JOHN HENRY CAMPBELL (1857-1828)A View of Shanganagh Castle, with Killiney beyond Oil on canvas, 50 x 60cmThe son of an Englishman who settled in Dublin, John Henry attended the Dublin Society’s Schools before establishing himself as a landscape painter in Dublin. Walter Strickland notes that he sent a drawing, ‘Moonlight’ to an exhibition held at Allen’s on Dame Street. The following year he exhibited two works at Parliament House, followed by four landscapes in 1802, two in 1804 and further oils and watercolours between 1809 and 1819. He contributed to the opening exhibition at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1826 and again in 1828.Strickland observed “amongst his water-colours are a “View of Dublin, Howth, etc., from Huband Bridge,” exhibited in 1809 and now in the National Museum, Kildare Street; a “View near Rostrevor” in the National Gallery of Ireland; and a “Bridge over the Dodder, Upper Rathmines,” in the possession of Mr. J. C. Nairn, 13 Westland Row. In the British Museum are two drawings by him: “The Little Sugar-Loaf,” dated 1806, and “Rathgar Castle,” dated 1807. A “View of Dunleary Pier and part of the Town,” drawn by him in 1789, was etched by J. Wright, who published it at 34 Mary’s Abbey. In Ferrar’s “View of Ancient and Modern Dublin,” 1796, is an engraving of “Sarah Bridge” by Clayton, after a drawing by Campbell. A large aquatint by A. Courcell, of “Powerscourt Waterfall,” with a picnic party, was done from a drawing by him. Two landscapes in oil: “View on Lough Erne, with Devenish Island and Round Tower,” and “Fassaroe Bridge”- the latter painted in 1821-belong to Mr. J. C. Nairn. A “View of Killarney, with Torc Mountain,” and a “Banditti with Prisoners,” the landscape after Both, the figures by G. Nairn (q.v.), belong to the Rev. F. Sadleir, 9 Gardiner’s Place”. Campbell maintained a well regarded position among his peers and still ranks highly for his watercolour works in particular. His daughter, Cecilia Margaret was also a noted painter in oils and watercolours and married the artist George Nairn ARHA.The present work, ‘A View of Shanganagh Castle, with Killiney Beyond’ is a typically reliable topographical view by Campbell of an area south of Dublin on the Wicklow coast, and looking northwards. Peter Pearson in his book ‘Between the Mountains and the Sea’ writes - ‘ Shanganagh Castle, now in ruins, occupies one of the oldest inhabited sites in the area. In 1654 it was described as having two orchards, a garden, a grove of ash trees set for ornament and a mill’. Pearson illustrates a watercolour by William Westall from 1810 ‘showing the intact ruin of Shanganagh Castle with Killiney, as yet developed, in the background’. The present view by Campbell appears to be observed from a similar position, even if the perspective of Westall’s is not as accurate. Campbell imbues his idyllic scene with figures and livestock, including a goat, in the shaded foreground, flanked by languid and willowy trees. Below in the sunlight is the castle surrounded by verdant trees and a field occupied by sheep. The view extends for many miles northwards and the sun-speckled Killiney Bay is dotted with pleasure yachts including two making their way through Dalkey Sound. The artist has created a very attractive image of semi rural life, pleasure boating and all in an area well known and easily recognizable by many.

signed on the reverse stencil and mixed media on metal shelf 91 by 43cm The proceeds of the sale of the following lot will benefit Greatmore Studios Bambi is a contemporary British street artist whose work was first noticed in 2011 in the streets of London. Not much is known about the personal life of the artist who has gained popularity under the pseudonym derived from her childhood family name ?Bambino?. While her identity remains a well-kept secret, she has disclosed that she was previously a prominent singer. Described by many as the female Banksy, her work has been sought after by various collectors including the likes of Rihanna, Robbie Williams, Brad Pitt and Adele. Working in the streets of Northern London, she presents critiques of contemporary culture, often using images of popular contemporary icons to illustrate the commodification of the art world and other social, political and environmental issues. Her work Tata (Yellow) 2013, depicts Nelson Mandela in a signature bright shirt and was created in the same year as his passing. The title, Tata, references Mandela?s nickname which he was often fondly referred to and includes the phrase ?It always seems impossible until it?s done?. This piece is a celebration of Mandela?s hope, strength and resilience that inspire millions around the world to this day. Its popularity is evident when one considers the numerous graphic reproductions of this work that are still being sold. ?I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. It always seems impossible until it?s done.? -Nelson Mandela - Caitlin Snethlage
