  • Military Themes in British Painting 1815 - 1914
    / Military Themes in British Painting 1815 - 1914. Joan Winifred Martin Hichberger. Submission fcr PhD. University College, London. 1985 1 Abstract. Joan Winifred Martin Hichberger. Military Themes in British Painting 1815-1914. This thesis examines the treatment of the Bzitish Army and military themes, in painting, during the period 1815- 1914. All the works discussed were exhibited at the Royal Academy, which, although it underwent modifications in status, remained the nearest equivalent to a State Institution for Art in Britain. All the paintings shown there were painted with the knowledge that they were to be seen by the controllers of the Academy and the dominant classes of society. It will be inferred then, that the paintings shown there may be taken to have been acceptable to ruling class ideologies, and are therefore instructive of "official" attitudes to military art. Representations of the contemporary Army, in this period, fell into two main catagories - battle paintings and genre depictions of soldiers. Chapters one to three survey battle paintings; studying the relation of this genre to the Academy; the relative popularity of the genre and the career patterns of its practioners. The critical reception of battle pictures at the Academy and certain important public competitions will be noted and considered in the context of contemporary ideologies about art and about the Army and its men. Chapter four discusses the vital concept of "heroism" and its treatment in English military art. In particular, the reasons for the popularity of certain military figures above their peers, in academic art, will be explored. It will be argued that the process of "hero-making" in art was not determined by professional success alone, but was often the result of the intervention of patrons, publicists and pressure groups.

  • British Canvas, Stretcher and Panel Suppliers' Marks. Part 8, Charles
    British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers’ marks. Part 8, Charles Roberson & Co This resource surveys suppliers’ marks on the reverse of picture supports. This part is devoted to Charles Roberson, a business founded in 1819 and which grew to become one of the leading companies as Charles Roberson & Co from 1855 and Charles Roberson & Co Ltd from 1908 until 1987. The business was a significant supplier of canvas from about the 1820s until the 1980s. For further information, see British artists' suppliers, 1650-1950 - R on this website. The Roberson archive is housed at the Hamilton Kerr Institute, University of Cambridge.

  • Le Pont Du Gard Signed and Dated ‘F.R
    Frederick Richard Lee (Barnstable 1798 - Wellington, South Africa 1879) Le Pont du Gard signed and dated ‘F.R. Lee RA 1863’ (lower right) and further signed and inscribed ‘No. 1 Le Pont du Garde- Roman Aquaduct near Nîsmes [sic] F.R. Lee R.A.’ (on an old label on the reverse) oil on canvas 77.5 x 107.2 cm (30½ x 42¼ in) The scale of this ancient structure is forced upon us by Frederick Richard Lee’s use of such a dramatic and fiercely architectural perspective, giving us a vanishing point far into the centre right of his composition. Between the soft trees of nature this behemoth of stone cuts its way, even mighty water seems to trickle beneath it, as it once did upon it; showing nature brought to bear under the hand of the conquering Romans. Lee's expansive painting depicts one of France’s greatest surviving feats of engineering which dates from the early Roman Empire. The Pont du Gard is a Roman aqueduct crossing the River Gardon near Nîmes in the south of France. Constructed during the Roman Empire, it was long thought that it was built by Augustus’ son-in-law and aide, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa in about 19 BC. However, more recent excavations now suggest that the construction took place in the middle of the first century AD. Designed to carry water across the small Gardon river valley, it was part of an aqueduct, nearly 50 km long that brought water from the Fontaines d’Eure springs near Uzès to the Castellum in the Roman city of Nemausus (Nîmes).

  • British Canvas, Stretcher and Panel Suppliers' Marks. Part 1, 1785-1831
    British canvas, stretcher and panel suppliers’ marks. Part 1, 1785-1831 This resource surveys suppliers’ marks and labels on the reverse of picture supports. The date range for this first part, 1785-1831, coincides with the period during which canvas for artists was subject to taxation. Under legislation, there was an obligation on suppliers to mark material subject to duty with their name, place of abode, the name and quality of goods and their price or value. In practice the price was rarely applied and the requirement was soon dropped, the only examples here being Thomas Jenkins, N. Smith, William Ward. An associated ‘frame mark’, within a framing device, is also found applied to canvas (for illustrations and a fuller explanation, see Appendix 1). Arranged alphabetically by supplier: Thomas Brown, John Culbert, Robert Davy, Thomas and Mary Jenkins, William Legg (and W. & J. Legg), Henry Matley, John Middleton, James Poole, Charles Roberson, Roberson & Miller, Rowney & Forster, Smith & Warner, William Ward and John Wikey. For information on individual suppliers, see British artists' suppliers, 1650-1950 on this website. Measurements of marks, given where known, are approximate and may vary according to the stretching or later conservation treatment of a canvas or the trimming of a label (for further information, see notes 4, 5). Links are given to institutional websites where dimensions of works can be found. Dates for businesses, partnerships and addresses are usually accurate to within a year. Square brackets are used to indicate indistinct or missing lettering in transcripts, with readings sometimes based on other examples. Compiled by Jacob Simon, March 2017, updated February 2020, based on the pioneering work of Cathy Proudlove and the suppliers’ database created by Jacob Simon.

  • Mountain Sheep Signed and Dated ‘T.S
    Thomas Sidney Cooper (Canterbury 1803 - Vernon Holme 1902) Mountain Sheep signed and dated ‘T.S. Cooper/1845’ (lower right) oil on panel 34.5 x 45.5 cm (13½ x 17¾ in) on a C. Roberson panel. Thomas Sidney Cooper was a pupil of the celebrated Belgian animalier Eugène Verboeckhoven and his work had a profound influence on Cooper’s choice of subject matter, an association that has so far been little explored in British art. Mountain Sheep, whilst characteristically Cooper in painterly execution, shows compositional links to Verboeckhoven’s Guarding the Lamb completed in 1837. Cooper, like Verboeckhoven, has chosen three centrally placed sheep with two submissively seated and the other protectively standing, while paying detailed attention to the facial features. Furthermore, Cooper has also experimented with the contrast of light and shade, a common feature in Verboeckhoven’s work. Born in Canterbury, Kent, in 1803, he was encouraged to become an artist by Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830) and the animal painter Abraham Cooper (1787-1868). In 1823 he entered the Royal Academy Schools, and subsequently taught art in Brussels (1827-31) where he met Eugène Verboeckhoven. Following the political disturbance that led to Belgian independence in 1830, Cooper returned to London in 1831 to embark on a very long and successful career as an animalier. Such was the standard of his work that Cooper was commissioned by Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort to paint pictures of the Royal herd of pedigree Jersey cows, the results of which they were, reportedly, delighted with. Cooper’s paintings were almost exclusively of sheep and cattle, earning him the nickname ‘Cow’ Cooper to distinguish him from Abraham ‘Horse’ Cooper.

    Russell-Cotes Paintings – Main Hall Paintings & Sculptures List – Main Hall Selika - A Black Queen, c.1878 Luigi Pagani (1837-1904) Marble and Bronze SC22 BORGM Nelusko – An Arab Chief, c.1878 Luigi Pagini (1836-1904) Marble and Bronze SC20 BORGM Selika and Nelusko were both originally believed to be by Pietro Calvi, with Nelusko dating to c.1860 and Selika to c.1881; however, these marble and bronze sculptures were created by Luigi Pagani c.1878. Nelusko, (from the opera L'Africaine by Meerbeyer) is a bust of an African man whilst Selika, (from the opera L'Africaine by Meerbeyer) is a bust of an African woman with a headdress. Her First Love, 1865 George Sheridan Knowles (1863-1931) Oil on canvas George Sheridan Knowles was a popular genre artist who dealt with sentimental scenes often set in the middle ages, the 18th century or the far reaches of the British Empire. These include works such as The Wounded Knight, Home Again and The Love Letter. Her First Love displays the characteristic sentiment. Sir Merton Russell Cotes bought the work from the Walker Russell-Cotes Paintings – Main Hall Art gallery in Liverpool at the autumn exhibition which often features work that had been shown at the Royal Academy summer exhibition. He wrote: ‘I invariably visited the Walker Art Gallery there [Liverpool] and made purchases of one, two, three or even more pictures at the autumn exhibition…’ BORGM 01224 Pharaoh’s Daughter, 1865 John Adams-Acton (1830-1910) Marble This sculpture is engraved with the date 1865 and is executed in Rome.
