Dublin, later called Abbotstown;with the Gorry Gallery, Dublin;Where purchased by the present owner"`An Exhibition of 18th - 21st Century Irish Paintings`, Gorry Gallery, Dublin, 26 November to 6 December 2003, catalogue nos. 16 & 17We have here two of the finest examples of early 19th century Irish equestrian art to grace the auction rooms for a long time.They are painted by William Brocas, a member of a distinguished family of 18th century Irish artists, famous for their portraits, landscapes and streetscapes, many of them popularised by engravings and illustrations in books and periodicals.William was born around 1794-5. He practised in Dublin and exhibited at the Society of Artists from 1809, when only a teenager, and at the RHA from 1828 to 1863. He was elected an ARHA in 1854 and RHA in 1860. Among his most well known works are his depiction of the New Post Office (known to us today as the GPO) in 1818, which was engraved by J. Martyn, The Departure of Irish Emigrants which was purchased and by The Irish Art Union in 1842 and printed by them and a very fine View of Bray Head in the collection of the NGI.In the first painting we see Colonel Westenra`s racehorse, Freney, with jockey and attendants on The Curragh, County Kildare. Freney, was sired by Roller out of the mare Promise. At the time of this painting he was the property of Colonel Henry Westenra of Camla Vale, Co. Monaghan. Colonel Westenra had served in India with the 8th Royal Hussars, and was the brother of William Westenra who inherited the title of Lord Rossmore from his uncle, John Cunningham, a distinguished Anglo-Irish soldier, who died without issue. The Westenra family was originally from Holland, and settled in Ireland in the 17th century - interestingly before the arrival of William of Orange.The setting of the picture is the Westenra family`s Curragh stud, Brownstown, which along with the adjacent Lark Lodge Stud, then belonging to William Disney, made up, as it does to this day, the oldest continuously operating stud in Britain and Ireland.The Curragh Camp can be seen to the left of the composition and across the flat Curragh Plain to the right is Brownstown House. The blankets that the young attendant is packing with a belt bear the Westenra initial clearly picked out in red.Freney had originally been owned and trained by William Disney before they were sold to Colonel Westenra. This seems to have been a commonplace transaction between the two stud farms as the famous Birdcatcher or Irish Birdcatcher as he was commonly called was owned, trained and then sold by William Disney to Henry R. Westenra, 3rd Lord Rossmore.Freney had a very successful racing career with numerous victories both in Ireland and England and listed below are his 11 recorded Irish wins between 1833-1837 taken from the racing calendar:The Kings Plate of 100 guineas at the Curragh -April, May, June 1834, April, May, June 1835 and June 1836. The Sweepstakes of 200 sovereigns at the Curragh, September 1834.His Excellency The Lord Lieutenant`s Plate of 100 guineas at the Curragh, September 1834, 1835 and 1836.The second picture in this lot was one of four portraits of horses commissioned by James Hans Hamilton and a receipt from `Brocas` for £31-10-0 for painting three of these (including the present picture) in the then owner`s family`s possession was dated 1836.Considering the depth of Irish involvement in horse breeding and training surprisingly few Irish horse painters and their works are extant. It is therefore of particular interest to exhibit two fine examples of this genre made all the more significant by the fact that Roller is the sire of Freney (no.17). It is an extraordinary incident of serendipity that a previous collector managed, after one hundred and fifty years, to put father and son together on the same wall!We are grateful to the Gorry Gallery for their assistance in cataloguing these paintings.
