Charles Towne
18th Century Oil Painting of Horse and his master - Hunter and Huntsman

1790

About the Item

Charles TOWNE (1763-1840, English) Hunter and Huntsman 1790 Oil on canvas Signed & dated Framed 39 x 55 inches Charles Towne was an English painter of landscapes, horses and other animals with a particular skill for horse racing and hunting scenes. Born in Wigan, his talent for art was apparent from a young age and he received some training from John Rathbone in Leeds. By the 1790s Towne was an established animal painter with a style reminiscent of Stubbs. He lived in London from 1799-1804, during which time he exhibited at the Royal Academy. His work was well regarded by his contemporaries including Joseph Farrington, but he was also noted as a man of “coarse, debased manners and conversation”.

  • C19th Portrait Princesse de Joinville of Brazil - Spectacular fit for a palace
    By Henri d'Ainecy Montpezat
    Located in London, GB
    Portrait of Princess de Joinville riding a Bay Horse Henri d’Aincy, Le Comte Monpezat (French 1817-1859) Painted circa 1837-9 oil on canvas 113 x 92 inches (including frame) 92 x 70 inches (unframed) Provenance – from a private royal collection This magnificent portrait depicts Princess de Joinville, the daughter of Pedro I, Emperor of Brazil and the King of Portugal. Through her illustrious family she was directly related Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia and the Russian royal family, as well as to many of the great ruling families of Europe. The work clearly confirms Monpezat as one of the most accomplished equestrian portrait painters in France in the early nineteenth century. In terms of scale, quality and dramatic power, it must surely be considered amongst his finest works. The stance of the powerful thoroughbred - in half rear - emphasises the calm nature and courage of the Princess. Francisca of Brazil (1824-98) married a son of Louis Philippe I, the King of the French, and had three children. Born at the Imperial Palace of Saint Christopher, her youngest brother was the future Pedro II...
