Mao Wen Biao (Chinese b.1952) Italian landscape Oil on canvas 179 x 362cm (70 1/2 x 142 1/2in.) Mao Wen Biao was born in Beijing and in 1984 he moved to London to study at the Royal College of Art. Already recognized as one of China's foremost military painters of the '70s and '80s, Mao’s arrival in England exposed him to ‘Western’ art history which inspired more creative social works. More specifically, there are two areas in which Mao has defined his career over the past 30 years. Firstly, by his extraordinary ability in capturing the dynamism of the racehorse, Mao has firmly established himself as a world leader in Sporting Art and secondly, Mao has gained an international reputation for his monumental paintings and murals. In London, he has notable murals at The Ritz (2005-06), The RAC Club (1997) and Orangery Arcade in Holland Park (1994-95). His most monumental however is in the State Museum of China. The Battle of Lugou Bridge, completed by Mao and five other contemporary artists, was commissioned by the Chinese Government in 1990 and tells the story of a key battle in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937-45). The vast composition and size of the present lot, coupled with the beautifully refined light and colour are all prominent features which distinguish Mao’s large-scale work.

Sotheby's London, 27 March 1979, lot 136 (pencil note to verso of mount). Private Collection, Worcestershire. Literature: Tancred Borenius and Rudolf Wittkower, Catalogue of the Collection of Drawings by the Old Masters formed by Sir Robert Mond, London 1937, number 168 (as School of Mola). A similar semi-circular drawing by Piola depicting a man with a hunting dog, was sold by Cambi Casa d'Aste, Genoa, Disegni Antichi, 29 October 2013, lot 10. The Genoese artist Domenico Piola was part of an artistic dynasty that dominated ceiling decoration and artistic production generally in Genoa for the whole of the second half of the 17th century. The studio, known as Casa Piola, included Piola's younger brother, his brother-in-law, his three sons, and his two sons-in-law. They guided large decorative projects with a series of drawings, from careful studies of details through compositional sketches to full-scale cartoons. The Piolas also supplied designs for sculptors and for craftsmen in wood, ceramics, and metalwork. Domenico Piola derived his mature style from Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione's undulating figures, streamlined twisting draperies, and diagonal compositions. (1)
