    • George Chambers, Jr., The Maribios Volcanic Range, Nicaragua
      Jan. 24, 2015

      George Chambers, Jr., The Maribios Volcanic Range, Nicaragua

      Est: $15,000 - $20,000

      CHAMBERS, Jr., George (British, b. 1829, fl. 1848 - 1862). The Maribios Volcanic Range, Nicaragua. Oil on canvas. Signed l.l.: G. Chambers. Canvas size: 31 1/2 x 59 1/2 inches; framed size: 40 1/2 x 68 1/2 inches. George Chambers, Jr., was the son of the well-known English marine painter of the same name, George Chambers. By the age of eighteen, George Chambers Junior was finding willing patrons and was exhibiting at the British Institution. Two years later, in 1850, the Royal Academy exhibited Hatch boat crossing the mouth of the River Thames, and thereafter the artist was to display at least one or two of his paintings every year until 1861. In 1862, Chambers mysteriously vanished from the London art scene and it is likely that it was at this time that he traveled to Central and South America. The jungles of this continent have fascinated the outside world from the time of their discovery to the present day, and during the nineteenth century interest in this continent reached its zenith. Following Columbus's 1492 discovery of the New World, the Spanish government restricted travel to this territory and with only the early accounts of the conquistadors and missionaries as sources of information, the allure of Central and South America grew. It was a continent filled with mystery with recurring legends of El Dorado, the Enchanted City of Patagonia and the island of the Amazons. Chambers painting displays two of the volcanoes in the Maribios volcanic range running parallel to Nicaragua?s Pacific coastline. Another undated work by him entitled The Lake of Managua, Nicaragua, Central America, showing the Volcano Momotombo, is evidence of the artist?s visit to this region, although it is not known when the journey was made. Like many artists who visited South and Central America, George Chambers Jr. was fascinated by the triangular, or conical, formation of the volcano. Not only did it correspond to classical precepts of the ideal composition but its platonic geometry was seen to connote divine creation. Indeed, nineteenth-century religious precepts regarded the shape and mighty power of the volcano as direct evidence of God?s hand in creating a landscape untouched since creation. In this scene, we are presented with not only two volcanoes in the background, but the fertile lands that surrounds them and which, in Chamber?s time, were beginning to be dotted with cotton and sugar plantations. While indigenous workers labor in cutting down the vegetation to the left of the scene, an expeditionary party, perhaps that of Chambers, travels across the lowland plain. A magnificent Quetzal bird is shown flying over the village in the center of the picture. The Quetzal was revered by the mayans for centuries, and can be found in much of their art. The Mayans thought of the Quetzal as a magical, mystical bird of great healing power.
