  • British Taste in the Nineteenth Century ••
    BRITISH TASTE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY •• WILLIAM MULREADY The Sailing Match (S l) BRITISH TASTE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AUCKLAND CITY ART GALLERY • MAY 1962 Foreword This exhibition has been arranged for the 1962 Auckland Festival of Arts. We are particularlv grateful to all the owners of pictures who have been so generous with their loans. p. A. TOMORY Director Introduction This exhibition sets out to indicate the general taste of the nineteenth century in Britain. As only New Zealand collections have been used there are certain inevitable gaps, but the main aim, to choose paintings which would reflect both the public and private patronage of the time, has been reasonably accomplished. The period covered is from 1820 to 1880 and although each decade may not be represented it is possible to recognise the effect on the one hand of increasing middle class patronage and on the other the various attempts like the Pre-Raphaelite move­ ment to halt the decline to sentimental triviality. The period is virtually a history of the Royal Academy, which until 1824, when the National Gallery was opened, provided one of the few public exhibitions of paintings. Its influence, therefore, even late in the century, on the public taste was considerable, and artistic success could onlv be assured by the Academy. It was, however, the rise of the middle class which dictated, more and more as the century progressed, the type of art produced by the artists. Middle class connoisseur- ship was directed almost entirely towards contemporary painting from which it de­ manded no more than anecdote, moral, sentimental or humorous, and landscapes or seascapes which proclaimed ' forever England.' Ruskin, somewhat apologetically (On the Present State of Modern Art 1867), detected two major characteristics — Compassionateness — which he observed had the tendency of '.

  • Pilkinton and Son Were in Dundas Street, Spelled As Pilkinson in the Street Director
    1856y Pilkinton and Son were in Dundas Street, spelled as Pilkinson in the street director. T Davies was at 14 South Saint Andrew Street. J A Bell 6 was at 9 York Place. Frederick Thomas Pilkinton came 12th in the Second Class Honours for Mathematics under Professor Philip Kelland, and shared First Honours for Logic and Metaphysics under W Hamilton, Bart. (Caledonian Mercury, Sat. 10th May 1856) Sam Bough, possibly Pilkington’s closest friend to be, moved to Edinburgh from Glasgow in this year, and stayed at 5 Malta Terrace in Stockbridge. He travelled to London that year, and “visited an old acquaintance, John Philip”, whom he had first met in the company of James Cassie, both very close friends of William Brodie. Bough exchanged some of his works, which Philip admired, for a portrait by Philip of Bough. Bough thought it “as large as life….”. “It’s very like me, and an awful bla’guard I look” (Hitchons) In fact, the portrait establishes Bough’s commanding height and broad frame, and his handsome authority. He looks rather distinguished in fact. Bough was a fascinatingly controversial figure, and continued to fascinate long after his death. As late as 1897, many years after hs death, The Evening Telegraph, in a piece taken from "Good Words" entitled "Sam Bough and His Friends", attempted to present the ambiguity of Bough's personality. "Sam Bough could be rude in both manner and speech, and his acquaintances were habituated to sarcasm and brusquerie. He had, in consequence, many friends but a multitude of enemies, who passed into currency many stories of his wild conduct.

Erskine Nicol (3 July 1825–8 March 1904) was a Scottish painter who lived in Dublin between 1845 and 1850. When he went back to Scotland, his paintings attracted the attention of the British public for their fine quality, lively colours and the scenes taken from everyday life, so that by the 1850s, Nicol was already famous and was celebrated by art critics as the painter of Ireland.

  • Edward Armitage RA, 19Th Fresco Paintings
    19th Century Fresco Paintings at St Marylebone Parish Church 1943 photographs showing war damage to windows and fabric and the frescoes painted by Edward Armitage, RA at first floor gallery level Looking to the North (Liturgical West) Looking to the South (Liturgical East) The fresco paintings (now painted over) on the first floor gallery level between the windows in St Marylebone Parish Church were carried out by the illustrious Victorian Royal Academician Sir Edward Armitage (20th May 1817 – 24th May 1896). Sir Edward Armitage, RA, Self-portrait (1882) Family background Armitage was born in London to a family of wealthy Yorkshire industrialists, the eldest of seven sons of James Armitage (1793–1872) and Anne Elizabeth Armitage née Rhodes (1788–1833), of Farnley Hall, just south of Leeds, Yorkshire. His great-grandfather James (1730–1803) bought Farnley Hall from Sir Thomas Danby in 1799 and in 1844 four Armitage brothers, including his father James, founded the Farnley Ironworks, utilising the coal, iron and fireclay on their estate. His brother Thomas Rhodes Armitage (1824– 1890) founded the Royal National Institute of the Blind. Armitage was the uncle of Robert Armitage (MP), the great-uncle of Robert Selby Armitage, and first cousin twice removed of Edward Leathley Armitage. Art Training Armitage's art training was undertaken in Paris, where he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in October 1837. He studied under the history painter, Paul Delaroche, who at that time was at the height of his fame. Armitage was one of four students selected to assist Delaroche with the fresco Hemicycle in the amphitheatre of the Palais des Beaux-Arts, when he reputedly modelled for the head of Masaccio.
