Mather Brown (1761-1831) Portrait of Major-General John Robinson (1757-1819)
By Mather Brown
Located in London, GB
Mather Brown (1761-1831)
Portrait of Major-General John Robinson (1757-1819)
Oil on canvas; held in a period giltwood frame
Provenance: Denston Hall, Suffolk and by descent
Literature: Suffolk Portraits, mss by Edmund Farrer, 1921. Vol. 5 (West Supp), entry 230, no.4 – NPG Heinz archive.
John Robinson was a third generation professional soldier, whose father was a Lt.-Colonel. He joined the army in 1773 and was Captain by the time he married Rebecca Clive, daughter of “Clive of India” in March 1782. This family connection helped him immeasurably in his political ambitions as a seat in Parliament became available whilst his brother-in-law Edward, Lord Clive was in India.
The portrait presented here was completed around 1805 when Robinson was a Major-General. This is confirmed by evidence that surrounds an incomplete portrait by George Romney of his late wife Rebecca. Unfinished at the time of Romney’s death, the painting remained unpaid for and unclaimed. On 25th March 1805, William Saunders, a framer, who had been looking after the work wrote to the artist’s son John Romney...

French Mid 19th Century Portrait of an Italian Brigand
Located in Cotignac, FR
Mid 19th Century oil on canvas portrait of an Italian brigand, unsigned, in painted wood and gilt frame.
The painting is a fine and fascinating rendition with plenty of wonderful character and detail to the costume, accessories, landscape and seascape. Very atmospheric and imposing much like the character it portrays.
There is a trade stamp to the back of the canvas for the Paris firm of Susse Freres. The canvas is on a fine quality stretcher with 'keys'. There is an artist's name or title written on the top of the rear stretcher (see photo).
Bands of brigands who populated the hills of southern Italy were steady fodder for the Romantic imagination, and their exploits were reported both factually, fancifully and artistically
The painting dates from a period when France, under its then leader Napoleon III, was involved in the conflicts in the Italian states and the unification and eventual creation of the nation of Italy.
An earlier and similar portrait exists of the infamous brigand Mazzocchi by Achille-Etna Michallony .

Portrait of a man, a selfportrait ?
oil on paper
17.5 x 12 cm oval
Framed under glass : 43 x 34.5 cm
This rather mysterious portrait is perhaps a self-portrait of the artist who painted it. This is suggested by the three-quarter pose and the gaze fixed on the viewer.
What this man seems to be staring at is himself.
Similarly, the model's appearance is reminiscent of the image of the romantic, bohemian, tortured artist. It's also very interesting that he used a range of dark colours to reinforce this idea of melancholy.
It has been suggested that this small oil on paper is close to the art of François Bonvin (1817-1887) and Théodule Ribot...
