Rowan Gillespie (b.1953) Peace II (1998) Bronze on a circular limestone base 78cm (30¾") high Signed, inscribed and dated on the base No. 2/9Provenance: With the Solomon Gallery, Dublin, where purchased by the present owners. Literature: Roger Kohn, Rowan Gillespie Looking for Orion, O'Brien Press, 2007, illus. p. 97Female figures are quite prominent in Gillespie’s work, with his depiction of the body often acting as a celebration of female liberty and the vitality of life. They are not treated in the same way as a classical sculpture in which the female form was often depicted as an object of beauty. Instead Gillespie strives to create thoughtful expressions of the free-spirited and independent nature of modern women.Freedom is a constant thread in Gillespie’s work, something his sculptures seem to always be striving towards, whether they are scaling the side of a building, Aspiration (1995) or perched on a window ledge, Birdy (1997). His figures seem to affect an act of defiance in the face of gravity. While Gillespie’s sculptures are often struggling under the weight, literal and metaphorical, of the base, elemental forces of life there is also a lightness, a joy found within his depictions of the human form.There is a visual link between the outstretched arms in Peace II and the Blackrock Dolmen (1987), although on this occasion the figures are not supporting the heavy weight of the stone. Instead with their arms outstretched, reaching upwards towards an imaginary light, one is reminded of his respective large-scale public commissions in Italy and Dublin, Leta della donna (2009) and The Age of Freedom (1992). On both occasions the figures stand, similar to the present work, naked, offering some form of thanksgiving to the sun. The two figures in Peace II, seem to grow upwards from the same source, their bodies intertwined with one another. It is an expression of gratitude, a gesture of sublimation and hope.While he is known for his emotionally arresting Famine memorial, here there is a delicacy to the treatment of the material which seems to hark back to his earlier investigations into the human form. The finish of the bronze in this work is the antithesis of the cracking, raw patinas of his Famine figures. However, once again he has created a visual as well as physical connection to the raised arms of his Jubilant Man (2007) sculpture in Irelands Park, Toronto, who upon safe arrival in Canada is utterly overcome with emotion.Niamh Corcoran, 2023

James Arthur O'Connor (1792 - 1841) A Clearing in a Forest with Figures on a Path by a Stream Oil on canvas, 72.5 x 93.5cm (28½ x 36¾") Signed and dated 1825One of the largest and most impressive works by the artist to come to market in recent decades – and prior to its rediscovery in a French private collection unknown to scholars and collectors alike – this is a truly magnificent example of Irish landscape art, unusual both in the grandeur of its conception and the bravura handling of paint in its execution. Impressive in scale, the landscape is at the same time a masterpiece of detail, palette and texture. It is perhaps best described as symphonic in the complex richness of its multi-layered surface but somehow the disparate elements coalesce into a harmonious and pleasing whole.The mid-1820s was a period of both consolidation and on-going experimentation in O’Connor’s landscape art. He had arrived back in London by early 1822 and soon met with success with his pictures exhibited at the Royal Academy and the British Institution. A sketchbook of 1822 (National Gallery of Ireland) shows his travels around the south of England in search of subject matter while in 1824 he experimented with etching. O’Connor was an artist in constant need of inspiration from the physical world. He expressed this eloquently in relation to the Irish landscape that he loved so well: ‘I am about [to go] to the wild and beautiful scenery of my native country to refresh my memory, and get some studies to help me in future exertion of my profession – I know I will be benefited by a sight of the grand....scenery that I will meet with in Ireland and hope to show it on canvas’.Through the early ‘20s he continued to paint Wicklow landscapes. In 1825 in a work in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, he revisited the Westport subject matter with which he had engaged in the previous decade and here again memories of Ireland are clear, if less topographically specific with the rocky stream inevitably reminding of his beloved Dargle River. This is one of a series of generally serene compositions showing travellers on a path by a wood including another landscape of 1825 (Gorry Gallery, 2023) and a work of the following year in Nottingham Castle Museum. However, it surpasses all other works of the 1820s in the intricate complexity of its pattern making as various paths penetrate the picture plane. The play of light and shade as the eye is drawn by human activity into the forest – and back again – is only matched by the subtlety variegated palette as autumn imparts golden richness of tone to the verdure. James Arthur O’Connor, was born in 1792 at 15 Aston’s Quay, Dublin, the son of an engraver and print seller. He first exhibited with the Society of Artists in 1809 when he showed The Card Players. This subject piece was to be something of a false start as his interests thereafter were to lie almost exclusively in landscape, and specifically the Irish scenery which he loved. The artist was, however, to spend a large part of his career in England, also making several extended tours of the continent. Together with Francis Danby and George Petrie, he travelled to London in 1813, but returned the following year to care for his orphaned sisters. His first great series of topographical landscapes was of Westport, executed for the Marquis of Sligo in 1818/19 (private collection). To the same years can be dated the impressive series of Ballinrobe house and demesne (NGI). Although he met with some initial success at home (winning a premium of twenty five guineas from the Royal Irish Institute), in, or about, 1821 O’Connor returned to London and, over the following years, he exhibited landscapes at the Royal Academy, the British Institution and the Society of British Artists, of which he was elected a member.In 1825, the year he painted this large work, O’Connor moved to Hampstead where his friend Danby, as well as John Constable, were neighbours and the following year he spent at least six months in Brussels where, it seems, he painted a rather atypical view, The Field of Waterloo (private collection). While his correspondence shows that he was acutely aware of the innovations in landscape painting of both Constable and Turner, it is also tempting to hypothesize continental influences. Indeed, O’Connor made several trips to Europe, meeting with some success in Paris, where he was apparently patronized by King Louis Phillipe. Indeed, given the longstanding French provenance of this notably distinguished work it is likely that it was one of the works that O’Connor brought with him to the continent in the 1820s as a calling card to showcase his art. Certainly it can be viewed as a summation of the different strands within his art up to this point and the proud, even programmatic nature of the signature argues for the significance that O’Connor afforded to the painting. However, from about 1833 failing eyesight and general ill health curtailed O’Connor’s career, although he was greatly helped by a generous commission from Sir Charles Coote of Ballyfin, which was paid for in advance. O’Connor died in poverty in London in 1841. His fellow artists, led by his compatriot the President of the Royal Academy Sir Martin Archer Shee, organized a subscription for his widow.O’Connor’s obituary in the Dublin Monthly Magazine for Apr his character and art. ‘O’Connor was a man of simple, quiet, unsophisticated feelings, alive to the simple charms of nature, and awake to her slightest impulses. He was impressed by her sublimity and grandeur and artificially cultivated scenery was not to his taste’. O’Connor is one of the most capable and interesting of all Irish landscape painters, and comes close to matching the achievements of the eighteenth-century school: as one of his earliest biographers put it, ‘he was a poet with the brush, and exquisitely reproduced the impressions inspired by the more romantic and solemn aspects of nature’. It is pleasing that this, one of his lost masterpieces, has finally been identified and indeed has been repatriated to Ireland after its long sojourn in France.

Of erotic interest - A matched pair of Italian Neoclassical revival polychrome decorated commodesthe commodes apparently 19th century albeit one is of a later date, both apparently re-decorated in the early 20th centuryOf different proportions, each with a rectangular simulated marble top and a moulded edge, above three long drawers each painted with Pompeiian style erotic scenes, depicting a total of nine couples engaging in various sexual acts, each drawer with a central re-entrant tablet flanked by two laurel wreaths, on four columnar square tapering feet, the smaller commode approximately: 137cm wide x 66.5cm deep x 95.5cm high; the larger commode approximately: 140cm wide x 67cm deep x 97cm high, (55in wide x 26in deep x 38in high) (2)Footnotes:There was an abundance of fresco paintings, artefacts and images of an erotic nature in the ancient world, some of which were uncovered during the large scale archaeological excavations which took place at Pompeii and Herculaneum during the 18th century, and also in subsequent periods. Although it is only really perhaps in more recent times, from the last quarter of the previous century until now, that some of these types of scenes have been made available for the public to view. A significant number of pictures depicting a wide assortment of sexual acts were notably discovered among the ruins of Pompeii at various locations such as the suburban baths, the house of the Vettii, casa del ristorante and the lupanar brothel. Evidently, it is this kind of fresco painting which must have served as both the inspiration and model for the decoration on the present commodes.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: TPTP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.

Attributed to Cesare Roccheggiani (Italian, active second half 19th century): A late 19th century topographical micromosaic tondo panel depicting a view of St Peters Squarecirca 1880showing the Basilica in Rome, a number of paired figures to the middle and foreground, set within a canted moulded black marble border, the rear with an applied circular manufacturers label and a further ink written label inscribed St Peters Square, Rome, set within a square gilt gesso and carved wood square frame, with egg and dart outer edge, fluted middle edge with leafy corners and stiff leaf border to the inner edge with plain corners, the panel, 19cm diameter, the frame, 31.5cm x 31.5cm x 7cm overallFootnotes:As a member of a well-known family dynasty of master mosaicists, Cesare Roccheggiani had a reputation as one of the most accomplished artists in the city of Rome in the second half of the 19th century. Probably related to Lorenzo Roccheggiani, a late 18th century mosaicist at the Vatican workshop, whose work included the altarpiece, Crucifixion of St. Peter after Guido Reni, he may have also been related to Nicolo Roccheggiani, who was most likely Lorenzo's son who was also another principle artist at the Vatican although at a slightly later date.Previously thought to have been active in the Vatican Mosaic Workshop in the period 1856 to 1864, little was known of the Ceasre Roccheggiani before he established his own independent atelier, first at 125 via Babuino and then by 1874 at 14-15 Via Condotti near the Piazza di Spagna. However, more recent research and examination of Roccheggiani's mosaics suggest that the artist and craftsman may have worked in the atelier of Michelangelo Barberi given that he was strongly influenced by Barberi's style of work and in some cases directly copied some of his own compositions (the famous 'Rome by Night and Day' being one of these works). After Barberi's death in 1867, his studio continued under the direction of his daughter, Isabella Barberi but was last listed in 1873 which coincidently is actually the year before Roccheggiani first opened his own business.In the mid-19th century there were nearly one hundred mosaicists operating in Rome, many from small workshops with the majority of their output manufactured solely for the burgeoning tourist trade. However, the diverse range of pieces produced in large quantities were generally of a small scale comprising small plaques, miniatures and cameos. By comparison the very best studios such as Cesare Roccheggiani's usually produced more substantial or finer micro mosaics in much smaller quantities. These magnificent and costly works however remained the preserve of the rich and powerful and many of the works, often produced by the Vatican workshop were either gifted by visiting aristocrats, given as diplomatic gifts, commissioned by monarchs or displayed at the major international exhibitions such as the Great Exhibition of 1851.A contemporary photograph of Roccheggiani's shop front illustrates the extensive range of mosaics that his company offered and a guide book to Rome lists him as a supplier of mosaic pictures, tables, cabinets, paper weights and gold ornaments (Murray, 1899, p. 22). Of these works, his table-tops and large-scale pictures were perhaps the most expensive pieces and were acquired by wealthy and prestigious clients and displayed at the international exhibitions which were very much a feature of the late 19th century.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Jacob de Wit (Amsterdam 1695-1754)A sketch of Aurora with putti oil on canvas30.9 x 36cm (12 3/16 x 14 3/16in).Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate Collection, UKIn this small but confident and fluid sketch Aurora is seen holding aloft the torch with which she is lighting the dawn sky. Jacob de Wit used this study, in reverse, for the central figure of the large ceiling decoration that he painted for Herengracht 475 in Amsterdam and which is still in situ today. The house is now the headquarters of the Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser, the association for the preservation of historic houses in The Netherlands. As one of the great decorative artists of early 18th century Holland, de Wit was commissioned to paint many such ceilings in patrician homes and used them as a vehicle to show off his facility for painting 'dal sotto in su', the dizzyingly foreshortened figures appearing to fly high above the viewer. His mythological, allegorical or historical subjects painted in this trompe l'oeil technique were greatly in demand by fashionable society and his works decorated many grand houses in Amsterdam. Interestingly the RKD records a drawing by de Wit in the Rijksprentenkabinet, Amsterdam after Gianantonio Pellegrini (1675-1741) which de Wit has signed but in which he acknowledges his debt by inscribing it 'Pellegrini invt' (RP-T-1898-A-3750). It bears a striking similarity to the pose (in reverse) of Aurora in the present work, and it perhaps gives some insight into de Wit's influences, as the Venetian artist had visited Amsterdam around 1715. Whilst the conceit of large-scale works is impressive, it is often in small sketches that one best appreciates the technical abilities of an artist, as this study demonstrates.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Vertue, 'Notebooks,' in The Volume of the Walpole Society, vol. 26, 1937-1938, p. 135 EngravedBy Peeter van Lisebetten, as no. 177 after Palma Giovane for the Theatrum PictoriumThe Hapsburg Archduke Leopold Wilhelm was stationed in Brussels as Governor of the Southern Netherlands from 1646-1656 and in 1651 appointed David Teniers as his court painter. The Archduke was in the process of forming one of the most remarkable collections of Old Master paintings to be amassed in the 17th century (much of which now hangs in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna) and had recently acquired the outstanding collection of the Duke of Hamilton who lost his life in the aftermath of the Royalist defeat in the English Civil War. This newly-formed collection of over 1300 works is the subject of Teniers's celebrated large-scale paintings on copper showing the interior of the Archduke's picture gallery, but it was a collection of which Teniers also became the de facto curator. In an extraordinarily ambitious project he set out to create an illustrated catalogue of a selection of 243 of these works, employing a team of 12 engravers to work from small-scale oil copies that he himself painted. The resulting volume, published in 1660, became known as the Theatrum Pictorium and was the first ever illustrated catalogue to be produced of a painting collection. In due course Teniers's oil modelli were sold off to various collectors, but the largest single acquisition was made by John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, (1650-1722) who bought a group of 120. These were first recorded as being at Blenheim in 1728 and through much of the 19th Century they hung together in the Billiard Room until dispersed at the Blenheim sale of 1883; the present study was among them. Examples have found their way into major national collections and today can be seen in The Courtauld Gallery (who own 14), the Museo del Prado, Madrid, the Royal Collection, the National Gallery of Ireland and Glasgow Museums. The Theatrum Pictorium – and Teniers's modelli - remain a significant record of a landmark collection, and a point of reference for paintings which in some cases have been altered or lost in the intervening years. No painting by Palma of the present composition is recorded and it may be the case the that original painting is by a different hand.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
