CIRCLE OF MICHAEL DAHL (BRITISH 1656/59-1743) PORTRAIT OF HENRY GREY, DUKE OF KENT (1671-1740), HALF-LENGTH, WEARING THE ORDER OF THE GARTER Oil on canvas Inscribed 'Henry Grey Duke of Kent Anno 1731 Father of Amabell Lady Glenorchy' (upper right) 76 x 63.5cm (29¾ x 25 in.)Illustrated: The Connoisseur, May 1965, p.4This painting was possibly at Wrest Park, Bedfordshire in c. 1740. An inventory for the mansion lists a number of portraits of the Duke although the sparsity of their respective descriptions prohibit a firm identification (ed. J. Collett-White, 'Inventories of Bedfordshire Country Houses 1714-1830', The Bedfordshire Historical Record Society, vol. 74, 1995, pp. 251-273). Furthermore, three portraits of the Duke of Kent were sold at the 1917 Wrest Park sale of paintings and drawings (Christie, Manson & Woods, 16 November 1917, lots 8, 26 and 53). Lot 8 in this sale, 'Portrait of Henry, Duke of Kent, in brown coat embroidered with silver and gold, 50 in. by 40 in.' is possibly another closely related ¾ length version of the portrait offered here, sold Abell Auction Company, Los Angeles on 15 October 1995, lot 13, which has the same dimensions as lot 8 in the 1917 sale. Henry, 12th Earl and future Duke of Kent (1671-1740), inherited Wrest Park in 1701. A leading courtier and politician, he had been on the Grand Tour in 1690, returning with an appreciation of classicism. At court, throughout his tenure, he was appointed Gentleman of the Bedchamber, Constable of Windsor Castle, Lord Steward of the Household, and Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal while as a politician he held the posts of Privy Councillor, and Lord Chamberlain on the recommendation of Queen Anne's then confidante, Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough The latter role was relinquished when he was created Duke of Kent. In 1715, he engaged the well-known Italian architect, Giacomo Leoni, to modify Wrest Park. Leoni's plans were shown to other leading Italian architects such as Juvarra for their approval by the Duke's two sons whilst on their own Grand Tour. However, finally, the South Sea Bubble and the premature deaths of the Duke's sons deterred the Duke from embarking on Wrest Park's refurbishment. Condition Report: The canvas has been lined, cleaned and re-varnished. Craquelure throughout, however the paint surface appears stable. Rubbing and abrasions to the framing edges. Inspection under UV light reveals some old in-filling to the craquelure, however this is very fine and sensitively done. There is also evidence of a heavy varnish. Overall the work appears to be in good restored condition.Condition Report Disclaimer

Some surface marks, otherwise about very fine, obverse dark-toned, very rare; pierced for suspension £300-£400 --- George O’Brien Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont (1751-1837), Petworth House, Sussex and Orchard Wyndham, Somerset; educ. Wandsworth and Westminster; succeeded to the family titles and estates in 1763, and those of his uncle, Percy Wyndham O’Brien, in Ireland in 1774; substantial patron of the arts, including Turner, Constable and Flaxman; canal builder and majority shareholder in the Arun Navigation Co; bred horses and pedigree Sussex cattle, maintaining a racing stud near Lewes; his horses won the Derby six times between 1782 and 1826 and the Oaks five times between 1788 and 1820, records that remain unbeaten today. By political persuasion a Whig, he purchased the pocket borough of Midhurst in 1787, using it to return his two younger brothers to the House of Commons, but sold it in 1796 to Lord Carrington. He revived the Sussex Yeomanry Cavalry in 1794 and installed himself as its colonel. Chiefly known today for his myriad affairs, he fathered 43 illegitimate children and maintained some 15 mistresses at Petworth House, as well as Lady Melbourne (1751-1818), of whom it was rumoured that Wyndham ‘bought her’ from a previous lover, Lord Coleraine, for £13,000. The earl is said to have behaved no differently to most wealthy young men of his day, “taking women as frequently as they took snuff and changing lovers as often as they changed their linen”, according to the National Trust, which acquired Petworth House in 1947

"Farthest North" by Fridtjof Nansen, Constable & Co, 2 vols, 1897 first edition

Giovanni Antonio Canal, genannt „Canaletto“, 1697 Venedig – 1768 ebenda, Nachfolge desCAPRICCIO EINER PALASTLOGGIA MIT FIGURENSTAFFAGEÖl auf Leinwand.132,2 x 93,5 cm.In vergoldetem Prunkrahmen.Bei dem Gemälde handelt es sich nicht eigentlich um ein „Capriccio“, dazu ist das Gesamtgegenständliche zu entschieden realistisch, die architektonischen Einzelheiten zu detailgenau gezeigt, wie wir dies eben bei Werken Canalettos kennen. Dennoch ist hier möglicherweise eine Fantasiearchitektur ins Bild gesetzt, die vom Innern einer hohen, von Säulen getragenen Loggia mit Blick auf eine Parkmauer in ungewöhnlicher Weise auch die Raumdecke der Loggia in einem Halbbogen offen zeigt. Solche fantastischen Architekturideen sind uns von Stichen des Piranesi geläufig. Der Wechsel von Schatten im Raum und hellem, im Sonnenlicht stehendem Gebäude verleiht dem Gemälde eine attraktive Spannung. Man scheint die südlich-sommerliche Temperatur zu spüren, bei der die Staffagefiguren sich sämtlich im Schatten aufhalten. Höchst originell hierbei die Personen auf der oberen Emporenbalustrade, von der ein großes Velum herabhängt, wie ebenso der schräg im unteren Raum hängende ovale Goldrahmen oder die extrem lang herunterhängende Laterne links im Bild. Die Darstellung ist weitgehend identisch mit einem 1765 geschaffenen Werk Canalettos, mit Museumsbetitelung „Colonnade Opening onto the Courtyard of a Palace“ im Cannon Hall Museum, bei Barnsley in South Yorkshire (56 x 42 cm.)Eine weitere Version („Perspektive mit Porticus“) in kleineren Abmessungen (42 x 32,5) befindet sich in der Sammlung Carmen Thyssen Nationalmuseum Thyssen-Bornemisza, Inv.Nr. CTB 1981.39, dort mit variierenden Einzelheiten einer ausführlicher geschilderten Staffage, mit einem Bettler, einem Mann mit Kind sowie Hühnern in der Loggia, die Parkmauer ist anders dargestellt, anstelle der Vase mit Figuren bekrönt. Ferner ist eine weitere Darstellung bei Stephen Ongpi Fine Art bekannt geworden, ausgeführt in Gouache und Feder, mit Aufschrift „Anto. Canale“, in den Abmessungen 36,4 x 28,7 cm, erstmals 1919 im Petit Palais, Paris, ehem. Slg. Luigi Albertini, Rom, zusammen mit dem dazugehörigen Ölbild ausgestellt. Canaletto, in Europa längst bekannt, wurde am 11. September 1763 in die 1750 gegründete venezianische Akademie aufgenommen, und hatte dazu ein Musterbeispiel seines Könnens einzureichen, das sich heute in der Galleria dell´Accademia in Venedig befindet. Das Bildthema, von dem mehrere Versionen existieren, dessen Darstellung auch Giovanni Antonio Guardi (1698/99-1760) zu einem seiner Bilder inspiriert hat, ist 1765, also in der nämlichen Zeit entstanden, in der Canaletto sich erneut wieder Gegenständen seiner Heimatstadt zuwandte. So reiht sich das vorliegende Gemälde in die bereits bekannten Versionen ein, zum Teil auch von der Werkstatt geschaffen, die weitgehend Detailunterschiede erkennen lassen.Literatur: Vgl.

(1370321) (11)Giovanni Antonio Canal, also known as “Canaletto”,1697 Venice – 1768 ibid., follower ofCAPRICCIO OF A PALACE LOGGIA WITH FIGURE STAFFAGE Oil on canvas. 132.2 x 93.5 cm.The painting is not actually a “capriccio” as the overall objective is too decidedly realistic for that, and the architectural details are shown with too much detail, as is typical of Canaletto´s works. Nevertheless, an imaginary architecture is possibly depicted here. From the inside of a high loggia supported by columns with a view of a park wall, it also shows the open ceiling of the loggia in a semi-arch in an unusual way. Such fantastic architectural ideas are familiar from engravings by Piranesi. The alternation of shadows in the room and a bright building standing in the sunlight gives the painting an attractive tension. One appears to feel the southern summer temperature, in which the staffage figures are all in the shade. The people on the upper gallery balustrade, from which a large veil is hanging, are highly original, as is the oval gold frame hanging diagonally in the lower room or the extremely long hanging lantern on the left of the painting. The depiction is largely identical to a work by Canaletto from 1765, titled Colonnade Opening onto the Courtyard of a Palace in Cannon Hall Museum, South Yorkshire (Part of Barnsley Museums, 56 x 42 cm). Another version (Perspective with Porticus) with smaller dimensions (42 x 32.5) is held at the Carmen Thyssen Collection (Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, inv. no. CTB 1981.39), there with varying details of a more detailed figure staffage including a beggar, a man with a child and chickens in the loggia. The park wall is also depicted differently, surmounted by figures instead of a vase. Another illustration by Stephen Ongpin, Fine Art, is known, executed in gouache and pen, with the inscription “Anto. Canale” (36.4 x 28.7 cm), exhibited for the first time in 1919 in the Petit Palais, Paris, formerly Coll. Luigi Albertini, Rome, together with the accompanying oil painting. Canaletto, long known in Europe, was admitted to the Venetian Academy founded in 1750 on 11 September 1763, and he had to submit a model example of his skills, which is now held at the Galleria dell’Accademia in Venice. The subject of the painting, of which there are several versions and whose depiction also inspired Guardi to create one of his paintings, was created in 1765, i.e. at the same time that Canaletto was again turning to subjects from his hometown. Thus, the present painting aligns with the already known versions, in part also created by the workshop, which largely show differences in detail.
