  • Classical Nakedness in British Sculpture and Historical Painting 1798-1840 Cora Hatshepsut Gilroy-Ware Ph.D Univ
    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

  • The Face of Shakespeare S
    Is this the face of Shakespeare? David Shakespeare May 2021 Today you are going to be looking into the the faces of William Shakespeare. The problem is which if any is genuine. Our story is set in the early 18th century and at its centre is one very interesting portrait. Let me put everything into context. The Chandos Portrait William Shakespeare had rested in posthumous an anonymity during most of the Restoration period, but interest in him was growing again in the late 17th Century with improvement in printing techniques and the growth of the entertainment industry. Later as we shall see the marketing of Shakespeare took on a distinctly political edge. A series of publications of his work began to emerge and along with the printed word came illustrations. There was therefore an obvious need for images of the face of Shakespeare. And this the so called Chandos portrait was pretty well all there was to go on, a 16th century portrait of a rather dishevelled man, which was of rather dubious authenticity !1 This the frontispiece of Nicholas Rowe’s 1709 edition of his works. The first to bear illustrations.The source for the engraving is not hard to recognise. Elsewhere in the publication is this illustration of William Shakespeare from Holy Trinity church Stratford upon Avon, specially made by Gerard Van der Gucht. Well not exactly. !2 He based it on a previous engraving dating from 1656 by Wenceslaus Hollar. Hollar Van der Gucht High forehead and a similar design of tunic….yes. But the tiredness has gone, and an aged face is replaced by one of bright disposition, by staring eyes, a neat beard and curly hair.

  • Edgar Boehm and the Jubilee Coinage
    EDGAR BOEHM AND THE JUBILEE COINAGE G.P. DYER AND MARK STOCKER 'THE greatest disappointment of the century' was Sir Charles Oman's verdict on the Jubilee coinage of 1887.' Contemporary reaction was if anything more hostile, with the prime target being the new effigy of Queen Victoria by Edgar Boehm2 which showed the queen wearing a tiny crown in danger of slipping off the back of her head. How such an unsuitable portrait could ever have been approved remains a puzzle and, even though the queen's artistic judgment was admittedly a hit and miss affair, it still seems curious that neither she nor those most closely involved had any inkling of the likely public response. Indeed until the last minute the deputy master of the Royal Mint evidently entertained fond hopes that the Jubilee head would burst upon an 'enraptured public'.3 It was therefore particularly frustrating that the official mint records contained scarcely any documentation about the preparation of the Jubilee coinage and the accompanying Jubilee medal.4 Fortunately, however, about nine years ago some correspondence of the time was discovered in a locked box in a basement in the old Royal Mint at Tower Hill. The box contained semi-official letters to and, less frequently, from C.W. Fremantle, the deputy master of the mint, and among them were many letters about the Boehm effigy. Several are from Boehm himself, and some from Leonard Wyon, and although the papers are far from complete the chronology of events is now a good deal clearer. The long gestation period of the portrait is confirmed and there are intriguing glimpses of the trials and errors, both technical and personal, which bedevilled its preparation.

The Foundation, GOVernor. 1989 failure to consider the work of the modeller of porcelain figures as an exercise in (D24989) compositional creativity is symptomatic of the more general failure to consider porcelain figures as art and their creators as artists. Being manufactured from moulds, porcelain figures have been placed in the category of reproductive, serially produced objects, and as such are assumed to provide only the most tenuous access to the independent creative processes of the artists responsible for these works.
