Frederic Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton P.R.A., R.W.S., known as Sir Frederic Leighton (British, 1830-1896): An important bronze figure of 'An Athlete Wrestling A Python'The posthumous cast published by Ernest Brown and Phillips at the Leicester Galleries, circa 1909On rectangular naturalistic base, signed, dated and numbered to one side F. LEIGHTON 1877 XVI, and inscribed to the base verso PUBD BY ERNEST BROWN & PHILLIPS AT THE LEICESTER GALLERIES, LEICESTER SQUARE, LONDON., brown patina, raised on a corresponding verde antico shallow square plinth, the bronze, 52cm high, 34m wide, 29cm deep, the marble plinth, 2.5vm high, 31cm wide, 22cm deepFootnotes:ProvenanceAcquired by Sunderland businessman, Paul Wayman, circa 1920Thence by family descent to the present owner. Although Leighton's fame as a renowned and celebrated painter was firmly established by the close of the third quarter of the 19th century, his success in sculptural terms did come until 1877 when he debuted his work 'Athlete Wrestling with a Python' at the Royal Academy. At the time of exhibition, it was also alternatively known to reviewers as 'An Athlete Strangling a Python' and 'An Athlete Struggling with a Python'. Whichever title its reviewers used, the finished work was held to great acclaim by both critics and the public and it catapulted Leighton to an international spotlight, later leading him to be proclaimed as 'the father of the English New Sculpture movement'. However, even though he only returned to the medium of sculpture on two subsequent occasions with his figures of 'Needless Alarms' and 'The Sluggard', both of which also proved highly successful, it was this sculpture that defined him for posterity to both critics and the public alike. Influenced by antique Greek sculpture and particularly 'The Laocoön' which formed part of the Vatican sculpture collection, the work represents a dramatic life and death scene of a classical male nude contending a python which is coiled around his left thigh and whose head is held at bay by his rigidly outstretched arm. Leighton's powerful and complex design commands a sense of suppressed energy and opposing forces momentarily balanced at a point of supreme tension. Although the realism of the figures anatomy was undoubtedly influenced by the sculptors of antiquity and the Renaissance including the work of Michelangelo, it also owned a debt to contemporary French sculpture which gave it a naturalism far removed from the uniform excesses of the neo-classical works produced by sculptors of a generation before.The model for the work was the professional sitter, Angelo Colorosi who was a leading figure in the Italian group of professional male models in the later 19th century. From contemporary interviews which Leighton made with the Studio magazine in the early 1890's, he confirmed he originally modelled the piece as a small-scale clay figure. However, the decision to turn it into a large-scale bronze was made on the encouragement of either the sculptor Jules Dalou (French, 1838-1901) who was in exile in London during that time or perhaps his contemporary, Alphonse Legros (French, 1837-1911). Assisted by Leighton's protégé, Thomas Brock (British, 1847-1922), the full-size model was first modelled in plaster and then cast in bronze by Cox & Son before it was exhibited at the Royal Academy. Its influence was also far reaching to the new generation of emerging New Sculpture artists including the young Brock, Hamo Thorneycroft, Edward Onslow Ford, George Frampton and interestingly, Alfred Gilbert, who's first work, a figure of 'Icarus' was coincidentally commissioned by Leighton. The sculpture's popularity was sealed when it was purchased on behalf of the Tate by the Chantrey Bequest in 1877 and it won the gold medal when it appeared at the prestigious Exposition Universelle in Paris the following year. A monumental marble replica of the sculpture was subsequently commissioned by the wealthy Danish brewer Carl Jacobsen for the museum bearing his name in 1882 and much of the carving for this work was done by the New Sculpture sculptor Frederick Pomeroy (British, 1856-1924) at the start of his career whilst still working in Brocks studios.Reductions of the bronze were posthumously published in edition casts of two similar sizes between 1903-1910. The first edition was published by Arthur Collie. The second edition was published by Ernest Brown and Phillips at the Leicester Galleries. In 1909, The Magazine of Art announced that the Leicester Galleries were to publish Leighton's 'An Athlete Struggling with a Python' in an unspecified limited edition. The offered lot appears to be a relatively early cast from this second edition.Frederic Leighton was the son of doctor and began his artistic education in Italy when he travelled to Rome and Florence in 1840 before becoming a pupil of Zanetti and meeting the American sculptor Hiram Powers. Moving to Frankfurt in 1844 he studied under the Nazarene painter E. J. von Steinle at the Institut Staedel before travelling to Brussels and Paris then finally returning to Rome in 1852.Surrounded by a group of ex-patriot writers and artists such as Thackeray, Browning and Gibson, he established his reputation as a painter with his work 'Cimabue's Madonna carried in Procession' which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1855 and subsequently purchased by Queen Victorian and Prince Albert for the Royal Collection.At the Royal Academy, Leighton progressed from ARA in 1864 and RA in 1868 to become President in 1878. At the same time in keeping with his growing stature he also began work on his house, no. 2 Holland Park Road (now the Leighton House Museum) in 1865. In public life, he was the only sculptor to receive a barony being created a baronet in 1886 and Baron Leighton of Stretton in 1896.Related LiteratureStephen Jones, Christopher Newall, Leonée Ormond, Richard Ormond, Benedict Read, Frederic, Lord Leighton, Eminent Victorian Artist, 1996, Harry N.

A visual history of his work appears in his latest book Glitterati. David Bowie Polaroid, London, 1981.'This polaroid was taken at a party at Regine's nightclub on top of a building in Kensington London. I spotted Bowie in the garden and nervously went up to him and asked if I could take his photo and do a Polaroid of him. He agreed but wanted us to go somewhere a little more secluded. I took the Polaroid and all the while I'm thinking, he's going to remember me as the photographer who'd taken his photo at the Blitz Club without his permission about six months before. He was asking me questions about my attire, especially the Andrew Logan mirror bowtie I was wearing. He then said ' Ahh, Robert Rosen with the looking glass bowtie.' I smiled and showed him the Polaroid that by now had fully developed. But it had my fingerprints across the top of it as I'd been nervously holding it too hard whilst talking to David. I suggested we take another one, but he said 'No I like it, it's art' and he signed it.'- Robert RosenThe Charlie Watts Polaroid is the only unsigned photograph in the collection. When Rosen asked Watts to sign it, his excuse for not doing so was because John Lennon had passed away that day.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
