Modernism, Liberation and a New Way of Seeing Diploma Lecture Series 2013 Revolution to Romanticism: European Art and Culture 1750-1850 The Art of Nature: British Landscape Watercolours Cathy Leahy 7/8 August 2013 Lecture summary: The period from the last decades of the eighteenth century through to the mid nineteenth-century has become known as the “golden age” of the British watercolour. During this period the medium was revolutionised from its traditional associations with topographical drawings and lowly status into an independent and highly original art form. The modest views of the eighteenth-century topographical draughtsman with their pen outlines and pale washes of colour gave way to the powerful landscapes of the Romantic generation which were characterised by dense colours, fluid handling and bold articulation of form. Artists such as John Robert Cozens, J.M.W. Turner, Thomas Girtin, John Sell Cotman, David Cox and many others practised in the newly fashionable watercolour medium and their work was at the forefront of radical developments in landscape painting. New ways of representing the natural world were forged that were informed by an intense scrutiny of nature and were expressive of the artist’s personal response. This period of intense creativity and experimentation in the medium gave rise to a powerful new expressive freedom that is the focus of this lecture. Slide list: 1.

Little is known about Page’s life, but the freshness of his approach impressed me, as did his evident pleasure in drawing ruins. His relationship with his patron and probable pupil, Mary Hamilton Campbell, Lady Ruthven, an amateur archaeologist who appears to have taken him to Greece, was previously unknown, as was Page’s involvement with her brother William Campbell, with whom he travelled to Turkey. There is more work to be done on Page, but in the meantime I hope this catalogue will add a little to our understanding of the Enlightenment fascination with classical Greece. My own longstanding interest in the Ottoman period remains undimmed, and it has been a pleasure to revisit it.

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

Provenance: Colonel Gould Weston, his sale, Christie’s, 15th July 1958, lot 125 as part of an album; Ralph Holland (1917-2012) Thornhill was the most important painter of interiors in the early eighteenth century and was the first British artist to be knighted, on his appointment to sergeant-painter to the King in 1720. His most celebrated works are the interior of the Great Hall at Greenwich and the dome of St. Paul’s, London. He also worked in a number of great English houses, including Blenheim, Hampton Court, Chatsworth, Easton Neston and Wimpole. This drawing may be linked to the work that Thornhill did for Isaac Loader (b.1653) at Deptford. Loader was an anchor maker by profession and was appointed Sheriff of Deptford in 1701. Ralph Thoresby (1658-1725) visited Loader’s house in 1714 and records that `the gardens are surprisingly fine and large: there are Mr Thornhill’s paintings in the Bagnio, and other garden-houses’ (see R.
