Edward Clifford (British 1844-1907)A group portrait of The Broadlands Conference Pencil, watercolour and bodycolour with scratching out Signed and dated 1887 (lower right) 169 x 263cm (66½ x 103½ in.)Provenance:The Church Army, by 1887The Keswick Convention, by 1964Private Collection. Literature:Mrs R Cholmeley, Edward Clifford, London: The Church Army Book Room, 1907, p 42 and pp 86-94, reproduced opposite p 87.Edward Clifford, Father Damien and Others, London: The Church Army Book Room, 1904(), p 34.This impressive group portrait, painted on a monumental scale, celebrates the Broadlands Conferences of the Higher Life which took place between 1874 and 1888 at Broadlands in Hampshire the country estate of the William and Georgina Cowper-Temple. In the picture he is seen in a tweed suit seated at the table with his wife in the upper right corner. William had an illustrious political career as a member of Parliament for over forty-five years, Private Secretary to his uncle Lord Melbourne and groom-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. With his second wife he shared an interest in Evangelical Christianity and embarked on a search for religious enlightenment. Georgina had a particular interest in mysticism and mixed with leading spiritualist figures from Britain, American and Europe, attending several séances. The annual conferences they founded brought together their religious interests and the beautiful surroundings at Broadlands aimed to create a foretaste of heaven with many of the services taking place under the Beech trees or in the orangery.Their interests were precipitated by the Holiness movement in America and the 1870s saw the emergence of the Higher Life movement in England which was named after William Boardman's book The Higher Christian Life (published in 1858) the main aim of the movement was to help in advancing the Christian's progressive sanctification, and enable one to live a more holy, less sinful, life. Though principally Evangelical, the movement was seen as non-denominational. Together with William Boardman, two other key figures helping to spread the holiness message in England were Robert Pearsall Smith and his wife, Hannah (the central standing figure in the composition), both of whom were acquainted with the Mount-Temples and were involved in the conferences at Broadlands.Edward Clifford was well placed to paint the picture. He had a strong faith, was honorary Secretary of the Evangelical Church Army (the first owners of the picture) and attended the conferences. He was a gifted artist and alongside Robert Bateman, Walter Crane and others, was part of a group of followers of, the Pre-Raphaelite painter, Edward Coley Burne-Jones and exhibited at the Dudley Gallery in the late 1860s and 1870s. Clifford's works often took passages from the Bible as its subject and according to Angela Thirkell, Burne-Jones's granddaughter `He had a peculiar gift for copying his paintings so that my grandfather himself could hardly tell the difference.' He also produced fine pencil portraits, a talent he used to much effect in the present work. Clifford has helpfully named many of the sitters and they reflect the social and geographical diversity of those that attended the various Broadlands conferences. The most notable includes several members of the Wilberforce and Gurney families including Canon Basil Wilberforce, the Church of England Bishop, and Emilia Gurney, the feminist reformer, suffragist, and abolitionist. Amanda Berry Smith is also included, and she spoke at the conference in 1879. She was born into slavery in Maryland and joined the African Methodist Episcopal Church. The Rev. H.B. Macartney vividly recorded his attendance at one of the conferences in his book England, Home and Beauty, 1878, p.73-90. A reprinted copy is included with this lot.

(1844-1907) DAWN AT THE TAJ MAHAL titled, initialled & dated l.l. 1888 initialled l.r., titled on original label verso watercolour heightened with bodycolour 12.0 x 17.0cm / 4 3/4 x 6 3/4in Provenance: Given by the artist to Rev Wilson Carlile Reginald Clifford Carlile Elizabeth Carlile and thence by descent Clifford was born in Bristol and studied at the Royal Academy. He painted and exhibited landscapes, portraits and historical subjects in oil and watercolour and had many aristocratic patrons. He was influenced by Burne-Jones and the group of artists who exhibited at the Dudley gallery and the present watercolour is typical of his dreamy aesthetic works which led Philip Burne-Jones to write of him: "I think perhaps he is to be seen at his very best in his landscapes, into which he has always infused an atmosphere of romance and beauty as attractive as it was peculiarly individual. I know no other man's work quite like it." Clifford visited Kashmir in 1888 on his way to Hawaii where he was to present the famous leper worker Father Damien with a picture from Edward Burne-Jones. He published his experiences in Father Damien; A Journey from Cashmere to his Home in Hawaii in 1889. This work, one of a group of six watercolours of Cashmere and India, was given by the artist to Wilson Carlile, founder of the Church Army. Clifford was honorary Secretary of the Church Army, an evangelistic Anglican society.
