Description
Samuel Palmer (British, 1805-1881) La Vocatella near Corpo di Cava, Italy watercolour over pencil, heightened with bodycolour and scratching out on wove paper 26.7 x 37.8cm (10 1/2 x 14 7/8in). Footnotes: Provenance With Fulda Gallery, Salford, where acquired by With Agnew's, London, 2002. Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 23 November 2006, lot 245. With W.S. Fine Art, London. Andrew Wyld: Connoisseur Dealer sale, Christie's, London, 10 July 2012, lot 147. The Collection of Timothy Clowes, UK, by whose executors offered Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 23 September 2021, lot 147, where purchased by the present owner. Palmer married Hannah Linnell, the eldest of John Linnell's children, in September of 1837, and a month later they left for an extended trip to Italy in the company of Palmer's close friend, George Richmond, with his wife and small boy. The group travelled through France and northern Italy, arriving in Rome in November where they spent the winter. In the spring of 1838, the Richmonds went north to Florence and the Palmers headed south to Naples and beyond, exploring the coast further south where they were to spend the summer and autumn only returning to Rome in October. They stayed at an inn at Corpo di Cava, a hamlet between Amalfi and Salerno, where their lodgings overlooked a Benedictine monastery. Palmer wrote in his notes that La Vocatella, the subject of the present work, was a chapel built by a hermit close to their lodgings. The strong southern light was to have a lasting effect on Palmer and his palette became increasingly vibrant during his Italian sojourn. To Hannah's sister he wrote of the 'rich costumes, cities and villages cresting the hills and precipices; and this heavenly sunshine and atmosphere'. Another view of La Vocatella of similar size by Palmer is in the collection of the Graves Art Gallery, Sheffield. This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * * VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.
