Add to basketfarbige Reproduktion auf charmoisfarbenen Büttenkarton mit dekorativ abgesetztem Plattenrand, bildliche Darstellung ca. 14 x 10,5 cm, Kartongröße ca. 27,5 x 23,5 cm, (jeweils Höhe x Breite), fast neuwertig erhalten und selten - Das berühmte Bild von Watts gilt als eines der bahnbrechenden Werke des "Symbolismus". Hope hält ihr O…hr an die letzte Saite ihrer fast zerstörten Harfe. Das 1885 gemalte Bild war schon kurz nach seiner Entstehung so begehrt, dass Watts eine Kopie seines eigenen Werkes anfertigte und das erste Gemälde zerstörte. Er schenkte die Kopie, die sich heute im Victoria and Albert Museum befindet, 1897 dem britischen Volk, was ihn nicht daran hinderte, weitere Kopien seines eigenen Werkes anzufertigen. Das Bild erreichte noch größere Berühmtheit, als bekannt wurde, dass der US-amerikanische Präsident Theodore Roosevelt eine Kopie in seiner New Yorker Wohnung hängen hatte. - "This is one of the earliest of the great morality pictures by which Watts earned his fame. Describing these, he said, "All my pictures are symbolical and for all time. Their symbolism is, however, more suggestive than worked out in detail." He goes on: "I want to make people think. My intention has not been so much to paint pictures that will charm the eye as to suggest great thoughts that will appeal to the imagination and the heart, and kindle all that is best and noblest in humanity." Hope illustrates the power of these pictures to make people think. The blinded figure, seated on the sphere with her broken lyre, is bending her ear to catch what music she may produce from the last remaining string. She cannot see the star shining above her; one by one the sweet notes of music have been taken from her, but still she sits, bowed but not broken, plucking with tender fingers whatever melody she may from the last string of those that gave her the full harmonies of beauty. She has no vision either of the star above or of the world of darkness and gloom below. Her attitude of dejection almost rejects the conventional idea that there is happiness to be found when everything seems lost, but the picture suggests the larger hope of the world that there is peace and light above the turmoil and sorrow of the earth. [G.K. Chesterton, "Famous Paintings", New York: Funk & Wagnalls Company 1913]. 1100 gr.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Frontispiece, 210 pp, 1 leaf; 40 illus. Original decorated cloth, top edge gilt, large 8vo. Very Good. 'G. F. Watts was one of the major artistic figures of the nineteenth century. In this work published in 1905, only a year after Watts' death, Emilie Barrington (18411933)… reflects on the close friendship she and her husband had with the renowned artist. Her aim in writing her volume of reminiscences was to accurately record her knowledge of Watts' life. She describes her first impressions, when she first met him in Dante Gabriel Rossetti's studio. Chapters also cover Watts' aims as an artist, his relationships and his genius. This fascinating book is highly illustrated throughout, including Watts' sketches, symbolical paintings and portraits. The reader will gain an intriguing insight into the life and work of this complex character, widely considered to be the greatest painter of the Victorian age' (Cambridge University Press Web site).

Contact seller5-star seller[2 pp]. 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches. Painter and sculptor George Frederic Watts (1817-1904) enrolled at the Royal Academy when he was 18 years old, and started exhibiting there a few years later. Associated with the Symbolic movement, his works were often allegorical, and include: "Sir Galahad" ; "Orpheus And Eurydice" ; "The Judgement… of Paris" ; "The Wounded Heron" ; and "The Minotaur." He was elected as an Academician to the Royal Academy in 1867, and was among the original members of the new Order of Merit. The Watts Gallery, located in Compton, is dedicated to his works Two brief, undated letters, written on small 1 pp. bifoliums, and signed by Watts: [1] To [?] Sassoon: "I don't know how to thank you so can't attempt, but beg you to believe. " [2] To Hamo [Thornycroft]: "I am unavoidably prevented from coming before lunch but I will come about 3 if possible. And I am however very unwell today & may have to bed suddenly but I hope not & will come as I say if possible." William Hamo Thornycroft (1850-1925) was an English sculptor and part of the Thornycroft family, a notable English family of sculptors, artists and engineers, who were related by marriage to the Sassoon family, known as "Rothschilds of the East" whose best know member was Siegfried Sassoon, whose mother was a Thornycroft. Neither letter indicates a location, but they were likely written from London or the village of Compton, near Surrey. Very good, pin holes along top edge, faint soiling.

"A particularly significant portrait was of the 23 year old Hannah de Rothschild painted in 1874, four years before her marriage to Lord Rosebery.… The small portrait (it was only 10×12) gave Lord Rosebery such pleasure that, after Hannah's early death in 1890, he told Watts that he carried it wherever he moved as he could not bear to be parted from it; b. Hannah Primrose, Countess of Rosebery (née de Rothschild; 27 July 1851 19 November 1890) was the daughter of Baron Mayer de Rothschild and his wife Juliana (née Cohen)."; c. During the final quarter of the 19th century, her husband, the Earl of Rosebery, was one of the most celebrated figures in Britain, an influential millionaire and politician, whose charm, wit, charisma and public popularity gave him such standing that he "almost eclipsed that of Royalty". The Countess remains an enigmatic figure, and is often regarded as notable only for financing her husband's three ambitions: to marry an heiress, win The Derby, and become Prime Minister (the second and third of these possibly apocryphal ambitions were achieved after her death). In truth, she was her husband's driving force and motivation." [Wikipedia].
