Alfred Wallis (British, 1855-1942)Mount's Bay with St Michael's Mount signed 'A WALLIS' (lower right)oil on panel23.5 x 33 cm. (9 1/4 x 13 in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceBen Nicholson and Dame Barbara Hepworth, by whom gifted toMiss Misomé PeileWith Crane Kalman Gallery, London, May 1986, where acquired by the family of the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.ExhibitedLondon, Tate Gallery, Alfred Wallis, organised by the Arts Council of Great Britain, 30 May-30 June 1968, cat.no.34; this exhibition travelled to York, City Art Gallery, 6-28 July, Aberdeen, Aberdeen Art Gallery, 3-25 August, Kendal, Abbot Hall Art Gallery, 31 August-22 SeptemberMount's Bay with St Michael's Mount enjoys distinguished provenance having formerly been in the collection of Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. The duo were married in 1938 and moved to St Ives the following year just before the outbreak of war, at the invitation of Adrian Stokes and his wife Margaret Mellis. Nicholson however, together with Christopher Wood, had 'discovered' Wallis a decade prior and he was to become the elder artists greatest champion, both buying and promoting his work among some of the most progressive artists, intellectuals and collectors in 1930s Britain. Of that first encounter, Nicholson said 'In August 1928, I went over for the day to St Ives with Kit Wood: this was an exciting day, for not only was it the first time I saw St Ives, but on the way back from Porthmeor beach we passed an open door in Back Road West and through it saw some paintings of ships and houses on odd pieces of paper and cardboard nailed up all over the wall, with particularly large nails through the smallest ones. We knocked on the door and inside found Wallis, and the paintings we got from him then were the first he made.' (Exh.cat., Two Painters, Works by Alfred Wallis and James Dixon, Merrell Holberton London, 1999, p.105).Wallis's unique approach to perspective and the immediacy of his painting sparked a period of intense experimentation for Ben, clear in his exploration of material and proportion during this pivotal period. An inscription verso shows that the work passed from the Nicholson/Hepworth collection to that of Misome Peile. Peile was born in Hampshire into a naval family and studied art under Leonard Fuller at the St Ives School of Painting from 1939-43, where presumably she encountered the 'St Ives set'. She was an invited member of Newlyn Society of Artists and, in 1949, a founder-member of Penwith Society of Arts.The present lot depicts Mount's Bay, so named for the presence of St Michael's Mount, and is a stretch of coastline that features repeatedly in the artist's work. Wallis, as a seaman, would have held great appreciation for the bay, understanding the shelter it offered vessels in bad weather, then as it still does today. The location is identifiable by the Mount itself, upper centre, and the Lizard lighthouse, top right. A large ship with full sails dominates the composition whilst a gaff-rigged cutter bobs alongside in the choppy waters and the crew of both vessels can be seen working on board. Alfred Wallis went to sea at an early age and worked as an Ordinary Seaman on merchant sailing ships for at least sixteen years. Crew lists show that at 19 or 20 years of age he sailed from Penzance to Newfoundland on a Westcountry schooner, Pride of the West, and returned on a Devon ship 'Belleaventure' a brigantine similar to the sailing ship that is the main subject of this painting. Wallis was an experienced seaman. He knew the ropes. Climbing the rigging in all weathers, day or night to make sail adjustments and taking his turn at the ship's wheel were all part of his life aboard ship and he shows this in this painting.With its vivid hues of green and blue, painterly application and map-like composition, the present work is a tour de force by one of Britain's best loved artists, a fact endorsed by the eminent nature of the previous ownership.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

DOLORES RODEIRO BOADO (Galicia, 1853-1898)."Saint James the Apostle".Carved and polychrome wood.Measurements: 113 x 47 x 28 cm.The image of Saint James the Apostle, whom we recognise by his attributes such as the book, the wooden reed with the gourds and the shells on the front of his cloak. Aesthetically, the work follows the stylistic precepts of the Baroque, as can be seen in the treatment of the fabrics that make up the tunic, or the volume achieved by the artist in the waist area. However, the face and hair reveal that this is a 19th-century work. Little is known of Dolores Rodeiro Boado's biography. She was one of the youngest daughters of the Compostela sculptor Francisco Mª Rodeiro Permui, an artist who worked in the second and third thirds of the 19th century. Except for a pause in her training when she moved to Madrid in 1884, where she studied Antique Drawing and Antique Modelling at the School of Fine Arts, her artistic education was linked to her father. In 1875 he obtained an Honourable Mention at the Regional Exhibition in Santiago de Compostela, for a Crucifix and a Saint Ignatius of Loyola.James of Zebedee or James the Greater was one of the first disciples to shed his blood and die for Jesus. A member of a family of fishermen, brother of John the Evangelist - both nicknamed Boanerges ('Sons of Thunder') because of their impulsive temperaments - and one of the three closest disciples of Jesus Christ, the apostle James was not only present at two of the most important moments in the life of the Christian Messiah - the transfiguration on Mount Tabor and the prayer in the Garden of Olives - but was also part of the small group that witnessed his last miracle, his resurrection on the shores of Lake Tiberias. After Christ's death, James, passionate and impetuous, formed part of the initial group of the early Church in Jerusalem and, in his evangelising work, he was assigned, according to medieval traditions, the Spanish peninsular territory, specifically the northwestern region, then known as Gallaecia. Some theories suggest that the current patron saint of Spain arrived in the northern lands via the uninhabited coast of Portugal. Others, however, suggest that he travelled along the Ebro valley and the Cantabrian Roman road, and there are even those who claim that Santiago reached the Peninsula via what is now Cartagena, from where he set out on his journey to the western corner of the map.

KENT – MANUSCRIPT ESTATE PLAN'A Map of a Farm lying in the Parish of Lydd in the County of Kent Belonging to the Reverd.

The family rose in importance and office, providing several mayors of Dover and Lieutenants of Dover Castle as well as three MP's. The Reverend Richard Monins Easton was rector of Ringwould and Charlton in Kent, the son of Richard Monins, headmaster of King's School, Canterbury, from whom he inherited the living. He had died unmarried at the age of 36 in 1770 so our map would appear to have been commissioned at the bequest of his brother and heir, John Monins (b.1741), whose name also appears. A veteran of the American wars he retired from the army at the death of his brother and took up residence at Woodford in Essex where he had inherited property as well as the advowson of Ringwould. In 1777 he bought a property in Canterbury called the Archbishop's Palace on which he built a mansion called 'The Palace' (www.eastkenthistory.org.uk). The subject of our second map, Dunspring Farm was one of several farms comprising the manor of Clayhall in Essex which had passed into the Monins family through a distant relative, Miss Marland. The property remained in the Monins family until 1918.Provenance: John Monins (1741-1806); thence by descent.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
