Sir John Lavery (Irish 1856-1941) Hyde Park Corner, 29th vember 1934 Oil on board Signed and titled lower left 60.5 x 50cm (23¾ x 19½ in.) Provenance: Private Collection, France Exhibited: Liverpool, Walker Art Gallery, 1935 Glasgow, The Glasgow Art Club, 22 February 1935 - 30 March 1935, . 3 To celebrate the marriage of Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark and Prince George, Duke of Kent. Sir John Lavery was born in 1856 in rth Belfast but was brought up in Scotland. Lavery studied at Haldane Academy in Glasgow and moved to Paris in the 1880s to continue his studies at the Academie Julian. On his return to Glasgow in 1885 he became close friends with a group of artists dubbed the Glasgow Boys, which included James Guthrie (1859-1930), Arthur Melville (1855-1904) and Edward Arthur Walton (1860-1922). Lavery established himself as a prominent society portraitist after his move to London in 1896 where he also took a great interest in painting contemporary everyday scenes and events. In 1880 he was commissioned to paint the state visit of Queen Victoria to the Glasgow International Exhibition. This Royal patronage continued and in 1913 Hugh Spottiswoode commissioned Lavery to paint the family portrait of King George V. The work was exhibited at the Royal Academy and later presented to Queen Mary by the artist. In 1921 Lavery was knighted and elected to the Royal Academy. The present lot captures the procession at Hyde Park corner to celebrate the wedding of Prince George, Duke of Kent and Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark. They were married in a Church of England ceremony at Westminster Abbey on vember 29, 1934. The ceremony was followed by a Greek Orthodox service at the Private Chapel in Buckingham Palace. The work was exhibited at the Glasgow Art Club in 1935 alongside other oil paintings by Glasgow Art Club members. The works were hung in the Club rooms in Bath Street. The exhibition was described as 'interesting, illustrating various approaches to art expression.' The present lot was described by one critic at the time as a picture with 'remarkable verve and dexterity. The great crowd is suggested by the merest articulation, and with a table effect of perspective, the Royal carriage and procession in the foreground.' The critic was recorded writing in the Scotsman on 26th February 1935, his name was never recorded. The wedding was the first royal wedding ceremony to be broadcast by wireless. The service was broadcast internationally and loudspeakers allowed spectators outside of Westminster Abbey to hear the proceedings. Princess Marina wore a white and silver silk brocade designed by Edward Molyneaux and the couple honeymooned at Himley Hall in Himley, Staffordshire, England, the country estate of William Ward, 3rd Earl of Dudley. Please note this work is oil on canvas laid down to board
