Two gouache paintings by de Simone of ‘Latona’

About the Item

Two gouache paintings by de Simone of ‘Latona’ , one showing the gaffe rigged yawl, in clam seas flying the Royal Thames Yacht Club burgee, the other showing her with reduced canvas in heavy weather. English, circa 1880. Footnotes: Antonio de Simone (1851-1907) was the son of the Italian seaport oil painter Tommaso de Simone. Antonio worked in watercolour and gouache, specialising in capturing nearly all the great society yachts of the period as they visited Naples. Owners commissioned these portraits as their vessels lay at anchor under Mount Vesuvius. Latona was a yawl belonging to G.E. Wood from London, with sails by Ratsey and Lapthorn, registered in the Lloyds Yacht Register of 1886-7.

A pair of sand pictures by Benjamin Zobel after paintings by de Loutherbourg
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
These extraordinary ‘paintings’ were created using coloured grains of sand rather than paints. Each is after an original painting by Philip James de Loutherbourg. The first scene shows the Battle of Hastings with a central mounted figure, presumably William the Conqueror, with a red plume in his helmet, raising his sword against a fighter on foot. A printed version of this image, shown above, was made by William Bromley. (See the British Museum registration number 1858,1009.115 for a fine impression.) The second scene, composed with a similar central mounted knight with a raised axe (sword in the original) represents Richard the Lionheart in combat against Saladin at the Battle of Acre. In this case the print was made by Anker Smith...
