The Great Fire of London in September 1666 was one of the greatest disasters in the city’s history. The City, with its wooden houses crowded together in narrow streets, was a natural fire risk, and predictions that London would burn down became a shocking reality. The fire began in a bakery in Pudding Lane, an area near the Thames teeming with warehouses and shops full of flammable materials, such as timber, oil, coal, pitch and turpentine. Inevitably the fire spread rapidly from this area into the City. Our painting depicts the impact of the fire on those who were caught in it and creates a very dramatic impression of what the fire was like. Closer inspection reveals a scene of chaos and panic with people running out of the gates. It shows Cripplegate in the north of the City, with St Giles without Cripplegate to its left, in flames (on the site of the present day Barbican). The painting probably represents the fire on the night of Tuesday 4 September, when four-fifths of the City was burning at once, including St Paul's Cathedral. Old St Paul’s can be seen to the right of the canvas, the medieval church with its thick stone walls, was considered a place of safety, but the building was covered in wooden scaffolding as it was in the midst of being restored by the then little known architect, Christopher Wren and caught fire. Our painting seems to depict a specific moment on the Tuesday night when the lead on St Paul’s caught fire and, as the diarist John Evelyn described: ‘the stones of Paul’s flew like grenades, the melting lead running down the streets in a stream and the very pavements glowing with the firey redness, so as no horse, nor man, was able to tread on them.’ Although the loss of life was minimal, some accounts record only sixteen perished, the magnitude of the property loss was shocking – some four hundred and thirty acres, about eighty per cent of the City proper was destroyed, including over thirteen thousand houses, eighty-nine churches, and fifty-two Guild Halls. Thousands were homeless and financially ruined. The Great Fire, and the subsequent fire of 1676, which destroyed over six hundred houses south of the Thames, changed the appearance of London forever. The one constructive outcome of the Great Fire was that the plague, which had devastated the population of London since 1665, diminished greatly, due to the mass death of the plague-carrying rats in the blaze. The fire was widely reported in eyewitness accounts, newspapers, letters and diaries. Samuel Pepys recorded climbing the steeple of Barking Church from which he viewed the destroyed City: ‘the saddest sight of desolation that I ever saw.’ There was an official enquiry into the causes of the fire, petitions to the King and Lord Mayor to rebuild, new legislation and building Acts. Naturally, the fire became a dramatic and extremely popular subject for painters and engravers. A group of works relatively closely related to the present picture have been traditionally ascribed to Jan Griffier...

“Back from the prairie” 36 x 36 inches is a one-of-a-kind original, modern, landscape impressionist painting by Juanita Bellavance. In this highly expressive abstract work, Juanita combined earthy browns and green tones with navy blue and neutral whites. In the nature-inspired painting the viewer is invited into an experience of moving from desolation to a refreshing sense of spring. About the artist: Juanita Bellavance uses her mastery of color and technique to create abstract landscape impressionism and abstract expressionist paintings. Having previously majored in music with a focus on performance, Juanita enjoys the freedom abstract forms of modern music and abstract art provide. She wanted to go beyond recording the obvious. The subject has changed but the depth of emotion remains. As with music that comes from the heart and moves the soul, her intention to create emotional impact remains the same. Her paintings are a visual removal of chaos and disorder to quieten the noise of the environment. There is a deep desire to create an instant of pause and connection such that a feeling is experienced. There are layers of history within each painting that lingers on the surface, leaving a richness beyond the obvious. "In college, I once went to an Atlanta Symphony concert where there was a guest vocal soloist. She performed a modern piece where she used her voice to make the piano strings vibrate and sound as part of the melody. She held the entire audience spellbound. Throughout the performance, you could have heard a pin drop. She did it with such mastery and it was so unexpected to hear something that stellar at that point in my life that I leaped to my feet to applaud at the end. I almost never gave standing ovations...
