About the Item

Bearded Man Framed, Collectors Wall Art Black Chalk On Paper Signed J. Parry CA . English 18th / 19th Century J. Parry, Head and Shoulders Of A Bearded Man. Signed on Verso. (parry was a famous 18th /19th Century Sculptor who exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1802-1839. Black Chalk on blue paper 17 ½” X 12” Framed 25” height, and 22” width. almost 3” thick Note on the back: This drawing is in the manner of Pietro De Pietri (1663-1716). See “Roman Drawings At Windsor Castle” Page 08-FIG.68. It is Possible That Parry Studied The Pietri Drawing At Windsor, & was Influenced By it. Joseph Parry (1756–1826) was a British painter and engraver. He was popularly known by his contemporaries as Old Parry to distinguish him from his sons James Parry (1795 – 1877) was a British painter and engraver and David Henry Parry, also artists. Parry had a significant role in the development of Manchester as a center of the arts due to both his mentorship of younger artists and his direct influence on their artistic styles, and he is often referred to as "the Father of Art in Manchester" (or variations thereon) by both his contemporaries and later historians By the 1820s, Manchester's art market had matured enough that dealers were bringing significant works from London and abroad to sell, and a generation of Manchester-based artists had emerged who felt that the city needed its own counterpart to London's Royal Academy and the Liverpool Academy of Art which could arrange regular exhibitions of new works as well as offer financial and fraternal support to artists in need. Parry's two youngest sons—James Parry and David Henry Parry—were both instrumental in the foundation of what would become the Royal Manchester Institution as part of the initial founding committee; the nickname "Old Parry" first appears around this time in response to his sons' emergence as artists in their own right, and the description of Parry as the "father of art" in the city is likely intended semi-literally. The Institution would go on to hold Manchester's first non-commercial exhibition of paintings in 1827, featuring works from all three Parrys, and their works would continue to be included in future exhibitions in Manchester well into the 19th century. This includes the selection of several works by Parry for the Peel Park Local Art Exhibition of 1857; he was described in the visitor's guide as "the father of the Lancashire school of art." Museums which today hold pieces by Parry in their collections include the Manchester Art Gallery, the British Museum, the Merseyside Maritime Museum, the Whitworth, the Lady Lever Art Gallery, the Salford Museum & Art Gallery, and the Shipley Art Gallery. Though a native of Liverpool, his most significant legacy was as "the Father of Art in Manchester," a title he was given by his contemporaries for his influence on the city's early artistic community.
