  • Classical Nakedness in British Sculpture and Historical Painting 1798-1840 Cora Hatshepsut Gilroy-Ware Ph.D Univ
    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

  • Two Boys with a Bladder by Joseph Wright of Derby
    RCEWA – Two Boys with a Bladder by Joseph Wright of Derby Statement of the Expert Adviser to the Secretary of State that the painting meets Waverley criteria two and three. Further Information The ‘Applicant’s statement’ and the ‘Note of Case History’ are available on the Arts Council Website: www.artscouncil.org.uk/reviewing-committee-case-hearings Please note that images and appendices referenced are not reproduced. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Brief Description of item(s) • What is it? A painting by Joseph Wright of Derby representing two boys in fancy dress and illuminated by candlelight, one of the boys is blowing a bladder as the other watches. • What is it made of? Oil paint on canvas • What are its measurements? 927 x 730 mm • Who is the artist/maker and what are their dates? Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797) • What date is the item? Probably 1768-70 • What condition is it in? Based upon a viewing of the work by the advisors and conservators, the face and costumes of the two boys are in good condition. However, dark paint throughout the background exhibits widespread retouched drying cracking and there are additional areas of clumsy reconstruction indicating underlying paint losses. 2. Context • Provenance In private ownership by the 1890s; thence by descent The early ownership of the picture, prior to the 1890s, is speculative and requires further investigation. The applicant has suggested one possible line of provenance, as detailed below. It has been mooted that this may be the painting referred to under a list of sold candlelight pictures in Wright’s account book as ‘Boys with a Bladder and its Companion to Ld.

  • Joseph Wright
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Joseph Wright Derby’s most celebrated artist is known the world over. Derby Museums is home to the world’s largest collection of works by the 18th century artist. Joseph Wright of Derby is acknowledged officially as an “English landscape and portrait painter”. But his fame lies in being acclaimed as "the first professional painter to express the spirit of the Industrial Revolution", by experts. Candlelight, the contrast of light and dark, known as the chiaroscuro effect, and the birth of science out of the previously held beliefs of alchemy all feature in his works. The inspiration for Wright’s work owes much to meetings of the Lunar Society, a group of scientists and industrialists living in the Midlands, which sought to reconcile science and religion during the Age of Enlightenment. Wright was born in Iron Gate – where a commemorative obelisk now stands –in 1734, the son of Derby’s town clerk John Wright. He headed to London in 1751 to study to become a painter under Thomas Hudson but returned in 1753 to Derby. Wright went back to London again for a further period of training before returning to set up his own business in 1757. He married, had six children – one of whom died in infancy, son John, died aged 17 but the others survived to live full lives. In 1773, he took a trip to Italy for almost two years and this became the inspiration for some of his work featuring Mount Vesuvius. Stopping off to work for a while in Bath as a portrait painter, he finally returned to Derby in 1777, where he remained until his death at 28 Queen Street in 1797.

  • William Blake 1 William Blake
    William Blake 1 William Blake William Blake William Blake in a portrait by Thomas Phillips (1807) Born 28 November 1757 London, England Died 12 August 1827 (aged 69) London, England Occupation Poet, painter, printmaker Genres Visionary, poetry Literary Romanticism movement Notable work(s) Songs of Innocence and of Experience, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, The Four Zoas, Jerusalem, Milton a Poem, And did those feet in ancient time Spouse(s) Catherine Blake (1782–1827) Signature William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. His prophetic poetry has been said to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language".[1] His visual artistry led one contemporary art critic to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced".[2] In 2002, Blake was placed at number 38 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.[3] Although he lived in London his entire life except for three years spent in Felpham[4] he produced a diverse and symbolically rich corpus, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God",[5] or "Human existence itself".[6] Considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, Blake is held in high regard by later critics for his expressiveness and creativity, and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work. His paintings William Blake 2 and poetry have been characterised as part of the Romantic movement and "Pre-Romantic",[7] for its large appearance in the 18th century.

ABSTRACT The mechanical paintings of Matthew Boulton and Francis Eginton have been the subject of few scholarly publications since their invention in the 1770s. Such interest as there has been has focussed on the unknown process, and the lack of scientific material analysis has resulted in several confusing theories of production. This thesis’s use of the Archives of Soho, containing Boulton’s business papers, has cast light on the production and consumption of mechanical paintings, while collaboration with the British Museum, and their new scientific evidence, have both supported and challenged the archival evidence. This thesis seeks to prove various propositions about authenticity, the role of class and taste in the selection of artists and subjects for mechanical painting reproduction, and the role played by the reproductive process’s ingenuity in marketing the finished product.

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.
