He soon specialised in early British drawings and watercolours and took over the running of Sotheby’s Topographical sales. Topographical views whether they be of Britain or worldwide have remained an abiding passion. Guy left Sotheby’s in early 2004 and has worked as a dealer since then, first based at home, and now in his gallery on Mason’s Yard, St James’s, shared with the Old Master and European Drawings dealer Stephen Ongpin.

On the hill beyond is a shadowy gibbet, a reminder of the likely fate of a captured highwayman. This important and unusually large, recently rediscovered drawing by Rowlandson dates to circa 1776-78 when he was in his early twenties.

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in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.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.

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.

  • Gennadeion Notes, I
    GENNADEION NOTES, I (PLATES 119-124) T nHE Gennadius Library, though it has been an integral part of the American School of Classical Studies since 1926, has too often remained terra incognita, or parum cognita, to many of the School's members and visitors. The reasons are not far to seek. As a collector and bibliophile,John Gennadiustook for his subject Greece, Greece in all its aspects and of all periods, classical, medieval and modern alike. Much of the collection, therefore, lies outside the normal range of classical studies. More- over, the classical section, rich though it is in certain restricted areas, notably in Renaissance editions of Greek authors and in early archaeological publications, is far from adequate for most types of research. By deliberate policy, to avoid unnecessary duplication with the main library of the School, new accessions are made almost en- tirely in the post-classical fields, and the classical portion of Gennadius' collection remains substantially as he left it. Nevertheless, it 'contains many rare items of great value and interest to the student of antiquity, and it seems appropriate, as occasion offers, to call some of these to the attention of classicists through the pages of Hesperia. The followingInote is presented, optimistically, as the first of a proposed series. I. ENGLISH ARCHAEOLOGICAL DRAWINGS OF THE XVIIITmI CENTURY' The Antiquities of Athens, measured and delineated by James Stuart, F.R.S. and F.S.A., and Nicholas Revett, painters and architects: Volume the first was printed in London in 1762.
