Thornhill (Sir James, 1675-1734) Portrait group of two architects and young boy, possibly Sir Christopher Wren and family, pen and brown ink, brown wash, red chalk, partial ink and chalk borderline, on laid paper without watermark, image 140 x 184 mm (5 1/4 x 7 1/4 in), sheet 185 x 232 mm (7 1/4 x 9 1/8 in), laid onto paper support, some handling creases, minor surface dirt, framed, [circa 1715]Provenance:Collection of John and Eileen Harris *** There are a number of similar drawings by Sir James Thornhill held in institutional collections that compare very closely with the present sheet, including 'Design for a portrait of an architect or a painter' [Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection, acc. no. B1975.4.955], and 'Portrait of a Geographer, Wife, and Child' [Art Institute Chicago, acc. no. 1922.1604]. The Leonora Hall Gurley Memorial Collection, Art Institute Chicago, also holds a number of other single figure portrait studies in ink by Thornhill, which all appear to uphold the attribution.The most likely architect would be Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723), his son Christopher Jnr (1675-1747), aged 39, and his grandson (another Christopher) who was born in 1711. The globe in the background could relate to the portrait of Sir Christopher Wren in the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford, begun by Antonio Verrio before 1707 and completed by Sir Godfrey Kneller and Thornhill. Thornhill got the commission to decorate the dome of St Paul’s in 1714, which might provide an approximate date for this drawing if it does depict the Wrens.We are grateful to Charles Hind for his assistance in cataloguing the present drawing, and for his identification of the sitters.

The statue is a typical example of Baroque sacral art, which emphasizes drama, movement and emotional expression of the characters. The figure of God the Father is depicted with a majestic aura, holding a golden cross on a globe, symbolizing his rule over the world and his divine power. Baroque sculptures often emphasize dynamism and movement, which we can see in the gesture of God the Father - with one hand pointing upwards, which refers to the connection with heaven, while with the other hand he firmly holds the world. The dramatic fold of the robe and the details of the face underline the emotional charge of the entire composition. | condition report*In case of missing photos, please feel free to contact us.
