GAVIN HAMILTON (BRITISH 1723-1798)DIANA AND HER NYMPHSOil on canvas157 x 226cm (61¾ x 88¾ in.)Gavin Hamilton was born in Lanark, Scotland in 1723 and, as a history painter, archaeologist and art dealer, became `one of the most remarkable figures in the artistic life of Rome in the second half of the Eighteenth Century' (Brian Allen, Grand Tour, The Lure of Italy in the Eighteenth Century, London, 1997, p.57), He trained as a painter under Agostino Masucci (up to 1748) and after a sojourn in London between 1752 and 1756 practising as a portraitist, Hamilton returned to Rome determined to paint heroic histories with life-size figures. He was a member of the Neo-Classical School of painters whose most important influences were Anton Raphael Mengs and the famous antiquary Johann Joachim Winckelmann. His first major work was Dawkins and Wood discovering Palmyra (1757-9) which was followed in a series of six pictures based on The Iliad (1760-75), such as Achillies mourning Patroclus (The National Gallery of Scotland). Many of his, never numerous, large pictures are now only known from engravings. His chief in situ work in Rome was a Neo-Classical room at the Villa Borghese. His history paintings enjoyed considerable fame in Europe, inspiring other Neo-Classicists such as David and Canova.Hamilton was a keen and resourceful archaeologist himself, undertaking excavations at Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli in 1769-1771, as well as dealing in antiques, selling them into the finest collections of members of the British aristocracy on their Grand Tour, most notably Charles Townley.

PROPERTY SOLD BY ORDER OF HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF HAMILTON AND BRANDON PORTRAIT OF JAMES, 6TH DUKE OF HAMILTON AND 3RD DUKE OF BRANDON (1724-1758) measurements note 238 by 146 cm., 93¾ by 57½ in. Full length, standing in a landscape, wearing a grey coat, yellow waistcoat and red breeches and holding a shotgun, his dog by his side Oil on canvas PROVENANCE By descent from the sitter EXHIBITED Edinburgh, Scottish National Portraits, 1884, no. 130 LITERATURE Julia Lloyd Williams, Gavin Hamilton, 1994, p. 7 NOTE This imposing portrait was painted in 1752 in the same year as the portrait of the sitter's beautiful wife, Elizabeth Gunning, to commemorate their marriage in February that year. The two portraits are the first pictures painted following the artist's return to Britain after his six year stay in Rome, where he had studied with the great Italian painter Agostino Masucci. His intention had been to establish himself in Britain as a history painter whilst painting portraits to help with his finances, but he obtained few new commissions and dispirited by the cold climate, he returned to Rome in 1756. This portrait remains therefore, a rare example of this short but important period of the artist's career. The sitter was the eldest son of James, 5th Duke of Hamilton and his first wife, Lady Anne Cochrane, daughter of John Cochrane, 4th Earl of Dundonald. Educated at Winchester and St Mary Hall, Oxford, he was intelligent and a great lover of literature, but also a dedicated gambler and a heavy drinker. At a masquerade ball on 16th January 1752 he met the beautiful Elizabeth Gunning, the daughter of Colonel John Gunning of Castle Coote. Elizabeth and her elder sister, Maria, were brought up at Abbeytown in Ireland, and both were regarded from their early years as great beauties. With the help of a pension from Lord Harrington, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, their mother bought them over to London to introduce them to society. As expected, they created a great stir and at a ball in Windsor in July 1750, George Coventry, Viscount Deerhurst fell in love with Maria. When two years later Elizabeth had attracted the attentions of the Duke of Hamilton, their mother saw her plans for their future come to fruition. On 11th February 1752 the two sisters went to a ball held by Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, and the Duke proposed to Elizabeth that evening. They were married two nights later, by the Reverend Alexander Keith at a chapel in Curzon Street. It is recorded that the Duke forgot the ring and that a ring from a bed-curtain had to be fetched from his house. Maria married Lord Deerhurst (who had become Earl of Coventry) a few days later. The Duke took his new bride back to Scotland, and they spent the summer at Hamilton Palace, moving on to Holyroodhouse in the autumn. On 26th January 1753 their daughter Elizabeth was born, followed by their son and heir, George on 18 February 1755 and a second son, Douglas, in 1756. Both sons were eventually to succeed to the dukedom, whilst Elizabeth married Edward, 12th Earl of Derby. The Duke and Duchess entertained lavishly in Scotland, their guests including James Wolfe and Oliver Goldsmith. However the Duke's health had suffered from his earlier excesses, and early in 1758 he caught a chill whilst hunting in Oxfordshire where he was staying with Anthony Keck at Great Tew, and on 18th January, he died at the early age of thirty-three. Gavin Hamilton's introduction to the Duke of Hamilton proved very fruitful. The Duke's second son Douglas came to Rome in 1775 with his tutor, Dr John Moore, and met the artist there. He commissioned from the artist his portrait with his tutor (National Gallery of Scotland) as well as Hector's Farewell to Andromache, and also acquired from him a large statue of Venus.

ACHILLES DRAGGING THE BODY OF HECTOR ROUND THE WALLS OF TROY; AND KING PRIAM PLEADING FOR THE BODY OF HECTOR measurements note each 74 by 104 cm., 29 1/4 by 41 in. the latter signed l.r.:G.Hamilton both oil on canvas ENGRAVED: Domenico Cunego 1775 PROVENANCE The former was commissioned by Francis Russell, Marquess of Tavistock (1739-1767); Acquired by Walter Butler, 2nd Earl of Ossory; Later owned by the Dundas family at Arniston The latter was commissioned by Luke Gardiner in 1771 NOTE The present works form part of a series of six paintings by Gavin Hamilton which were based on the story of Homer's Iliad. The first was Andromache Weeping over the Body of Hector (National Gallery of Scotland) which was finished in 1761 and exhibited in London the following year. The second was Achilles Mourning the Death of Patroclus (National Gallery of Scotland). The next in the series was Achilles dragging the body of Hector around the walls of Troy (the present lot) followed by The Anger of Achilles for the loss of Briseis (untraced). King Priam pleading for the body of Hector was painted next (present lot), and the series was concluded by Hector's Farewell to Andromache (on loan to the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow). Hamilton did not follow the chronology of the Iliad for the purposes of this series, but he was keen that all six paintings should be engraved be Cunego so as to form a coherent narrative much in the manner of Hogarth's Marriage a la Mode.
