Peter Monamy
Peter Monamy was born in London in 1681 to Pierre Monamy from Guernsey and Dorothy Gilbert. At the age of 15, he was apprenticed to William Clark, Master of the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers who provided interior decorations including paintings on paneling, overmantels and murals. Many of his paintings were displayed in the shop window. He succeeded the business upon Clark’s death and began specializing in marine scenes. He seems to have spent time in Ireland and then Plymouth painting commissions for marine and naval scenes. During the early 1720s, he settled in Westminster taking a studio there and established himself as London's pre-eminent marine painter. Monamy specialized in naval vessels at sea, usually Man-of-War ships off the British coast and often included forts or castles in his paintings. Examples of his works are held by the Glasgow Museum, Jersey Museum, National Maritime Museum, National Trust, University of Greenwich, Victoria & Albert Museum and The Wilson.

The present work is a spectacular jewel-like canvas by Amigoni, rich in delicate pastel colors, most likely a modello for an altarpiece either lost or never painted. In it the Madonna stands firmly upon a cloud in the heavens, her Child resting on a delicate veil further supported by a cloud, as he gently wraps his arm around his mother’s neck. From above angels prepare to lower flowers and a wreath, while other angels and seraphim surrounding the two joyfully cavort.

Woman in a Red Dress, Mid Century Female Illustrator/ Artist, Elizabeth Taylor ?
By Gladys Rockmore Davis
Located in Miami, FL
Mid-century female illustrator/artist Gladys Rockmore Davis paints a compelling portrait of a contemplative beauty who looks like Elizabeth Taylor. Frontal and lateral forces work together in this pyramidal composition. The sitter stares down at the viewer creating a frontal tension. Her hypnotic gaze is counterbalanced by the lateral movement of her crossed hands and triggers an emotional response. Gladys Rockmore Davis is both a work-for-hire illustrator and a fine artist- She was an illustrator for clients such as Upjohn, Munsingwear, Elgin Watches, and Johnson & Johnson. Davis had a show at the prestigious Midtown Gallery and Babcock Gallery in New York. She studied at the California School of Fine Arts, Art Institute of Chicago, and Art Students League. William R.
