Conrad Martens, Charles Darwin in the Beagle’s Tender, Patagonia, Argentina wc
Located in Rancho Santa Fe, CA
PROVENANCE: Christie’s South Kensington, England, June 10, 1986; Maynards Auction, Vancouver, Canada, December 6, 1994.
This 19th cent wc depicts Charles Darwin in the Beagle’s Tender, Coastal Patagonia, Argentina.
The son of an English mother and the Austrian Consul General in London, Conrad Martens pursued a career in painting following his father’s death in 1816. From the age of sixteen he studied under landscape watercolourist Copley Fielding, absorbing the traditions of the English watercolour school and Joshua Reynolds’ theories on painting. In 1833 Martens joined the HMS Beagle on a scientific survey expedition at Montevideo, South America, as ship’s artist, replacing the ailing Augustus Earle. He befriended the ship’s naturalist, Charles Darwin, whose empirical observation of landscape forms and climatic conditions would influence Martens’ practice.
Martens left the Beagle in Valparaiso in 1834 and travelled to Australia via New Zealand and Tahiti, settling in Sydney in 1835 and setting up a studio in Pitt Street. Patronised by the colonial elite, he fulfilled many commissions for watercolours of the local landscape and Sydney Harbour, including Elizabeth Bay c1838, which features the grand neoclassical edifice of Elizabeth Bay House, built for the former colonial secretary...

Arthur Boyd Houghton - Victorian Oil Painting of Figures in an Interior
Located in London, GB
ARTHUR BOYD HOUGHTON
(1836-1875)
Sunday Afternoon
Signed l.l.: Houghton
Oil on canvas
Framed
20.5 by 25.5 cm., 8 by 10 in.
(frame size 30.5 by 34.5 cm., 12 by 13 ½ in.)
Provenance:
William Drummond;
Private collection.
Probably painted in 1864, the present work evokes the peaceful contentment of everyday family life, with its small scale further reinforcing the intimacy of the scene. It is one of a series of small intimate family scenes produced during this happy period of his life. A male figure, possibly the artist’s himself, slumbers in a chair, a handkerchief draped over his face whilst Susan, the artist’s young wife reads by the window. Their child, either Arthur or Georgina, plays on the floor with a discarded newspaper. The room is at 4 Adelaide Villas, St Mary’s Grove, Richmond, the house Arthur and Susan moved to shortly after their marriage in 1861. The chaise and window, with its pots of geraniums, also feature in the 1864 painting Coach and Horses (private collection) which depicts Susan, with her hair down, playing with Arthur and Georgina. A pot of daffodils placed beside the same geraniums in the present work suggest it may have been painted in the spring of that year. Such domestic bliss would shortly come to a tragic end when Susan died of pyaemia following the birth of their third child in June 1864.
Houghton was born in India, the son of a captain in the East India Company’s marine service. Both is father and older brother were accomplished military draughtsmen and he probably received early training from them. His family returned to England in the early 1850s and he began studies at Leigh’s and the Langham...

Il ponte dell´Ariccia, Ariccia and The Alban Hills
Located in Stockholm, SE
A beautifully painted en plein air view of
"Il ponte dell´Ariccia", Ariccia, and The Alban Hills by Joachim Ludwig Heinrich Daniel Bünsow (Kiel 1821-1910 Ebenda). Oil on paper laid on cardboard.
Bünsow received his training at the Royal Danish Art Academy from 1839 to 1848 with Johann Ludwig Lund and Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg. He then traveled to Dresden, where he joined Johan Christian Dahl's circle. A scholarship from the Copenhagen Academy enabled Bünsow to stay in Rome from 1853 to 1858 which is in the period when this painting was made. While Bünsow's early painterly work was based on the fine-toned and naturalistic style of his teachers, the landscapes he created in Italy were influenced by Louis Gurlitt and were more atmospheric and idealizing.
Fredrik Bünsow, the son of his brother, Joachim Johann Friedrich Bünsow, also a painter, became a wellknown industrialist and businessman in Stockholm, Sweden. Included in this post is a photo of the family palace that was built 1886-1888 and an interior photo with some other Bünsow paintings hanging on the walls. This painting has been in the Bunsow family until present day.
At the beginning of the 19th century, following some economic development, the local government started pushing the Papal State to make the Appian way safer, faster and more accessible. The only possible solution was to build bridges that would cross the Ariccian valley, the two valleys to reach Galloro and finally the ‘Vallone’ to overcome the slope and leave Colle Pardo behind on the way to Genzano.
Therefore, in order to adapt to the difference in altitude, in 1843 Pope Gregorius XVI had a six-arched bridge constructed. In the meanwhile, a new route of the Appian Way was being planned – equipped with two more bridges, the Saint Roch Bridge and another minor one, in addition to the large bridge to be built over the Ariccian ‘Vallone’. Construction did not stop with the Pope's death in 1846, and was completed by his successor Pius IX, who entrusted the Monumental Bridge project to an architect from Marche, Ireneo Aleandri, while the execution of the work was entrusted to Giuseppe Bertolini.
Work was completed in 1854 and is one of the most important engineering achievements of the 19th century: set on three orders of arches in elegant neoclassical style inspired by Roman art, the bridge is 59 metres high and 312 metres long. Two travertine columns were erected on both ends to recall the Roman milestones...
