SIR WILLIAM BLAKE RICHMOND (1842–1921)
Est: £500 - £800
SIR WILLIAM BLAKE RICHMOND (1842–1921) STUDY FOR 'THE RESURRECTION': SLEEPING ROMAN SOLDIER, LATE 1890's black and white chalk on brown paper, framed 26cm x 43cm (frame size 41cm x 59cm) Provenance: Estate of the late Dr. Susan Beattie Note: Between 1899 and 1904, four quarter-dome mosaics were added to the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral, based on designs by William Blake Richmond. These mosaics, produced and installed by James Powell and Sons, marked a significant departure from the smooth, flat, and non-reflective tesserae style used in earlier designs of G.F. Watts in 1866. Richmond instead embraced a more dynamic and vibrant aesthetic, utilising jagged, irregular glass pieces set at angles to the plaster to catch and reflect light. This innovative technique was inspired by Richmond's study of Byzantine and early Christian mosaics in Ravenna, Monreale, and Rome. The current lot, a depiction of a sleeping Roman soldier, is a study for part of the quarter-dome composition entitled "The Resurrection".

Nothing looks real – nothing is to be grasped – the city is an unreality…’ (William Blake Richmond, 'The Silver Chain', 1916, p.24). Richmond first visited Cairo in 1885 and was enchanted by the city, making several return visits in the next few years. He was particularly interested by the places of worship and painted the Mosque of Sultan Hassan several times, including a depiction of the interior courtyard (private collection). As his wife later recalled; ‘This was the most Eastern place that Sir William visited, and the tropical heat, the low mud huts, the brilliant moonlight on the palms, the crowds of Arabs, and the primitive way of life, were to him intensely attractive… He stayed some time in Cairo, devoting himself especially to drawing in the mosques and about the environs of the delightful city, not yet spoiled by European barbarians, frequently spending the entire day in one or other of the mosques observing the picturesque crowds of Arabs, negroes and Copts passing from the shadow of the deep doorways and recesses to the full light of the court open to the sky. One has not realised what colour is until the East has been visited.’ (Helen Lascelles, 'The Life and Works of Sir W. B Richmond, special Christmas edition of The Art Annual', 1902, illustrated p.21).

Est: £800 - £1,200
Sir William Blake Richmond, RA, British 1843-1921- A Procession in Honour of Bacchus; pencil, pen and ink on paper, 16.2 x 41.6 cm. Provenance: with Abbott & Holder, London, 1960. with Islington Antiques, London, 1977. Private Collection, UK. Note: Richmond's final version of 'A Procession in Honour of Bacchus' in oils was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1869, after the artist had returned to London from his travels in Italy, where he met painters including Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) and Giovanni Costa (1826-1903). The present drawing reveals similarities with its composition, in the central female figure for example, who holds aloft a bowl of grapes, referencing Bacchus's role as the God of Wine. Richmond studied under the eminent critic and artist John Ruskin (1819-1900), and succeeded him as the Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford University from 1878 to 1883. He was a significant figure in the development of the Arts & Crafts Movement, and as well as being a highly regarded painter, worked as a designer of stained glass and mosaics. One of his most celebrated projects is undoubtedly the mosaic decoration which adorns the interior of St Paul's Cathedral in London.

Richmond' (on remnants of an old label attached to the reverse)oil on panel29.9 x 61cm (11 3/4 x 24in). ProvenanceSir Edmund Verney, Claydon, Buckinghamshire.Thence by descent.ExhibitedParis, Universal Exhibition, 1878, British Fine Art Section, no. 230, as Angel Watchers.London, New Gallery, Works of Sir William B Richmond KGB, 1900-1901, no. 182.LiteratureSimon Reynolds, William Blake Richmond, An Artist's Life 1842-1921, Norwich, 1995, pp. 111 and 119, colour plate XIII.Probably Richmond's most symbolically numinous painting is a small oil entitled The Watchers, or Angels Watching over a Dead Painter, started in 1873 and finished 1876. It depicts three completely naked angels, beautiful youths with large red wings, two seated on the floor and one leaning through a loggia window with the last light of evening over an Italianate landscape behind him. Behind the seated angels are frescoes of the Resurrection and the Descent from the Cross; beneath the window, on a bier, lies a corpse in a shroud, the artist, brilliantly lit in the evening light. This finely balanced if esoteric composition powerfully juxtaposes death with an eternal after-life, suggested in the twilight sky, and the very real corporeality of the naked bronzed youths in the foreground.(Simon Reynolds, William Blake Richmond, An Artist's Life, p. 111)William Blake Richmond, son of the portraitist George Richmond RA, studied at the Royal Academy Schools in the early 1860s; influenced by his father and by Sir John Everett Millais, Richmond soon gained a reputation as a portraitist of children in the Pre-Raphaelite manner.On 21 October 1864, Richmond married the beautiful Charlotte Foster; after an all too brief love affair, Charlotte died in his arms on 13 December 1865, taken by tuberculosis. Richmond himself contracted tuberculosis, but he largely recovered during his Italian sojourn in 1866-1869. Although Richmond remarried in 1867, Charlotte remained the great love of his life.While in Rome, Richmond shed his Pre-Raphaelite style in favour of European Classicism, itself moving into Symbolism. His artistic influences were Frederic, Lord Leighton, Giovanni Costa, George Heming Mason and the master of emerging Symbolism, Arnold Böcklin. Richmond had started to paint on a gigantic scale in works such as The Procession of Bacchus of 1866-9 and The Bowlers of 1872.In 1870 Richmond moved into Beavor Lodge, Hammersmith, but he was both unwell and yearning for his lost days in Rome. He had glorified that in Italy he could hire models who would pose in the nude; all his figures were, like Leighton's, first drawn in the nude. In 1872, the young Italian model Gaetano Meo, recommended by Mason, called at Beavor Lodge to see if he could sit for this renowned Italophile. A beautiful young lady received him and indicated where Richmond could be found in his studio. Asking Gaetano Meo how he got into the house, Richmond was astonished at Meo's description of the lady who let him in; at the time Clara, Mrs Richmond, was out. The introduction led Meo to become Richmond's chief model and lifelong friend. One day, leafing through Richmond's drawings, Meo found some of the late Charlotte; turning to his master he advised that this was the lady who had welcomed him. This was one of a number of reported ghostly sightings at Beavor Lodge.The Watchers was one of three works which Richmond included in the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1878, catalogued as Angel Watchers; this was the first Continental Exhibition in which Richmond participated. The work remained unsold, Richmond noting in his diary on 23 December, 'The Watchers unsold, oh dear, it would help me to have a bit of help from outside'. European Symbolism was not welcome in the UK, especially before Leighton's growing success and the advent of the Grosvenor Gallery, and later the New Gallery (where Richmond included the present lot in his retrospective exhibition of 1900). Fortunately, Captain Edmund Verney- a long standing family friend - came to Richmond's rescue in the spring of 1879 when he agreed to purchase The Watchers for £110 to include the £10 cost of the frame. Verney's wife, Lady Margaret Hay-Williams had died and The Watchers was to hang beneath Richmond's portrait of her, painted in 1873. He wrote, 'If you have it I shall be pleased to think of my pet picture in the hands of old friends'; and in a subsequent letter 'I value the place where the picture is to go, and I still more value the very kind and sincere pleasure that you say it will give to your wife'.Simon Reynolds notes: 'I am convinced that The Watchers depicts the corpse of Charlotte, dead some ten years, with a very Italian background surrounding her; the naked angels are more than likely depictions of Gaetano Meo, welcomed as he was into the intimacy of Richmond's life'.We are grateful to Simon Reynolds for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.

Stirling, The Richmond Papers, London, 1926, pp. 99-100 Simon Reynolds, Sir William Blake Richmond: an artist's life, 1842-1921, 1995, p. 14, see note 15, p. 364 ⁂ The young William Blake Richmond executed the present drawing aged only 15, and would have done so while enrolled in the Royal Academy Schools, London, where he studied for three years. As a drawing from 1858 the nature of the work at first appears as an anachronism, but in reality the drawing serves to illustrate the "poetic" spell that the artist was under after having grown up with the early work of his father, and his father's contemporaries. For a loosely associated work by George Richmond, albeit in a reproductive medium, see the line engraving 'The Shepherd' (see Tate, ref.: N04064); similarly see the wood-engravings by Edward Calvert, the artist arguably closest to Blake Richmond's aesthetic in this drawing, and the Virgil woodcuts by William Blake. "If there be the least value in my pictures, it is due to such lovely early impressions derived from the sweet poetic work of many of [my father's] contemporaries - Calvert, Blake and others, whose shadows are substance still to me." [Sir William Blake Richmond, letter to his father, 50 years after the death of William Blake, from Stirling, op. cit., p. 28]
