San Zeno in Fossalta di Portogruaro and in the same year he signed the Education of the Virgin and Saints in the church of San Cristoforo in Udine. He died in December 1692 in Portogruaro, busy painting for the parish church of Fossalta, an admirer of Flemish painting, tenebrism and the naturalism of Bernardo Strozzi and Luca Giordano, his painting was appreciated for the natural colouring and verism of his models. Well-equipped for portraits, as evidenced by the first of his known works, the Holy Family Adored by the Lieutenant and the Deputies in the Museo Civico in Udine, dated 1667, he sometimes exaggerated the rustic and picaresque character of his models and the drama of the situations.

D.F.C. London Gazette 20 February 1940 ‘For gallantry and devotion to duty in the execution of Air Operations during period 3 September 1939 to 31 December 1939.’ D.F.C. Second Award Bar London Gazette 22 November 1940. The original Recommendation states: ‘On 2 June 1940 Flying Officer Stephens was leader of an aircraft ordered to attack an enemy battery on the French coast, which had been harassing our naval forces engaged in the evacuation of Dunkirk. He showed great courage and determination in pressing home his attack at a very low altitude in the face of intense A.A. fire, which enabled the section to bomb the target with conspicuous success. Flying Officer Stephens was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross on 20th February, 1940, for the good work he had carried out during the first five months of the war, and since that time he has continued to carry out valuable operational flying. He has displayed great determination and initiative on all occasions.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 31 January 1947: ‘For services whilst a prisoner of war.’ John William Stephens was born in Calcutta on 20 September 1917, the son of Captain J. W. Stephens, Lincolnshire Regiment, and was commissioned Acting Pilot Officer in the Royal Air Force on 9 August 1937. Posted to 107 Squadron (Blenheims), based at R.A.F. Wattisham, Suffolk, on 7 March 1939, he flew with the Squadron during the initial stages of the Second World War in operational sorties including the Wilhelmshaven Raid on 4 September 1939, where he was the only member of 107 Squadron to return from the first raid of the War when the attack was carried out on the German battle fleet at Wilhelmshaven. For his services with 107 Squadron in the first few months of the War he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Promoted Flying Officer on 31 December 1939, and Flight Lieutenant on 31 December 1940, Stephens flew operational sorties with the Squadron until 23 June 1940, when he crashed over Holland. He was wounded and taken prisoner of war, whilst the two other members of his crew were killed. A letter from a German solider gives the following statement: I have rescued Lieutenant Stevens [sic] out of the wreckage of his plane and rushed him on the fastest possible way to the Wilhelmina Hospital at Amsterdam. Lieutenant Stevens could only be saved by means of a blood transfusion. I volunteered as the blood donor.’ Stephens received a Second Award Bar to his D.F.C. whilst a Prisoner of War, having been recommended a month before his crash. His Commanding Officer, Basil Embry, wrote the following account: ‘As I was his Commanding Officer from the beginning of the War until the end of May I know how well he deserved it; he always did a magnificent job of work and personally I think his conduct and high courage whilst in action were always up to the very highest traditions of our Service and in fact, I doubt if they have been surpassed in this War. I sympathise with you on him being a prisoner, but I suppose you must consider yourself lucky that he is still alive... I feel sure that if your son gets the slightest chance he will get away, as I have not yet met a Hun that is good enough to hold him.’ Stephens spent six months recovering from his wound in the Wilhelmina Hospital, Amsterdam, before being moved to the French P.O.W. Hospital in Berilin for a further three month period. Having fully recuperated he was imprisoned in various camps, including Stalag Luft III at Sagan from April 1943 to January 1945. During his imprisonment in Sagan, Stephens was a code letter writer for ‘X’ Organisation and sent messages from the camp to I.S.9.; and also made twelve attempts to escape by tunnelling, all of which were unsuccessful (M.I.9. Debrief refers). He would also have been involved with the ‘Great Escape’ from Sagan, which led to the escape of 76 Allied Air Force Officers. Following the cessation of hostilities, Stephens returned to service with 107 Squadron, and was promoted Squadron Leader on 1 August 1947. Posted Squadron Commander of 8 Squadron (Bristol Brigands and Buckmasters) on 5 February 1952, he was tragically killed in a crash whilst piloting Buckmaster RP209 on 21 April 1952, and is buried in the European Cemetery, Aden. For the recipient’s father’s full sized and miniature medals, see Lots 277 and 644.

London Gazette 23 May 1917: ‘For conspicuous bravery and skill in attacking hostile aircraft. On the morning of the 11th April 1917, while escorting our bombing machines, he brought down three hostile aircraft. The first he attacked and brought down completely out of control. He was then attacked by three hostile scouts who forced him down to within about two hundred feet of the ground. By skilful piloting he manoeuvred his machine close behind one of them, which was driven down and wrecked. Shortly afterwards this Officer was again attacked by a hostile scout, which he eventually brought down a short time before recrossing the lines. He then landed at one of the aerodromes, his machine having been riddled with bullets from the hostile machines, and also by rifle fire from the ground.’ D.S.C. Second Award Bar London Gazette 19 December 1917: ‘In recognition of the conspicuous courage displayed by him in attacking enemy aircraft in superior numbers on many occasions. On the 15th October 1917, he attacked an enemy machine from in front at very close range, at times within twenty five yards. He then turned sharply and attacked from behind, sending the enemy machine down spinning on its back and emitting great volumes of black smoke.’ D.S.C. Third Award Bar London Gazette 19 December 1917: ‘In recognition of his services on the 12th and 13th November 1917, when he had successful engagements with three enemy machines. He has always shown great courage and gallantry in the face of the enemy, and maintained a high record of achievement, having destroyed many enemy machines.’ A.F.C. London Gazette 1 January 1919. Joseph Stewart Temple Fall was born at Cowichan, British Columbia, son of Mr and Mrs Henry Temple Fall. In 1915, he signed with the Royal Naval Air Service and went overseas. After pilot training he was sent to 3 Naval Squadron during the latter part of 1916, flying Sopwith Pups. In May 1917 he received the D.S.C. for his action on 11 April, and in July he became a Flight Lieutenant. On 30 August 1917 he was promoted to Flight Commander and posted to 9 Naval Squadron, having at this time claimed 13 victories, eight of which had been officially confirmed as destroyed. With 9 Naval he became a most competent flight commander, always encouraging his young pilots to join him in attacking enemy machines. By the end of the year when he returned to England he had brought his score to 36; it will be noted 11 of these were shared by him with his flight members. For his work he received 2 bars to his D.S.C. In April 1918, he joined the staff of the School of Gunnery and Fighting at Freiston in England, where he spent the remainder of the war as an instructor. For this work he was awarded the A.F.C. in 1919 and accepted a permanent commission with the Royal Air Force. He was a Squadron Leader in the mid 1930s. In 1935 he was testing automatic flying controls (autopilot) at the Home Aircraft Depot at Henlow and became a Wing Commander in 1936. Promotion to Group Captain followed in 1940, and then retirement in 1945, following which he returned to Canada. He died at Enderby, British Columbia, on 15 December 1988, aged 93.
