Ramsay Richard Reinagle
A Pair of 18th Century Spaniels and Pointers Hunting

1790

About the Item

Ramsay Richard Reinagle, RA (British, 1775 – 1862) Spaniel and Pointers, a Pair Circa 1790 Oil on Panel 19 3/4 X 23 1/4 inches, Framed Provenance: Captain Gilbey and by decent Son of the painter Philipp Reinagle (1749 – 1833), Ramsay Richard was so accomplished by the age of 13 he had begun exhibiting at the Royal Academy. The sure handling of composition and chiaroscuro belies the artist’s youth. Taught by his father, Ramsay Richard was strongly influenced by 17th century Dutch painters of nature such as Ruisdael, Potter and Wouwerman, and he occasionally reproduced their works. Reinagle was an adept painter of animals, hunting scenes and landscapes, and the influence of these earlier artists is often detectable in his paintings during a period when earlier Dutch art was highly collectable in Britain. Adapting these modes to appeal to a contemporary audience, Reinagle made sure to depict subjects and themes which could appeal to the English country gentleman and often portrayed hunting scenes prominently featuring English breeds of dog.

  • 18th Oil Painting Horses Feeding at the Stables
    By James Seymour
    Located in London, GB
    James Seymour (1702–1752) Feeding Time in the Stables Oil on canvas 32 x 38 inches inc. frame Provenance: Private Collection, Lambourn James Seymour (1702–1752) was an English painter, widely recognized for his equestrian art. Seymour was born in London. His father was an amateur artist and art dealer, whose other business dealings (as a banker, goldsmith, and diamond merchant) afforded young Seymour the leisure time to study art on his own, either his father's or the art at the Virtuosi Club of St. Luke - a gentleman's club his father belonged to, specializing in art. In a short time the boy was a self-taught artist, familiar with many of the prominent artists of the period. Seymour's love of art was matched only by his love of horses. He began spending time at racetracks early on, and before long found himself absorbed in the sport - drawing, painting, owning, breeding, and racing horses. His art proved popular among the prominent sporting families of the day, eventually garnering Seymour patrons in Sir William Jolliffe and Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset...
