Oil painting of a garden scene from ‘The Heart of Midlothian’ by Leslie
English, c. 1830
Canvas: Height 30cm, width 25cm
Frame: Height 38.5cm, width 32.5cm, depth 3cm
This beautiful artwork was painted around 1830 by Charles Robert Leslie (1794-1859), a renowned English painter, especially known for his genre paintings.
The scene portrayed illustrates an event described by Sir Walter Scott in his 1818 novel ‘The Heart of Midlothian’. Scott tells the story of Jeanie Deans who travels to London to persuade Queen Caroline to release her wrongly imprisoned sister. The Duke of Argyll introduces Jeanie to the Queen on the grounds of Richmond Lodge. The Queen is highly impressed with the way Jeanie presents herself and allows for her sister to be released.
The painting in Mayfair Gallery’s collection depicts the scene when Jeanie Deans meets Queen Caroline. Deans is clothed in all black apart from the vivid red headscarf, while the Queen, her companion, and the Duke of Argyll are clothed in fashionable garments made from the best textiles. The light colours of the Queen's clothing magnificently stand out against the darker tones of the background and highlight her importance in the story.
The wonderfully carved giltwood frame is mounted with a plaque reading ‘INTERVIEW OF QUEEN CAROLINE WITH JEANIE DEANS IN RICHMOND PARK by C.R. LESLIE R.A.’.
Celebrating the works of a renowned artist and writer, this painting tells an interesting story with a deeper meaning.

- Hercules and Omphale, Old Master Painting, Mannerism, Baroque, Mythology, PragueLocated in Greven, DEHercules and Omphale Oil on panel, 52 x 41 cm According to legend, Hercules had to make atonement and became a slave to the Lydian queen Omphale. When she found out who her slave was, she married him. Falling for his mistress and made effeminate by the luxury of court life, the former hero allowed himself to become the laughing stock of the court. He dressed in women's clothes, spun wool and did other women's work, whereas Omphale wore his lion's skin and carried a wooden club. When the time of punishment was over, the hero realised his delusion and left Omphale. So far, the painting could not be clearly assigned to an artist. Nevertheless, it impresses with its fluid and convincing painting, whose colourfulness and conception are reminiscent of the Prague School around Bartholomäus Spranger. This work follows an engraving and an etching made by Michel Dorigny in 1643 after a design by Simon Vouet. It shows the same scene but the print differs in minor details from the present painting (see e.g. the head of the lion) and the treatment of the faces seems to be painted more detailed and refined. So far there is no painting...Category

- "Lady in yellow", 19th Century oil on panel by Rogelio de Egusquiza y BarrenaBy Rogelio de Egusquiza y BarrenaLocated in Madrid, ESROGELIO DE EGUSQUIZA Y BARRENA LADY IN YELLOW signed "R. Egusquiza" (lower right) oil on panel 28-5/8 X 20-3/4 inches (72.5 X 52.7 cm.) framed: 32-5/8 X 24-3/4 inches (82.5 X 62.5 cm.) Rogelio de Egusquiza y Barrena (1845 – 10 February 1915) was a Spanish painter, known for his friendship with the German composer Richard Wagner, whose works he helped make familiar in Spain He was born in El Astillero, into a well-to-do family. He studied in Madrid and with Léon Bonnat at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1868, after travelling and participating several times in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts, he returned to Paris and settled there. At first, he painted historical scenes, but later turned to genre scenes and portraits in the Academic style. Following the death of Marià Fortuny, he moved to Rome at the invitation of the Madrazos, Raimundo and Ricardo, taking Fortuny's place at their studio through 1875 and attending classes at the Spanish Academy in Rome. He heard Wagner's music for the first time in 1876, after returning to Paris. Three years later, he travelled to Munich to hear a performance of The Ring of the Nibelungen. His enthusiasm for what he heard led him to go to Bayreuth, where he introduced himself to Wagner and became his friend. In the following years, he and Wagner got together again several times; in Venice (1880), Berlín (1881) and Bayreuth (1882); where he was a guest at the premiere of Parsifal. After his first meeting with Wagner, he decided to devote his career to doing works on Wagnerian themes; mostly portraits of the characters rather than specific scenes. During his visits to Germany, he also created portraits of Arthur Schopenhauer (posthumous) and King Ludwig II...Category
