He did not attend school until he was ten and often played truant. In his late teens, Wain attended the West London School of Art and eventually became a teacher at the school. Louis Wain decided to strike out on his own and became a freelance artist. His speciality was drawing animals and rural subjects and he worked for journals such as Illustrated London News and Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. In 1883 Wain married Emily Richardson, his sisters’ governess. Richardson was ten years older than Louis and this caused quite a scandal. She suffered from breast cancer and during this illness she was comforted by their pet cat Peter, who Louis would sketch. Emily died three years later and it is this sad episode that was to define the rest of the illustrator’s career. He continued sketching cats and his first drawing of anthropomorphised cats was published in an Illustrated London News Christmas issue in 1886. His cats would parody humans while he satirised fashion and popular trends of the day. In his early years, the cats generally remained on all fours and were much more naturalistic in their poses; it was only later in his career that he produced cats walking upright with wide eyes and broad smiles, also wearing clothing. Despite his phenomenal output in both postcards, sketches and book illustrations, his mental state was frail and in 1924 was committed to a pauper ward of Springfield Mental Hospital suffering from schizophrenia. He remained in several different institutions, although he carried on sketching cats for pleasure right up until his death in 1939. Provenance.

  • The Falls of Tivoli with the Temple of Vesta POA REF:- 360368 Artist: WILLIAM WYLD R.I
    The Falls of Tivoli with the Temple of Vesta POA REF:- 360368 Artist: WILLIAM WYLD R.I. Height: 91.7 cm (36") Width: 120.3 cm (47 1/4") Framed Height: 103 cm (40 1/2") Framed Width: 140.5 cm (55 1/4") 1 https://johnbennettfinepaintings.com/the-falls-of-tivoli-with-the-temple-of-vesta 26/09/2021 Short Description The Falls of Tivoli with the Temple of Vesta M H Grant, in his Dictionary of English Landscape Painters, writes of William Wyld that: “A notable painter who passed his life in Paris, where he influenced greatly the French artists around him.” Wyld was born to a family of comfortable means and influence having been well-to-do merchants for several generations. A young uncle, who had instilled an interest in painting in the child William, left his artist’s materials to him upon his premature death. The six year old displayed a precocious and prodigious talent for drawing but it was clear that his family had a diplomatic service career in mind for him as he was sent to Calais in 1826 to become secretary to the British Consulate, working under Lord Granville. The posting proved to be fortuitous for Wyld as he met there the French watercolourist and teacher of Richard Parkes Bonington, François Louis Thomas Francia. Francia, who had come to London as an émigré and had exhibited at the Royal Academy while he was resident there. Francia was a great admirer of the important English painter Thomas Girtin and agreed to take on Wyld as a pupil.

  • Sketchbook 46 Introduction
    Introduction to SSB 46 (15 February–27 July 1857) by Philip Cottrell NB. All page references are to SSB 46 and catalogue numbers refer to items from the Art Treasures Exhibition’s Gallery of Ancient Masters unless otherwise specified. SSB 46 contains sketches of around seventy Art Treasures items, and encompasses the longest chronological span of any of the sketchbooks associated with the exhibition, a six- month period from mid-February to the end of July 1857. This has a lot to do with Scharf’s increasing workload at Old Trafford, and his inability to continuously update the content of the sketchbook for days, sometimes weeks, on end. Between February and April Scharf slowed and eventually concluded his countrywide survey of British collections, gradually abandoning plans for tours of Scotland, Ireland and the East of England. As paintings finally began to arrive at the Art Treasures Palace during March and April, he began hurriedly organising the hang of the Gallery of Ancient Masters in time for the opening of the exhibition on Tuesday 5 May.1 He was required to attend various official events associated with the exhibition thereafter, and worked intensively to complete his contribution to its definitive catalogue, which was not ready until the end of May (although a far more abbreviated, provisional edition had been issued in time for the exhibition’s opening). During this month and the next, Scharf was constantly shuttling between London and Manchester in order to fulfil a series of weekly Saturday lectures at Queens College, London. He also had to attend board meetings associated with his new appointment as Secretary to the recently formed National Portrait Gallery which he had secured in early March.

The emphasis, as the title indicates, is on how knowledge and acceptance of British art of this period became a cardinal force in the development of romantic painting on both sides of the Channel, particularly in the 1820s.

    L’art de la description et la description de l’art dans les Voyages de Théophile Gautier by Evgenia Timoshenkova A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of French Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Evgenia Timoshenkova (2013) L’art de la description et la description de l’art dans les Voyages de Théophile Gautier Evgenia Timoshenkova Doctor of Philosophy Department of French Studies University of Toronto 2013 Résumé Le XIXe siècle inaugure une transformation radicale de l’économie du récit de voyage qui grâce à l’intrusion dans son espace de l’homme de lettres devient un genre littéraire à part entière. À la lumière de cette évolution générique notre thèse explore la question de la littérarité des textes viatiques de Théophile Gautier en montrant que cet aspect esthétique s’y manifeste à travers l’image en tant qu’«évènement textuel» que l’on interroge selon deux perspectives complémentaires : l’art de la description et la description de l’art. Notre étude se répartit en quatre chapitres. Afin de mieux expliciter la logique de notre approche binaire de la description, dans le premier chapitre nous nous penchons sur la figure de Gautier écrivain-voyageur, sa façon d’aborder le voyage en tant que genre et les postures énonciatives qu’il adopte face à ses «devoirs de voyageur pittoresque», de littérateur aux ambitions de peintre, mais aussi de critique d’art professionnel. Les chapitres deux et trois étudient l’art de la description en s’attachant à la question du style de Gautier marqué par l’idée de modernité : la libération esthétique de la couleur, dans la peinture comme dans la littérature, et l’avènement dans la littérature de la «nouvelle imagerie».

In the past year we have been relieved to discover that, despite global financial difficulties, there is still a strong market for original drawings and watercolours of high quality. Traditionally the fields of British Watercolours on the one hand, and Old Master, 19th century and modern drawings on the other, have each had their own collectors, auctions and exhibitions. The aim of this catalogue, and indeed the aim of our shared gallery as a whole, is to blur the distinction between these collecting areas, and hopefully show that a good drawing is always a good drawing, whoever the artist and whatever the date. The present catalogue includes a wide range of British and European drawings and watercolours, placed more or less in chronological order, ranging in date from the 16th century until the present day. As a glance at the enclosed price list will show, the prices of the drawings and watercolours are equally broad in scope - from under £1,000 to around £10,000 – with a large number of interesting works at the lower end of this range.

Nationalities and universalism in the early historiography of photography (1843-1857)i François Brunet (Université Paris Diderot, Laboratoire de recherches sur les cultures anglophones) Few historians or critics in 2010 would accept the once popular view of photography as a “universal language”, one that, as Helmut Gernsheim put it, is “understood in all parts of the world” and links “the family of man”ii. If we tend now to distrust this view, however, it is not primarily because we think of photography as a collection of national idioms—even allowing for the great recent output of national surveys.
