‡SIR FRANK BRANGWYN RA RWS RBA (1867-1956)Breaking up the 'Hannibal'original etching, pencil signedPl. 19 1/2 x 24 1/2 in From the only edition of 70 signed proofsLiterature: Gaunt 36This is one of Brangwyn's earliest large scale etchings. Etched on zinc after a preparatory sketch. HMS Hannibal a wooden screw-ship of the line was built in 1854, powered by 450 horse-power engines. The scene shows the massive hulk of the old wooden Hannibal lying in Castle's breaking-yard at Charlton, Woolwich The artist and writer Walter Shaw Sparrow wrote in 1919 of Brangwyn's depiction of 'Hannibal' comparing it to Turner's Fighting Temeraire, noting however that the 'Hannibal was brought too close to my eyes, occupying so much of a large plate that I cannot see her poetry because I see much of her bulk'. By contrast the Temeraire was 'surrounded by a great seascape and visiting sunset'...As a big study full of apt concentration, Brangwyn's 'Hannibal' is very good; but yet...it seems to me that he ought to have achieved more because his emotion was all of a piece with Turner's'

* JOHN CUNNINGHAM RGI D Litt (SCOTTISH 1926 - 1998), SEASCAPE, ARDNAMURCHAN oil on linen, signed, further signed and titled verso 40cm x 80cm Framed and under glass. Label verso: The Macaulay Gallery, Stenton, East Lothian. Provenance: Private Scottish collection. Note: The artist's long obituary in The Glasgow Herald in 1998 began "Dr John Cunningham's death at the age of 72 robs Glasgow of one of its most endearing, well-known and colourful art-world stalwarts". Born in Lanarkshire in 1926, Cunningham attended Glasgow School of Art (GSA) in 1953. From 1967 to 1985, he was a Senior Lecturer at GSA, thus having close contact with several generations of young painters for two decades. John lived in a magnificent and spacious studio flat in the centre of Glasgow which was designed by Sir John Burnett expressly for the use of an artist, and which had previously been owned by other artists including John McGhie and David Gauld. The vision of his paintings was an expression of the man. John Cunningham was a large, charismatic character who loved life abundantly and whose paintings reflected his joy and passion for colour, displaying bold, confident brush-strokes along with subtle sensitivity. His landscapes and seascapes were all painted outdoors with only a few minor touches to be added in the studio. This gives his work a wonderful freshness and vitality with the immediacy of the moment captured. By going to the places, soaking up the vision and perspectives of the people who lived in those places, and painting the vision with a professional attention to its subtleties and variations, he produced a unique body of work. His landscapes are typified by a sense of connection to the earth itself, an honesty about the places depicted – nothing is sentimentalized or diminished – and a lavish generosity of engagement with colour, tone, shade and light. In 1980 he was elected to the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts (RGI) and in 1990 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Strathclyde. He received numerous prestigious awards during his long career. He exhibited throughout the UK also in New York and Hong Kong, and his work is in many public, corporate and private collections.
