Circle of Sir Anthony van Dyck (Flemish 1599-1641)Charles I on horsebackOil on canvas139 x 107.5cm (54½ x 42¼ in.)Provenance:Richard Cosway, 20 Stratford Place, Oxford Street, LondonSale, Mr George Stanley 'A Catalogue of the Pictures of Richard Cosway, Esq. R.A.', 17-19 May 1821, lot 105, 150 gns.The collection of Mr EmmersonSale, Phillips, 15-16 June 1832, lot 131 (£64)The collection of The Blackett Family of Matfen HallLiterature: J. Smith, A Catalogue Raisonne of the works of the most eminent Dutch Flemish and French Painters, vol. III, 1831, page 104, no. 366. Matfen inventory, no.8 The Walpole Society, Vol. LXVI, 2004, p.202 The Cosway Inventory of 1820This depiction of King Charles I is one of the most celebrated and well-known images of him. He was a fine horseman and the symbolism of his pose perhaps suggests he was a ruler who can tame a powerful animal and control the passion and disorder in his kingdom (K. Sharpe, Politics and Ideas in Early Stuart England, London, 1989, pp.44-7). It relates to Sir Anthony van Dyck's Charles I on Horseback with M. de St Antoine in The Royal Collection which is dated 1633. It was painted on a monumental scale (142 x 102 in.) and hung at the end of the Gallery at St James's Palace, a position for which it was probably designed. It has been suggested that our picture may have once been of a similar scale and reduced because the outer parts of the composition were unresolved. The scale of the figure of Charles corresponds directly to that in the autograph version and the idea of it being a fragment is further supported by it not being a standard size. A more typical 50 x 40 in. canvas would suggest that it is a later replica. The modelling of the horse and figure is well resolved whereas the plain background may be either an unfinished ground layer waiting to be painted or possibly a layer of blue (spelt) used in the seventeenth century that tended to deteriorate. The reason why the full-size picture was abandoned are not known, but it would have been a very substantial commission with a limited number of houses or institutions able to accommodate a picture on such a scale. The onset of the Civil War in 1642 may well have also been a contributing factor. None-the-less it is a fascinating insight into 17th Century Royal portraiture. The picture was formerly in the collection of Richard Cosway, the leading portrait painter of the Regency period, who in 1785, was appointed Principal Painter to the Princes of Wales. Together will his wife Maria they were very close to the Prince, and he was a frequent visitor at Maria's glittering salons and concerts. Condition Report: The canvas has been lined and is on a later stretcher which is providing good support. Under UV light there are scattered spots and lines of restoration, these are mostly in background areas and to the edges, and some finer work to the figure, including the face. This is all well executed however and not apparent to the naked eye. Condition Report Disclaimer
LORD FREDERIC LEIGHTON (British, 1830-1896)A bronze figure of 'The Sluggard'The nude male stretching, on square plinth base, inscribed THE SLUGGARD to the front, and signed Fred Leighton, with J W Singer & Sons Frome, foundry mark, 27cm wide, 16.5cm deep, 53cm high (10 1/2in wide, 6in deep, 20 1/2in high) Footnotes:Although perhaps better known as a fashionable Royal Academy painter of the late 19th century, Leighton took up sculpture in the 1870s and today is regarded as the father of New Sculpture in England. Leighton's Sluggard, also known as 'Athlete Awakening from Sleeping', was first executed in 1882. Giuseppe Valona, the Italian model who posed for 'An Athlete Struggling with a Python', was again used for the Sluggard. Edgcumbe Staley described the moment when: 'Giuseppe Valona, the model, a man of fine proportions, weary one day of posing in the studio, threw himself back, stretched out his arms and gave a great yawn. Leighton saw the whole performance and fixed it roughly in clay straight off.'A more refined life-size plaster was later exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1886 and was awarded a medal of honour when it was shown at the Paris Exposition Universelle three years later. A bronze cast of this plaster, acquired by Henry Tate in 1896, is now in the Tate Gallery.The Sluggard has obvious parallels with Rodin's 'Age of Bronze', exhibited in 1884 and it was perhaps this work which encouraged Leighton to revive his earlier model. The work later became one of the most popular Victorian statuettes when reduced-scale bronze editions were made by Arthur Leslie Collie and cast by the Singer Foundry.As this bronze is marked with just the J W Singer foundry mark it means we know it can only have been cast prior to 1927. Exhibited at The Art Gallery of New South Wales.Literature: S. Beattie, p.189 and 260, n.59; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, cat. no.39S. Jones, C.

AFTER FREDERIC LEIGHTON, 1ST BARON LEIGHTON P.R.A., R.W.S., KNOWN AS SIR FREDERIC LEIGHTON (BRITISH, 1830-1896): A LARGE BRONZE FIGURE OF 'AN ATHLETE WRESTLING A PYTHON'Of recent manufactureThe figure standing on a rectangular naturalistic base, signed, dated and numbered to one side F. LEIGHTON 1877 and dated 2018, numbered 1/6 and stamped with the foundry mark for brown patina, 53cm wide, 66cm deep, 101cm high (20 1/2in wide, 25 1/2in deep, 39 1/2in high) Footnotes:Provenance: Previously on display at Leighton House, 12 Holland Park Road, London. Today 'Athlete Wrestling with a Python' is noted as Leighton's sculptural masterpiece and was influenced by antique Greek sculpture, particularly 'The Laocoön' which formed part of the Vatican sculpture collection and which influenced the work of Michangelo.Representing a dramatic life and death scene of a classical male nude contending a python which is coiled around his left thigh and whose head is held at bay by his rigidly outstretched arm, the statues powerful and complex design commands a sense of suppressed energy and opposing forces momentarily balanced at a point of supreme tension. Although the striking realism of the figures anatomy was undoubtedly influenced by the sculptors of antiquity and the Renaissance it also owned a debt to contemporary French sculpture which gave it a naturalism far removed from the more pedestrian excesses of the neo-classical works produced by sculptors of a generation before.The model for the work was professional sitter Angelo Colorosi, who was a leading figure in the Italian group of professional male models in the later 19th century. From contemporary interviews which Leighton made with the Studio magazine in the early 1890s, the sculptor originally modelled it as a small-scale clay figure. However, the decision to turn it into a large-scale bronze was made on the encouragement of either Jules Dalou (French, 1838-1901) who was in exile in London during that time or Alphonse Legros (French, 1837-1911). Assisted by Leighton's protégé, Thomas Brock (British, 1847-1922), the full-size model first modelled in plaster and then cast in bronze by Cox & Son was then exhibited at the Royal Academy. Its influence was far reaching to the new generation of emerging New Sculpture artists including the young Brock, Hamo Thorneycroft, Alfred Gilbert, Edward Onslow Ford and George Frampton.The sculpture's popularity was sealed when it was purchased on behalf of the Tate by the Chantrey Bequest in 1877 and it won the gold medal when it appeared at the prestigious Exposition Universelle in Paris the following year. A monumental marble replica of the sculpture was subsequently commissioned by the wealthy Danish brewer Carl Jacobsen for the museum bearing his name in 1882 and much of the carving for this work was done by the New Sculpture sculptor Frederick Pomeroy (British, 1856-1924) at the start of his career whilst still working in Brocks studios.A Lifetime casting of Leighton's bronze figure of an Athlete Wrestling a Python (52.5cm high) was sold at Bonhams, New Bond Street, in the Important Design Sale, 5 April 2017, lot 32This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP Lot will be moved to an offsite storage location (Cadogan Tate, Auction House Services, 241 Acton Lane, London NW10 7NP, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
