limited edition digital print on paper, signed in silver ink and numbered 64/100, from the Revelations : A Portrait of Magic Series mounted, framed and under glass image size 81cm x 63cm, overall size 101cm x 82cm Note: certificate of authenticity is included with this lot. Note 2: Scottish artist Stuart regularly hits the headlines with his Pop Art paintings. Fusing cartoons with themes of idealism and consumerism, his multilayered artworks blend the past with the present through layers of figurative imagery, text and symbols. His release, Revelations: A Portrait of Magic, depicts the central characters of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Stuart's McAlpine Miller’s spectral style has been described as ‘supernatural realism’ by the BBC and Radio 2 art critic Estelle Lovatt, who also praised its 4D aesthetic, adding that he has “one of the most creative minds in art today”. Using subtle tones of paint, he creates the illusion of transparency. The overall effect is similar to looking through a glass bottle, distorting the image and presenting a different version of the same subject. In turn, a far-fetched reality is created, highlighting the unrealistic expectations of today’s society. A graduate of the prestigious Glasgow School of Art, Stuart is an admirer of Old Masters such as Caravaggio and Hieronymus Bosch but is particularly inspired by one of the leading exponents of Pop Art, Andy Warhol. Stuart says: “Warhol’s views on mass consumerism and the way he translated these into his art is something I really relate to. I hope my art does something similar and stands the test of time.” Inspired by JK Rowling's Harry Potter novels, Stuart’s Revelations: A Portrait of Magic collection has captured best-loved characters including Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Albus Dumbledore, Draco Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange. Stuart says: “The art of illusion and magic reveals itself through the unified bond of the three central characters. As we continue to work in unison, we open the doors to an unimagined future, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. A new era lies ahead, as yet unrecognised but already awaiting our arrival.” In 2011, Stuart was chosen as artist-in-residence by the world-famous Savoy hotel after its major refurbishment. During his time there, he produced the collection A Time For Reflection: The Savoy Suite, which offered a unique insight into the hotel's patron, including Alfred Hitchcock, Marilyn Monroe and Charlie Chaplin. This popular release for Castle Fine Art was followed by Lost Lives/Split Personalities, which depicted some of history's most famous musicians including David Bowie, Amy Winehouse, Freddie Mercury and George Michael. Music took on a new meaning for Stuart when he began playing the piano seriously. Stuart says: “Music has for me, like many others, greatly influenced my own approach to my art, and the potential it creates within. The emotion that music can reveal allows the listener to transport themselves to a time, a place and a feeling. Art can do the same. We just have to open our minds.” The piano and art took on a new significance for Stuart when he was commissioned by Paul McCartney to paint the piano which he used on his 2004 European Tour. Stuart’s talents also saw him work on several advertising campaigns including Renault, McVities and Virgin; he also painted a triptych of The Alternative Last Supper used as backdrop for the main dining scene in Stephen Berkoff’s 1998 film Decadence. Stuart McAlpine Miller has commissions and collectors around the world, and has exhibited internationally, including Connaught Brown, the Catto Gallery, Kings Road Gallery, Rebecca Hossack Gallery and Duncan Miller in London; Ruth O'Hara and Hoerle-Guggenheim in New York and the SOTA Gallery, Hong Kong, as well as through the Castle Fine Art network of galleries in the UK.

The ship was torpedoed and was so badly damaged that she had to be abandoned. The First Radio Officer Mr Smith sent out signals on the emergency set until the last moment and then helped to get the boats away. One overturned, but six men including Mr Smith and the Second Engineer, Mr Goodridge, managed to regain it and cut the painter, allowing it to drift clear of the burning ship. This boat lay to her sea anchor during the night. In the morning two other boats were seen, but owing to the heavy swell and the fact that there were no oars, they could not join company. Some time later, Mr Goodridge was able to rig a jury rudder and sail, and a course was set. After a week they were rescued.’ The S.S. Shahristan was a British cargo liner belonging to the Strick Line, built in 1938. She was torpedoed by U-371 and sunk in the North Atlantic on 29th July 1941. The Captain and 48 men were lost.

Carrying vital war supplies for the Red Army, and under the Close Escort of 11 Destroyers and Corvettes, the Merchantmen followed the usual summer route north of Iceland and, after the Escorts had refuelled at Reykjavik, north of Bear Island in the Barents Sea, and into Kola Inlet, North Russia. To as far as Bear Island, the Convoy and Escort was to be covered by the 1st Cruiser Squadron, comprising H.M.S. London, H.M.S. Norfolk, the U.S.S. Tuscaloosa and U.S.S. Wichita. Standing off to the north-east of Jan Mayen Island, distant heavy support was to be further provided by the Commander-in-Chief Home Fleet, Sir John Tovey in the York, the Battleship U.S.S. Washington, the British Cruisers Cumberland and Nigeria, and a further 14 Destroyers. Incomplete intelligence was received at the Admiralty that the Battleship Tirpitz had put out of her Norwegian anchorage and was at sea heading for PQ17. Staff Officers at the Admiralty and Tovey at sea disagreed, but were unfortunately overruled, and in an unfortunate example of ‘back-seat driving’, Admiral Pound ordered the 1st Cruiser Squadron to withdraw westward at nigh speed, and signalled PQ17’s Close Escort Commander at 0923 hours on 4 July: ‘Immediate. Owing to the threat of surface ships convoy is to disperse and proceed to Russian ports’. Minutes later, the First Lord urgently repeated: ‘Most Immediate. My 9.23 of the 4th. CONVOY IS TO SCATTER’. By evening, the east-bound Merchantmen and Close Escort were fatally strung out over 25 miles of wild Arctic sea. Junkers 88 aircraft from the Third Squadron of KG30 swarmed in to cripple the cordite-laden Bolton Castle and Zaafaran, while Admiral Schmundt’s ‘Ice Devil’ Submarines hastened to pick off stragglers ‘in a U-Boat’s’ paradise’. All in all they sent to the bottom in the holds of 25 ships, 210 aircraft, 430 tanks, 3,350 trucks and nearly 100,000 tons of spare parts and other supplies desperately needed by the Red Army; it reeled before the murderous advance of German Army Groups A and B. To the survivors of PQ17 it appeared that the preservation of British and American capital ships was more valuable than the convoy, the war material carried, and indeed, the seamen who perished. 6 a.m. found the crew of the PQ17’s Rear-Commodore’s Ship Empire Byron exhausted after 36 hours at action stations. The Master, Captain Wharton, had fallen asleep in an armchair having given up his bunk to the Lieutenant-in-Charge of the Maritime Artillery Unit who had been on alert even longer. It was the Empire Byron’s second North Russian Convoy and in her hold she carried a precious cargo of the new Churchill Tanks. Two miles away, at 07:15, Lieutenant-Commander Bielfeld of U -703 launched two torpedoes, both of which passed harmlessly ahead of the target. Biefeld believed he had missed astern, so added a couple of knots to the Merchantman’s estimated speed, and fired tubes II and IV. When the torpedoes missed even farther ahead, he hastened his crew to turn the boat round so as to bring her stern tube to bear. An hour later U-703 was again in an attacking position, but this time the ship’s speed had been accurately determined at eight knots. There was no doubt about the fifth torpedo, and at 08.27 Empire Byron received a direct hit in the Main Engine-Room. Wharton was so soundly asleep that he had to be woken by the Gunnery Lieutenant who informed him of the torpedoing. ‘He looked outside: there was pandemonium as the crew were already struggling to leave the ship; three of the four lifeboats had been lowered, and the fourth was on its way down. Wharton went to the Bridge to see that all papers and documents were destroyed. The Second (sic) Radio Officer, a Manchester man, asked whether he should fetch an emergency wireless for use in the boats, but Wharton told him the set had already been sent aboard them . . . Wharton dived into the sea. He was picked up by a raft, and transferred to one of the lifeboats. He ordered all the men to concentrate in two of the lifeboats, one of which had an engine. There were several bodies in the sea, one of which he recognised to his horror as being that of the young Manchester Radio Officer to whom he had spoken only minutes before . . .’ Together with the Mancunian Third Radio Officer Richard Phillips, the sinking of the Empire Byron resulted in the loss of two other crew, three Gunners trapped below, and one passenger.
