English school Oil on canvas Three-quarter length portrait of Captain Henry Skillicorne (1678-1763), 97cm x 122cm Label verso, indistinctly signed 'Robert...' Captain Skillicorne was a flamboyant merchant sea captain from the Isle of Man, who had been involved in naval warfare. On retirement he lived in Bristol where he met and married Elizabeth Mason, whose father owned land in Cheltenham. On this land in Bayshill Meadow (now part ofLabel verso, Cheltenham Ladies College) was a spring which local people noticed attracted flocks of pigeons. They were tempted by the salt deposits left by the spring's evaporating mineral waters. Captain Skillicorne developed this spring into what effectively become the first Cheltenham Spa. He built a pump room in 1738 and an avenue of elm trees known as Well Walk in 1743. The last edition was a small assembly room known as the Long Room, ensuring Cheltenham's destination as a luxury spa resort for the Georgians. Live Bidding: Some scratches across the left hand shoulder and middle of the painting. Deep scratch and piercing of the canvas to bottom right. Quite poor repaint over on the finger to the left hand.
