GEORGE OWEN WYNNE APPERLEY (Ventnor, Isle of Wight, England, 1884 - Tangier, Morocco, 1960). "Bacchante," 1942. Oil on canvas. Presents damage to the frame. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 63,5 x 53,5 cm; 90 x 78 cm (frame). The painting of George Owen, always had as protagonist the woman, in many occasions it was Andalusian women, although he also dealt extensively with the genre of the nude. In this case the author presents us with an idyllic image, and at the same time sensual, starring a half-naked young woman immersed in nature. The woman, with a haughty gesture and a half-smile, covers her body with a leopard skin. Next to her are some vine leaves, indicating that this is the representation of a woman of the court of the god Bacchus, since both attributes allude to the iconography of the god of wine. The use of a Bacchante as the protagonist reveals a carefree young woman, devoted to pleasure and in turn follows the portrait tradition that began in the eighteenth century, in which the ladies of the court were portrayed with attributes of saints or goddesses of the classical pantheon, although in this case the artist goes further, in search of what under his own eyes symbolizes the woman in his time. George Owen Wynne Apperley belonged to an aristocratic Welsh family, which allowed him a comfortable economic situation. From an early age he was attracted to painting and, opposing his family, he enrolled at the Herkomer Academy. His training was broadened by his trip to Italy, where he was captivated by the Mediterranean light and produced works on genre and landscape themes. After marrying secretly in 1907, he moved with his wife to Lugano (Switzerland), then returned to London. In 1914 he traveled to Spain, and settled permanently in Madrid two years later, to go a year later to Granada, where he settled, where he met local painters such as Francisco Soria Aedo and Lopez Mezquita. When the Second Republic was proclaimed, he moved to Tangier (Morocco), where he became interested in new orientalist themes, and where he died. His work could be contemplated in the different countries where he lived, being especially important an exhibition in 1918 inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII and Victoria Eugenia de Battemberg, moment from which his prestige increased. His work is preserved in important private collections and institutions such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Malaga, the Palace Art Museum in Brussels, the Municipal Museum of Fine Arts of Tandil in Buenos Aires (Argentina), the Sydney Museum (Australia), etc. It presents damages in the frame.

Est: €3,000 - €3,500
GEORGE OWEN WYNNE APPERLEY (Ventnor, Isle of Wight, England, 17 June 1884 - Tangier, Morocco, September 1960) "Erotic nude of a woman". Oil on canvas. Enclosed certificate of authenticity issued by Mr Enrique Riki Apperley, son of the artist. Measurements: 36 x 55 cm; 56 x 75 cm (frame). Interior scene where the artist portrays the body of a young woman, who appears naked in front of the spectator. The woman turns her face, avoiding direct contact with the spectator, concentrating on an intimate and personal moment which is revealed to the public in a sensual and erotic way, making him participate in it as a voyeur. The realistic scene, both in terms of execution and subject matter, reveals an unrestrained brushstroke, with which the artist has composed the scene with broad brushstrokes and touches that configure the sinuous forms of the woman, the execution being freer in the case of the sofa or divan on which the woman is reclining. The light, which is fully directed, is centred on a central focus on the young woman's chest, giving prominence to her breast. George Owen Wynne Apperley belonged to an aristocratic Welsh family, which gave him a comfortable financial situation. He was attracted to painting from an early age and, in opposition to his family, enrolled at the Herkomer Academy.
