Pier Leone Ghezzi (Rome 1674-1755)Saint Nicholas of Tolentino; and Saint Francis of Assisi a pair, oil on canvas, the former unlined108.3 x 80.7cm (42 5/8 x 31 3/4in). (2)Footnotes:ProvenanceThe Compagnoni Marefoschi family, Macerata (according to a stamp on the reverse of the frame of Saint Francis and on the canvas of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino)It has been suggested that the most likely candidate for patron of the present Saint Nicholas of Tolentino and Saint Francis of Assisi, is Prospero Marefoschi (Montesanto 1653-1732 Rome). Elected cardinal in 1725, Prospero was a central figure in the cultural life of Rome during the Pontificate of Clement XI and thus will have doubtless had many opportunities to meet Pier Leone Ghezzi; indeed the artist depicted Cardinal Marefoschi in one of the lunettes which formed part of his decorative scheme at Villa Falconieri, Frascati.We are grateful to Anna lo Bianco for confirming the attribution to Pier Leone Ghezzi (private communication with the vendor).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Messum, Wilfrid de Glehn, RA John Singer Sargent's Painting Companion, Exhibition 1998, exh. cat., London, 1998, no. 12 (illustrated in colour).In the background, this painting depicts a view of the River Thames and Chelsea Embankment taken from the window of de Glehn's studio in his London house at 73 Cheyne Walk. The house was sadly destroyed during World War Two by a parachute bomb in April 1941 resulting in de Glehn and his wife moving permanently to their Manor House at Stratford Tony. In two other works by de Glehn both depicting the drawing-room of his Manor House, one entitled Head of the Household, and the other My Drawing Room, Stratford Tony, this oval still life of blue flowers can be seen hanging on the wall to the left of the window.The importance of De Glehn's work was recognised during his lifetime as he held numerous one man-shows at Durand Ruel in New York and Paris, The Carfax Gallery, The Fine Art Society, Goupil Gallery, Leicester Galleries, Barbizon House, and Knoedler's in London, and Vose Galleries in Boston. It has been suggested that this painting could have been exhibited at the New English Art Club in 1906, as Hydrangeas, no 123.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
