  • Two Boys with a Bladder by Joseph Wright of Derby
    RCEWA – Two Boys with a Bladder by Joseph Wright of Derby Statement of the Expert Adviser to the Secretary of State that the painting meets Waverley criteria two and three. Further Information The ‘Applicant’s statement’ and the ‘Note of Case History’ are available on the Arts Council Website: www.artscouncil.org.uk/reviewing-committee-case-hearings Please note that images and appendices referenced are not reproduced. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Brief Description of item(s) • What is it? A painting by Joseph Wright of Derby representing two boys in fancy dress and illuminated by candlelight, one of the boys is blowing a bladder as the other watches. • What is it made of? Oil paint on canvas • What are its measurements? 927 x 730 mm • Who is the artist/maker and what are their dates? Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797) • What date is the item? Probably 1768-70 • What condition is it in? Based upon a viewing of the work by the advisors and conservators, the face and costumes of the two boys are in good condition. However, dark paint throughout the background exhibits widespread retouched drying cracking and there are additional areas of clumsy reconstruction indicating underlying paint losses. 2. Context • Provenance In private ownership by the 1890s; thence by descent The early ownership of the picture, prior to the 1890s, is speculative and requires further investigation. The applicant has suggested one possible line of provenance, as detailed below. It has been mooted that this may be the painting referred to under a list of sold candlelight pictures in Wright’s account book as ‘Boys with a Bladder and its Companion to Ld.

  • Joseph Wright
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Joseph Wright Derby’s most celebrated artist is known the world over. Derby Museums is home to the world’s largest collection of works by the 18th century artist. Joseph Wright of Derby is acknowledged officially as an “English landscape and portrait painter”. But his fame lies in being acclaimed as "the first professional painter to express the spirit of the Industrial Revolution", by experts. Candlelight, the contrast of light and dark, known as the chiaroscuro effect, and the birth of science out of the previously held beliefs of alchemy all feature in his works. The inspiration for Wright’s work owes much to meetings of the Lunar Society, a group of scientists and industrialists living in the Midlands, which sought to reconcile science and religion during the Age of Enlightenment. Wright was born in Iron Gate – where a commemorative obelisk now stands –in 1734, the son of Derby’s town clerk John Wright. He headed to London in 1751 to study to become a painter under Thomas Hudson but returned in 1753 to Derby. Wright went back to London again for a further period of training before returning to set up his own business in 1757. He married, had six children – one of whom died in infancy, son John, died aged 17 but the others survived to live full lives. In 1773, he took a trip to Italy for almost two years and this became the inspiration for some of his work featuring Mount Vesuvius. Stopping off to work for a while in Bath as a portrait painter, he finally returned to Derby in 1777, where he remained until his death at 28 Queen Street in 1797.

The two paintings differ greatly in appearance and relate to very different interests in landscape painting, the recent work being concerned with the act of painting itself and the painting as an object, in ways that would have been unconsidered by artists in the late eighteenth century. They also reflect different objectives in the depiction of human endeavour, labour. What the paintings have in common is their response to an area of landscape in mid- Derbyshire. ‘Landscape’, introduced into English around 1600, deriving from the Dutch landschap signifying a picture of a view, came, in a period of around thirty years, to acquire the meaning of the view itself.

    100. A Philosopher Giving a Lecture on the Orrery Joseph Wright of Derby. C. 1763-1765 C.E. Oil on canvas Orrery: mechanical model of the solar system Article at Khan Academy The Orrery, caused a greater stir (than Wright’s first painting), as it replaced the Classical subject at the centre of the scene with one of a scientific nature o Wright's depiction of the awe produced by scientific "miracles" marked a break with previous traditions in which the artistic depiction of such wonder was reserved for religious events The painting was one of a number of British works challenging the set categories of the rigid, French-dictated, hierarchy of genres in the late 18th century, as other types of painting aspired to be treated as seriously as the costumed history painting of a Classical or mythological subject The Orrery was painted without a commission, probably in the expectation that it would be bought by Washington Shirley, 5th Earl Ferrers, an amateur astronomer who had an orrery of his own, and with whom Wright's friend Peter Perez Burdett was staying while in Derbyshire. o Figures thought to be portraits of Burdett and Ferrers feature in the painting, Burdett taking notes and Ferrers seated with a youth next to the orrery.[9] Ferrers purchased the painting for £210, but the 6th Earl auctioned it off, and it is now held by Derby Museum and Art Gallery,[10] where it is on permanent display, and close to a working replica of a full-sized mechanical Grand Orrery Close observation of the adult faces in the picture reveals that each one demonstrates one or other of the main phases of the moon – new moon, half moon, gibbous moon and full moon .

  • Willersley Castle Research
    WILLERSLEY CASTLE, CROMFORD A research paper produced by Barry Joyce and Doreen Buxton with the assistance of David Hool for the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Partnership August 2011 1 SUMMARY Willersley Castle was built as a mansion house for Sir Richard Arkwright. He commissioned it in 1786, the year he was knighted, to provide a suitably prestigious ‘seat’, to which he intended to move from Rock House, the substantial but less prestigious house in Cromford he had lived in since 1776. The knight died in 1792, before it was completed. Sir Richard gave the commission to William Thomas, a London architect. Thomas was much influenced by the work of Robert Adam. It would seem from undated drawings that Arkwright also invited designs from a local architect, Thomas Gardner of Uttoxeter. Gardner’s design is in the Adam neo- classical style but the chosen design of William Thomas is in what has come to be called ‘the Robert Adam castle style’. Thomas’s Willersley Castle design owes much to Adam’s designs for Culzean Castle, which is roughly contemporary. The site is a spectacular one, on a rocky eminence, looking out southwards down the Derwent Valley across picturesque rocky outcrops, avoiding sight of the two nearby Arkwright cotton mills. Following a serious fire in 1791 and after Sir Richard’s death in 1792, the Castle was completed in a modified form under the supervision of Thomas Gardner. Pleasure grounds were laid out for Sir Richard and his successor, Richard Arkwright II, by John Webb, who took the meadows sloping down to the River Derwent and turned them into an Arcadian park.

  • The Great Age of English Mezzotints (January 19–March 14, 2010), Curated by T
    “Th e Artful Disposition of Shades”: Th e Great Age of English Mezzotints 1 hood museum of ar . darmouh college INTRODUCTION amson Occom’s (1723–1792) fundraising trip to England, Ireland, and Scotland from 1766 to 1768 relied heavily on the power of the press to promote his mission. Newspa- pers reported on his sermons and travels, a published brochure described the goals of the campaign, and a printed portrait highlighted his celebrity (fig. 1). The image por- trayed the sitter’s erudition and exoticism in the most popular medium available at Sthat time: mezzotint. It was also one of the earliest prints to be collected at Dartmouth College. Immediately after Occom arrived in London along with Nathaniel Whitaker (1732–1795) in early 1766 to raise money “to support the Rev. Mr. Wheelock’s school at Lebanon in New England” (London Evening Post, 1 May 1766, p. 1), they published a sixty-four-page booklet entitled A Brief Narrative of the Indian Charity School. It outlined their goal of “building and endowing an Indian academy for clothing, boarding, maintaining, and educating such Indians as are designed for missionaries and schoolmasters, and for maintaining those who are, or here- after shall be, employed on this glorious errand.” It also included numerous testimonials from leading American ministers and statesmen. A second edition with new letters of recommenda- tion came out the following year. Copies were widely circulated in the British Isles during the travelers’ two-year venture in order to publicize their background and objectives. Moreover, the centerpiece of the promotional drive was the “Reverend Mr.
