XX Century

About the Item

John Bellany was an influential Scottish painter. Credited with pioneering a style of painting that melded the influences of Impressionism with Naive painting, Bellany’s work explored endemically Scottish symbolism and histories. "What he was doing in the mid-1960s in many ways changed the course of Scottish painting,” Keith Hartley, the senior curator of the Scottish National Gallery, has said of Bellany’s importance. “It was like a manifesto: I don't want to do paintings for Edinburgh drawing rooms, I want to do something which moves people, about ordinary people's lives. It was very much a protest.” Almost entirely figural, his paintings regularly feature themes of Christianity, maritime painting, and the female figure, drawing inspiration from the work of Scottish primitive painters such as Alan Davie and Robin Philipson. Born in Port Seton on June 18, 1942, Bellany went on to study at the Edinburgh College of Art in the early 1960s. His artistic career is lauded as among the most important 20th-century painters to come out of the British Isles, and his work is included among major collections including The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Tate Britain in London. He died on August 28, 2013 in Saffron Walden, England at the age of 71 after a long illness.

Joris, Pio Joris attended the Istituto di Belle Arti in Rome and in 1861 he enrolled at the Accademia di San Luca, where he remained for just a year. On a visit to the 1st Esposizione Nazionale di Belle Arti of Florence in 1861 he was attracted by the naturalistic works from the Naples school. He came into contact with Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi during a trip to Capri, Sorrento and Naples in 1866. In Rome, he kept company with Mariano Fortuny, whose painting, with its pleasant, captivating luministic effects, made a very strong impression on Joris. That was how he developed his own very personal artistic language, which went on to bring him remarkable commercial success on an international scale, helped by his collaboration with Paris art dealer...
