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.

Robert Adam's Revolution In Architecture Abstract ABSTRACT ROBERT ADAM’S REVOLUTION IN ARCHITECTURE Robert Adam (1728-92) was a revolutionary artist and, unusually, he possessed the insight and bravado to self-identify as one publicly. In the first fascicle of his three-volume Works in Architecture of Robert and James Adam (published in installments between 1773 and 1822), he proclaimed that he had started a “revolution” in the art of architecture. Adam’s “revolution” was expansive: it comprised the introduction of avant-garde, light, and elegant architectural decoration; mastery in the design of picturesque and scenographic interiors; and a revision of Renaissance traditions, including the relegation of architectural orders, the rejection of most Palladian forms, and the embrace of the concept of taste as a foundation of architecture.

  • John Boydell and the Depiction of Welsh Scenery in Reproductive Prints, 1750-1850 by Simon Cobb (Orcid.Org/0000-0002-2874-8657)
    John Boydell and the depiction of Welsh scenery in reproductive prints, 1750-1850 By Simon Cobb (orcid.org/0000-0002-2874-8657). The majority of the prints in the Welsh Landscape Collection were created during a period of lively and copious production that followed the spectacular revival of British printmaking in the mid-eighteenth century and extended to about 1830.1 This period saw British art rise to European prominence,2 with the patronage of printsellers and publishers playing a significant role in this development by financially assisting newly independent artists, freed from dependence on aristocratic sponsorship, while disseminating their work to the public.3 But one publisher dominated the print trade. John Boydell (plate I) was a vastly successful entrepreneur of international renown,4 who capitalised on his intermediary role between the artist and consumer to both advance the cause of painters and engravers and encourage the public’s taste for fine and reproductive art.5 His selection of paintings for publication and recruitment of gifted young engravers to reproduce them led to some of the most successful copperplates and exerted a considerable influence on the course of British art.6 The Welsh Landscape Collection consists of some 5,000 prints that the National Library of Wales has digitised and made freely available as an online resource. These images of Welsh scenery not only include views of towns, landmarks, such as castles, ecclesiastical buildings and manor houses, and the beauties of the natural environment, with pictures of rivers, lakes and mountains being abundant, but also industrial scenes, quarrying and factory interiors for example, and important events like King George IV’s visit to Holyhead and the construction of the Menai Suspension Bridge.

  • THOMAS SANDBY a VIEW of ST MARTIN's COURT Pen and Ink And
    THOMAS SANDBY 1721–1798 A VIEW OF ST MARTIN’S COURT Pen and ink and watercolour 7 x 7 ⅜ inches; 178 x 187 mm Drawn c.1765 Collections: Private collection, UK, to 1993; Leger Galleries; Private collection, acquired from the above in 1994; And by descent to 2019 Exhibited: London, Leger Galleries, British Landscape Painting, 1994, no. 14. This remarkable watercolour by Thomas Sandby gives an unprecedented view of the heart of London’s artistic quarter in the middle of the eighteenth century. Made from the back window of a house on the west side of St Martin’s Lane, Sandby’s view shows the complex mass of buildings running behind St Martin’s Lane, many of them home to the workshops of prominent artists and craftsman. Identifiable on the right of the image is the building occupied by the bookseller John Noble, Sandby has included his shop sign, a bust of Dryden, placed over his door and a trade sign advertising his circulating library. In the projecting bay- window to the right of the composition, a man can be seen at work giving an air of quiet industry to the composition. Thomas Sandby was a Nottingham born architect and draughtsman, the elder brother of the landscape painter Paul Sandby, he was an acute observer of London producing a number of spectacular topographical views of city streets. In 1764 Thomas Sandby became steward to William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and also acted as deputy ranger of Windsor Great Park. Despite being based at Windsor, Sandby remained active in the artistic world of London; he served on the committee of the newly formed Society of Artists in 1759, and in 1768 was a founder member of the Royal Academy, of which he was appointed the first professor of architecture.
