* JOHN DANIEL REVEL ROI RP (SCOTTISH 1884 - 1967), PORTRAIT OF A CHILD oil on canvas, signed 51cm x 42cm Framed Note: John D Revel was born in Dundee in 1884. He studied at Dundee School of Art, becoming an Art Pupil Teacher. After qualifying as a teacher he taught for two years in Shipley, Yorkshire before becoming the Principal Teacher of architecture in Preston, Lancashire. In 1906 he gained an open Scholarship to the RCA and in 1911 left the College with a degree in architecture, a degree in painting and the award of a Travelling Scholarship for painting. After a year abroad he was offered and took up the post of Headmaster at Chelsea School of Art. He also saw service in the First World War in Mesopotamia and India, becoming an official artist to the Expeditionary Force (water-colour paintings survive from this time). He specialised in portraiture and landscape. Revel was elected a member of the International Society of Painters, the Royal Portrait Society and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. In 1925 he took up the post of Director at Glasgow School of Art. Under his directorship the Extension Building (now the Assembly Hall) was built and the School saw an upsurge in student and social events, notably the development of the Student Representative Council, the growth of the Glasgow School of Art Dramatic Club and the birth of the Kinecraft Society. Revel kept up the tradition of teacher/headmaster/director by occasionally taking the architect's drawing class. The degree course in Architecture produced its first graduates during his time as director, quite a few of whom were women. The artist has works in the collections of Glasgow and Dundee museums. Only three of Revel's paintings are recorded in UK auction records (Artnet) with the most recent being ''New Orleans Boy'', a 50 x 40cm oil on canvas, which was sold by McTear's for £1800 (hammer) as lot 1486 29th November 2012.
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A cast bronze chariot attachment, for placement on the wheel hub, terminating in three standing, dancing bears. Comes with custom stand. Size: 1.2" L x 1.7" W x 3.7" H (3 cm x 4.3 cm x 9.4 cm); height on stand: 5.25" (13.3 cm).The bears have simple features, with wide arms outstretched almost to touch each other (two do, but that seems to be a result of post-production bending rather than intention). They stand atop a round, hollow tube with a wider central section and cast rope-like designs around the exterior marking out each of the three sections.Dancing bears were a common form of spectacle in Rome: authors like Lucian and Seneca, decrying the roughness of the Roman citizenry, describe serious plays interrupted by crowds chanting for athletic feats, tumbling, and bear dancing. Here they are playful, perhaps reflecting a personal favorite entertainment of the person who commissioned this piece. Provenance: Ex-private east coast, USA collection Condition: Slight bending to body, especially around center area. Smooth, dark green patina over surface. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
