London Gazette 8 June 1950. D.S.O. London Gazette 9 September 1942: ‘In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in the Middle East during the period November 1941 to April 1942.’ The original Recommendation states: ‘Throughout the operations of 7th Armoured Division in November to December 1941, Colonel Hatton was Assistant Adjutant and Quartermaster General of the 7th Armoured Division and in this capacity was not only responsible for the maintenance, recovery and evacuation for three Armoured Brigades, Support Group and numerous Divisional Troops but also for the considerable number of other formations and units who were from time to time put under the Division. The initial planning and actual administrative execution lay entirely in his hands and in the ups and downs of a prolonged battle owed much to his initiative and determination. Although large enemy Armoured forces at one time cut the communications he never failed to maintain the Division. Always himself moving about the battlefield, coolheaded, unprotected and controlling his services with wireless he kept himself well in the picture and thus his foresight and resource enabled the Division to be maintained in a battle which took them 400 miles in 40 days.’ O.B.E. London Gazette 30 December 1941: ‘In recognition of distinguished services in the Middle East during the period February to July 1941.’ The original Recommendation states: ‘This Officer joined Alexandria Area H.Q., Staff on its formation and became responsible for its organisation from its inception. During the period in which he has served as Assistant Adjutant and Quartermaster General and Senior Staff Officer at this H.Q., vast problems have had to be dealt with, including the accommodation and evacuation of 120,000 Prisoners of War; the embarkation of 63,000 Officers and men and 10,000 vehicles for Greece; the accommodation and evacuation of 12,500 Officers and men evacuated from Greece, and 12,000 Officers and men from Crete in circumstances of considerable difficulty. His untiring energy and devotion to duty contributed in a large degree to the success of these operations. He has at all times shown himself to be unsparing in his efforts, has displayed marked ability and his services have contributed considerably to the successful solution of many and diverse problems connected with the prosecution of War.’ M.I.D. London Gazette 1 April 1941: ‘For distinguished services in the Middle East during the period August 1939 to November 1940.’ M.I.D.

His bold colour contrasts and elegant, linear compositions, painted with a certain polish, displayed the Florentine tradition of artists such as Carlo Dolci. According to the biography of Filippo Baldinucci’s (1624–1697), Cesare Dandini was a precocious artist who trained first with Francesco Curradi and then briefly with Cristofano Allori. Baldinucci writes that ‘Pietro, suo padre, decise di rimuoverlo e lo collocò con Cristofano Allori, essendo stato precedentemente con Curradi per lo spazio di tre anni interi. Ciò avrebbe aperto un ampio campo a Dandini per diventare un grande uomo imitando lo stile di quel grande maestro.’ (‘Pietro, his father, decided to remove him and placed him with Cristofano Allori, as he had already been with Curradi for three full years. This change would have given Dandini ample opportunity to become a great artist by emulating the style of that great master.’) He then went on to train with Domenico Passignano, who returned to Florence in 1616. Baldinucci also wrote that Dandini was an exceptionally beautiful youth, as seen in his Self-Portrait as a young man, and Curradi's model for numerous Madonnas, with a temperament that meant he was offended by the scurrilous activities in Allori's studio, a reaction that accords with the sense of refinement in his art. Their nephew Pietro Dandini was Vincenzo's pupil, and Pietro's two sons, Ottaviano (1681-1740) and Vincenzo (1686-1734), a Jesuit, worked as painters in Florence.In 1621 he enrolled in the Accademia del Disegno and by 1631 he had acquired many patrons, notably Lorenzo de' Medici who would remain one of his most important supporters. He developed a theatrical, idealised style that was harmonious in form and colour and restrained in movement and expression. He shared with Florentine contemporaries Jacopo Vignali and Carlo Dolci a devotion to the style initiated in the 1590s by Lodovico Cigoli, Gregorio Pagani, Jacopo da Empoli, Domenico Passignano and Francesco Curradi and refined in the 1610s and 1620s by Matteo Rosselli, Giovanni Bilivert and Cristofano Allori, who was perhaps the most influential for Dandini. His production included everything from portraits in miniature on copper to large-scale portrayals of religious and literary themes, as well as half and three quarter length secular and allegorical figures, such as the present painting. An Allegory of Painting and Poetry (Ut Pictura Poesis) is undoubtedly one of the most elegant and refined allegorical compositions in Dandini's oeuvre, which can be dated between the late 1640s or early 1650s. Here, two allegorical female figures are shown in conversation with one another, their statuesque poses enhanced by the marble-like beauty of their pale skin. With her head turned slightly to the right, Poetry gestures to a putto with her left hand, and rests her right hand on an open book which is placed on an ornate wooden lectern, on which a mask hangs. Her companion, the female figure of Painting, is represented with her paint brushes and a stylus in her hands. The Allegory of Painting and Poetry is an iconographic theme which was highly regarded by the Florentine painters of the seventeenth century in reference to Horace's Ars Poetica and the traditional motto of ut pictura poesis, a Latin phrase meaning ‘as is painting so is poetry’. The idea of ut pictura poesis captures the complementary nature of poetry, or writing, and painting, equating the inspiration of the poet and writer with the imagination of the painter. Both are concerned with the imitation of nature: the painter through visual elements and the poet or writer through words.
