About the Item

Leighton Hall Woollatt Sculpture Gallery with Madonna and Child 1905 - 1974 Oil on canvas, signed, titled 'Painting of a Antique Cast' from the Royal Academy Schools and dated '28 June 1929'. Image size: 30 x 20 inches (48.5 x 30.5 cm) Contemporary frame In this painting, Woollatt captures Bruges Madonna ca.1505 from the RA collections. The stoic stone sculpture is depicted in a cold yet intimate composition, featuring the Madonna and child. Woollatt masterfully pronounces every crease and fold of her dress, capturing the sculpture's exact likeness. The work emphasises the neutral, cool tones and meticulously details both the sculpture and the surrounding room, transporting us into the Royal Academy. Leighton Hall Woollatt Leighton Hall Woollatt (1905-1974) was an esteemed English sculptor and artist born in Nottingham. He was the son of lithograph artist Edgar Woollatt. Pursuing his studies at Nottingham College of Art, the Royal Academy schools as well as Chelsea Polytechnic, Woollatt garnered recognition through numerous scholarships and awards. Woollatt’s prolific career included teaching at various art schools across Britain and exhibited his works at the Royal Academy of Arts, Art Council shows and at provincial galleries. As an official War artist during World War II, Woollatt produced significant war paintings now housed at the Exeter Records Office. Known for his decorative panels, portraits and topographical subjects, he also completed notable mural works in Nottingham and at the Bank of England. Woollatt spent his later years in Budleigh Salterton, Devon, continuing his artistic pursuits until his death in 1974.
