Jacob More, The Tomb of the Horatii and Curiatii on the Via Appia near Albano
Est: €4,000 - €5,000
Framed under glass The so-called tomb of the Horatii and Curiatii is located on the Via Appia near Albano. It is constructed as a rectangular plinth with four rounded cones at the corners and a fifth larger cone in the centre. It is unclear for whom the monument, which is based on Etruscan forms, was originally intended. This sheet depicts three shepherds resting beside the tomb with a donkey in a hilly, wooded landscape. The piece was apparently once signed and dated 1787 on the reverse, as this is noted in catalogue entries from 2007, but this is no longer evident. It may have been mounted on card after the sale.

Jacob More, The Villa of Maecenas and the Waterfalls at Tivoli
Est: €4,000 - €5,000
Framed under glass Inscribed on the reverse: Maecenas Villa at Tivoli. Jacob More. Jacob More learnt to painting in his home town of Edinburgh. His greatest teacher and role model was the French master Claude Lorrain. More moved to Rome in 1773, where Jakob Philipp Hackert had settled just four years previously. There is said to have been a certain rivalry between the two artists. Goethe visited More in his studio in 1787 and was impressed by his works. More was highly respected among the other British artists in Rome and he also sent his works from the city to the exhibitions of the Royal Academy in London. One of his main patrons was Prince Borghese, and More even designed a landscape garden in the Scottish style for the prince's villa.

VARIOUS PROPERTIES THE ERUPTION OF ETNA, WITH THE PIOUS BROTHERS OF CATALNIA measurements note 146 by 199 cm., 57½ by 78½ in. signed and dated l.c.:Jacob More / Rome 1787. oil on canvas PROVENANCE Acquired from the artist's studio by John Smith Barry, Marbury Hall; By descent at Marbury Hall until 1819; Anon. sale, Christie's, 10th April 1992, lot 55 EXHIBITED Royal Academy, 1788, no.837 LITERATURE The artist's MS Letterbook (Edinburgh University Library, f.42 to Mr Sandys 3rd January 1787, f.49 to Lord Bristol 11th January 1787, f.63 to John Smith Barry 19th May 1787); Memorie per le Belle Arti, Volume III, 1787, pp.29-32; A Catalogue of Paintings, Statues, Busts etc. at Marbury Hall, the seat of John Smith Barry Esq. in the County of Chester, 1819; Patricia Andrew, 'Jacob More, Biography and a Checklist of Works', Walpole Society, Vol.LV, 1989-1990, B.19, Fig.130 NOTE The present dramatic composition represents the story of Ansinomo and Anapio rescuing their elderly parents from the eruption of Etna, and carrying them to a waiting boat. This story is recorded in the writings of Diodorus Siculus, a Greek historian of the first century B.C. More's painting of this subject was clearly inspired by the discovery of the ruins of Pompeii in 1770. The discovery of a fossilised city was itself romantic and intriguing, but combined with the artistic possibilities of using shadow and light which could derive from depicting an eruption, paintings of volcanoes provided artists with an unmissable opportunity. Joseph Wright of Derby first exhibited a painting of the subject as early as 1776, and subsequently painted a series of paintings of the eruption of Vesuvius. More himself had painted a Last Days of Pompeii which now hangs in the National Gallery of Scotland. More left Edinburgh in 1767 to travel to Italy. He is recorded as being in Rome in 1771, and he quickly established an impressive reputation. Frederick Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol, was More's most important patron, and More soon became the sole agent for acquiring works for Ickworth and Downhill. There is no evidence, however, to suggest that Jacob More ever went to Sicily, and the present composition is an attractive mix of natural realism, and traditional history painting. The reviewer in the Memorie per le Belle Arti writes that More "has portrayed Nature with extraordinary fidelity, and like a tragedy, the picture both terrifies and delights at the same time" (op. cit.). The painting was conceived as a pair with The Deluge, and More was clearly keen to combine dramatic visual effects on a monumental scale. It was in the collection of John Smith Barry at Marbury Hall, who travelled to Italy in late 1771. In Rome he met Thomas Jenkins who began to sell him paintings and antiquities. He acquired art voraciously, and by 1814 there were recorded to have been 325 pictures and over sixty antiquities at Marbury Hall.
