RICHARD WILSON RA (1713 - 1782) Portrait of Major Richard Callis, c. 1741 The sitter is dressed in the uniform of the First - or King's - Dragoon Guards. Oil on Canvas 76.2 x 63.5 cm (30" x 25") Richard Wilson began his career as a portraitist. Born at Pengoes in Wales and trained in London under Thomas Wright (1728-37), Wilson had a respectable practice by 1744, but faced stern competition from other established London masters and decided to travel to Italy to seek new patronage. He arrived in Venice in 1750 and later moved to Rome, where he resolved to start anew as a landscape artist, for which he is most renowned. Works such as the Portrait of Major Richard Callis demonstrate that Wilson's talent in portraiture is not to be underestimated. In particular the broad and clear use of colour and the preference for strokes of white in pastel - here employed in the wig - have parallels in the landscapes where the white pigments are similarly impastoed in the clouds. In the 20th century, the portrait was acquired by The Hon. Mrs. Nellie Ionides, the fourth daughter of Sir Marcus Samuel Viscount Bearsted, whose painting collection forms the Bearsted Collection at Upton House. Some of Mrs. Ionides' paintings are still in family ownership, others in galleries including the Victoria and Albert Museum. PROVENANCE: The Collection of Mr and Mrs Basil Ionides, Buxted Park, Sussex: By family descent to 2004 when acquired by current owner at Chomè Fine Art, Bath.

He is considered a hero?...They call Napoleon a Hero. What kind of hero kills thousands of people in frozen temperatures like in Austerlitz and is considered a hero? Who is a Hero besides the Mother?. The Mother is the Symbol of purity, faith and unconditional Love and the greatest secret in the Universe is Love' - Paul GuiragossianAchieving recognition in his own lifetime and honoured with a state funeral upon his death, Paul Guiragossian is remembered as one of the most talented and progressive artists to emerge from Lebanon. Guiragossian was born in 1926 in Jerusalem to survivors of the Armenian genocide. Due to exile, Guiragossian's family settled in Beirut, Lebanon in 1947. In 1956, Guiragossian received a scholarship from the Italian Government to study at The Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, which was soon followed by a further scholarship from the French government to attend Les Ateliers des Maîtres de L'Ecole de Paris. By the mid-1960s Guiragossian had grown to become one of the most celebrated artist in the Arab world and in 1989 he became the first artist to have a solo show at the Institut de Monde Arabe in Paris.Guiragossian's genius lies in his ability to simultaneously provoke both joy and despair. Although the war broke out in the early 1970s, his attachment for his country grew larger and his works became more colourful with messages of hope for his people. From the mid-1970s onwards, most of Guiragossian's paintings conveyed a sense of solidarity, a collective joy or at times suffering. The female figure was also seen visible throughout Guiragossian's oeuvre; the fascination with the mother being the vital support system through good and bad, the caretaker and the bearer of life plays a central role and a key subject matter in his paintings. His work reflects a reality both deeply personal and universally relatable, as his obsession with the subject matter transcends from his own eternal longing for his own mother.These stunning paintings are superlative examples of Guiragossian's gestural and expressive painting style as clothed female figures are defined by thick elongated impasto paint.La Famille is an emotionally captivating composition; here Guiragossian celebrates and glorifies motherhood by painting allusions to the religious icons of the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus. The figures are dressed in a soft pastel colour palette infusing a sense of warmth, positivity and hope. The brown earthy tones against the white create a gentle aesthetic and beautiful harmony. The proximity of the faceless elongated figures with their arms wrapped around the new born baby suggests the coming together of a family and the intimate and eternal bond between them regardless of their fear and displacement due to the war.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
