GIOVANNI FRANCESCO BARBIERI, CALLED IL GUERCINO (ITALIAN 1591-1666) YOUNG DAVID Oil on canvas 69 x 56cm (27 x 22 in.) This unpublished canvas may be identified as the 'testa di un davide' that Guercino painted for his friend Gerolamo Panesi and for which he was paid 30 scudi on 16 October 1649.1 In her comment to the above entry in her 1997 edition of Guercino's Account Book, Barbara Ghelfi noted that a canvas corresponding to this payment had yet to be identified.  In the painting, David holds the sword with which he had beheaded Goliath. Rather than engage the spectator he stares into the distance, as if pondering the consequences of his victory. The velvety paint textures, the attractive colouring, the figure's classical pose and the delicate rendering of selected details fit perfectly with Guercino's mid-Bolognese period. The occasional flourishes of impasto that punctuate the smooth paint surface include the plume on David's cap and the fur of the lining to his cloak, especially where it touches and slightly overlaps his right thumb. The beguiling combinations of a narrow range of forceful secondary colours, mostly of neighbouring hue, may also be seen in the Cleopatra, now in a private collection, which Panesi ordered from Guercino only a few months later.2 In 1648-1650 Panesi commissioned at least five pictures from Guercino. Panesi was a Genoese nobleman and art dealer and, during the artist's Bolognese period, was one of his more consistent and discerning clients, selling on some of the pictures he had commissioned from the master at a higher price in Rome, where he was mainly resident.3 Guercino stuck resolutely to his tariffs, yet somehow Panesi was able to persuade the painter to give him a discount, for example by reducing his standard-sized canvases in return for dropping his charge.  In the following year, Guercino painted a 'Meza Figura del davide con la Testa di Golia Gigante' for a Sig. Lodovico Fermi of Piacenza, for which he was paid 75 scudi on 12 October 1650.4 Fermi's David is known from two versions-the actual-sized sketch in the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo, and the finished picture, now in a private collection.5 Both correspond almost exactly in size and are significantly larger than the present picture. 6 In format, a half-length was the next size up from a head-and-shoulders and it generally included extra details, such as, in this instance, Goliath's severed head. Fermi paid Guercino 75 scudi for his picture, as compared to Panesi's 30 scudi, for a picture just over half the size of Fermi's, painted in the previous year.  With such a busy practice, Guercino was inevitably asked to paint the same subject several times, especially for his half-lengths and heads. A commission for a subject, perhaps painted previously on other occasions, required a fresh invention. Guercino could avoid repetitions by referencing past drawings, but inevitably one compositional treatment morphed subtly into the next. From the point of view of Guercino's creative method, much may be learned by comparing Panesi's David with Fermi's, since similarities and differences abound, in costume, pose, studio props and facture.  Two further works by Guercino, both half-lengths, connect in design with the present picture. The first is a drawing in the Royal Library, Windsor Castle, ascribed to Guercino but clearly by him. Despite the composition's half-length format, it could well have been made as a study for this canvas, with the head of Goliath included as an alternative to David's sword.7 Notwithstanding these differences, the overall correspondence is close. The second is a painting formerly in the collection of the King of Sardegna, now belonging to the Galleria Sabauda, Turin, presently on show at the Venaria Reale, which is reproduced here from a lithograph by Luigi Poggioli.8 As here, Goliath's head is absent from the composition of the Turin picture. Its larger size and the introduction of the regal columnar architecture in the background bring it nearer to Fermi's canvas.  Strong echoes of the present painting are easily to be found in the Windsor drawing and the Turin picture. But it is the hybrid format of the present canvas that pins it down as the one ordered by Panesi. It is a reduced-sized half-length and is bigger and has more detail than Guercino's normal head-and-shoulders format. This rare exception to the painter's rule was probably the result of Panesi's successful haggling.  Notes: 1). B. Ghelfi (ed.), Il libro dei conti del Guercino, 1629-1666, Bologna, 1997, p. 143, no. 413. When the picture was first shown to me, on 17 January 2013, I wrongly attributed it to Guercino's nephew Cesare Gennari. Five years later, following my immersion in Guercino's works in preparation for my monograph on him published last year, the presence of the master's hand is all too clear to me, and I now have no hesitation in giving the picture to him in full. 2).

* WILLIAM GEAR RA FRSA RBSA (SCOTTISH 1915 - 1997), UNTITLED 1958 mixed media on paper, signed and dated '58mounted, framed and under glass image size 43cm x 61cm, overall size 64cm x 81cm Provenance: Family of William GearNote: William Gear was a painter born in Fife, Scotland, on 2nd August 1915, the son of Janet Gear and Porteous Gear, a coal miner. He studied at Edinburgh College of Art from 1932 – 6, gaining a postgraduate scholarship that enabled him to study art at Edinburgh University from 1936 -7. Winning a travelling scholarship enabled him to visit Italy, Greece, and the Balkans and to study in Paris with Fernand Leger. After serving throughout the Second World War as an officer in the Royal Corps of Signals he settled in Paris where he met many of the leading post-war Parisian artists. After meeting Appel, Constant, Corneille and Jorn, he joined the COBRA group, Europe’s most important avant-garde movement of the mid – twentieth century. COBRA is an acronym based on Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam in acknowledgement of the founders’ nationalities and to emphasise the internationalism of their attitude. The COBRA painters emphasised spontaneity – an image, they felt, should appear on the canvas as naturally and quickly as a sudden change of weather in the world beyond the window. And it ought to be as impersonal as a thunderstorm. William Gear exhibited with the group in Amsterdam and Copenhagen in 1949; however, beyond his association with COBRA he had a long and successful career in his own right. For example, he was awarded a Festival of Britain Purchase Prize in 1951 and his work appeared at the 1954 Venice Biennale. He became a Senior Royal Academician in 1995 and his work is held in many major public and private collections around the world. In our auctions of 1st August and 12th September 2024, five examples of William Gear's work were offered and sold achieving £2000, £2400, £2400, £4000 & £4000 (all hammer prices).

* JONATHAN HOOD (SCOTTISH b. 1957), DANCERS oil on board, signed, titled and dated 2006 versoframedimage size 48cm x 46cm, overall size 65cm x 62cm Note: Jonathan Hood was born in 1957 in Edinburgh, and grew up in Fife and Tayside. He was artistically trained at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris. Jonathan became a full time painter in 1986, mostly working in watercolour and collage. He is a keen art teacher, regularly running children’s workshops as well as adult night-classes. In 2006, he conducted a collage and painting workshop in Morgan Academy, Dundee for the Racial Equality Commission enabling 2 school pupils to reach the final. Since 2006, Jonathan has also run the WASPS studio open weekend in Dundee. Currently, Jonathan is working mostly in oil, using bright colours and painting on board. He has been exhibiting regularly in galleries around the UK, and in Holland, France and Italy. Jonathan uses dramatic blocks of colour to create depth and texture within his works. His clever compositions create narratives through the interaction between figures, and the addition of carefully selected props to be interpreted by the viewer. It is a testament to his artistic skill that he can convey strong emotion with only the simplest of brushstrokes to represent facial features.
