About the Item
Imogen Mary Collier (1873-1952)
Portrait of Jerry and Dot
Circa. 1895-1900
Oil on Canvas
49 X 42.5
Imogen Mary Collier (1873-1952) was born in 1873 at Whitchurch, Devon, England. She was the daughter of Mortimer John Collier and Sophia Luddington Whipple. Known by the family as Dena, she lived her life in the family home “Foxhams” built by her father some years before in Horrabridge on the edge of Dartmoor. The family included painters of note, one of her uncles was A.B. Collier a well known West Country artist and another The Honourable John Collier, a painter and writer on art. Further her mother’s friend was Lady Elizabeth Butler, (painter of Scotland for Ever and other well known paintings), so surrounded as she was by artists and horses it is not surprising that her life followed a certain course. Dena’s mother Sophy was known to drive a trap, of unspecified type, with some skill and speed around the local district and the stud at Foxhams was thought to have come into being in 1888 when Dena was about fifteen. Later Collier studied art at the well known school founded by Mr. W. Frank Calderon, (son of Philip R.A.) The School of Animal Painting, in Baker Street, which no longer exists. His best known painting was the, Horse Fair (Royal Academy 1894). A fellow student at the school was Lionel Edwards. Collier carried off two art scholarships, (details are unknown), but she is believed to have spent some time in Paris where the family say she knew Gwen John, sister to Augustus John. She also journeyed to Egypt and India, leaving paintings of camels as well as ponies to be enjoyed. Collier had two painting’s hung in the Royal Academy: 1899 In the Old Barn and 1904 Rocket - weight-carrying hunter at grass. Further she painted two presentation pictures, one of the late Mr Masheter, Master of the Essex Hunt and one of the late Mr Penn Sherbrook, Master of the Synington (Yorks) Hunt. She also painted several famous racing ponies for Baroness Burton of Douchfour Inverness.

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...

Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641)
No painter has done more to define an era than Anthony van Dyck. He spent only seven and a half years of his short life (1599- 1641) in England. He grew up in Antwerp, where his precocious talent was recognised by Peter Paul Rubens, the greatest painter of his age. He worked in Rubens’s studio and imitated his style as a religious artist, painting biblical scenes redolent of the lush piety of the counter-reformation. But soon he was on the move. In 1620, he visited London for a few months, long enough to paint a history picture, The Continence of Scipio, for the royal favourite, George Villiers, Marquess of Buckingham, and a portrait of his other English patron, the great art collector, Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel.
After a stint in Italy, making imposing portraits of the wealthy aristocracy and sketching and copying works by Titian, he returned to the Spanish Netherlands in 1627, becoming court artist to Archduchess Isabella before departing for The Hague in 1631 to paint the Dutch ruler Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange. Charles I’s invitation in 1632 led Van Dyck back to London where he was knighted, paid an annual salary of £200 and installed in a house in Blackfriars with a special jetty at which the royal barge might tie up when the King was visiting his studio. By this time Van Dyck was recognised as the leading court painter in Europe, with Velazquez at the court of Philip IV of Spain his only rival. He also excelled as a superbly observant painter of children and dogs.
Van Dyck’s notoriety in depicting children led to the introduction of groups of children without their parents as a new genre into English painting (amongst other new genres).
For the next 300 years, Van Dyck was the major influence on English portraiture. Nearly all the great 18th Century portraitists, from Pompeo Batoni and Allan Ramsay to Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds, copied Van Dyck’s costumes, poses and compositions.
George Duke of Buckingham & his brother Francis Villiers
Painted in 1635, this double portrait was originally commissioned by Charles I, who raised the two brothers after their father, George Villiers, was assassinated in 1628. Together with their sister, Lady Mary Villiers, they enjoyed the King’s favour absolutely. Francis whose absolute ‘inimitable handsomeness’ was noted by Marvell (who was killed in a skirmish near Kingston upon Thames). The young duke who commanded a regiment of horse at the Battle of Worcester, remained closely associated with Charles II, held a number of high offices after the Restoration and was one of the most cynical and brilliant members of the King’s entourage, immortalised as ‘Zimri’ in Dryden’s Absalom and Achitopbel. As a young man he had sold his father’s great collection of pictures in the Spanish Netherlands, many of them to the Archduke Leopold Willhelm.
Painted for Charles I and placed near the portrait of their sister in the Gallery at St James’ Palace. The handling of both costumes is very rich, and the heads are very carefully and sensitively worked. That of the younger boy in particular is more solidly built up than the lower part of the figure. A preparatory drawing for the younger boy is in the British Museum.
There are copies at, e.g., Highclere Castle...
