"Christopher Hewetson and his monument to Dr. Baldwin in Trinity College, Dublin", Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland (December 1947): 134-135.</span></p><div abp="112" style="text-align: center;"><div abp="3006"><p class="MsoNormal">Here transcribed from the article by Katherine Esdaile.</p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">A Copy of Whitaker's History of Whalley, which once belonged to B. H. Beaumont (who supplied Whitaker with some of his information) proved to contain various loose notes about Christopher Hewetson, as well as a long passage relating to that sculptor's life and his important monument to Provost Baldwin1 in Trinity College, Dublin.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">The relevant entries were courteously communicated by the owner of the volume in question, and as that dealing with the Baldwin Monument has a special interest for Dublin, publication in Ireland (prior to inclusion in a forthcoming Dictionary of British Sculptors) seemed advisable.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">In this particular entry Beaumont is clearly quoting an MS. of Hewetson's own written in 1793 and as accounts by an 18th century sculptor of one of his own works are exceedingly rare, it seems worth while to give it <span style="font-family: inherit;">verbatim et literatim. It occurs in Book VI page 49 of the above mentioned work,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">"Description of Dr. Baldwin's Monument, by Christopher Hewetson, the artist, who made it.?10th April, 1793.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">" The Marbles of which the monument are composed are as follows. The figures are Carrara Statuary Marble. The Base of the whole is that called here [in Italy] Africano and is only to be had now by cutting up fragments of ancient architecture. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The sarcophagus of a marble found at Porto Venere near Genova and goes by that name in Italy. The tablet for the inscription is called here Pietro Paragone, but is, I believe, ill-named. As yet no inscription has been put on this tablet or panel, but it was my direction that it should be cut in the stone and gilt, the better to harmonize with the yellow veins in the Porto Venere (golden vein called in England) and with the gilt-bronze ornaments placed on the sarcophagus.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">" The Piramid is of the Red Oriental Granit and makes a much better ground for the white figures than any other hitherto used for that purpose. N.B. I was the first who applied Granit to this use.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">" The subject of the monument is this: Dr. Baldwin having presided for many years over the College of Dublin as Provost, having during that time contributed towards the advancement of the salary by a strict attention to the duties of his charge, and likewise on his Death having left to the University £80,000 for the purpose of founding Professorships, I chose tomrepresent Dr. Baldwin as near his end, his Will dropping from his hand <span style="text-align: left;">whilst with the other [hand] and the expression of his head I endeavoured </span><span style="text-align: left;">to shew a reconciliation to Divine Will communicated to him by an angel.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">" This figure I have represented as if just descended and stepping towards [him] holding on high, in the left hand a crown composed of a branch of Olive and of a Palm Branch, whilst with his right hand, and stooping forward, he points to the crown, as a promise to the dying man of a reward of his virtues.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">" The third figure in this group is that of a Muse, the Simbol of Science, supporting her Benefactor and lamenting the near approach of his end."</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">So far very little has been known of Hewetson. According to Strickland (Dictionary of Irish Artists Dublin, 18913. he was the son of Christopher Hewetson of Kilkenny, born about 1739, and of such exceptional artistic abilities that he was sent by his friends to study in Rome where he stayed for the rest of his life. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">But apart from stating that he received £1,000 for executing the Baldwin monument in Rome c.1771-82, that it cost £416 to transport, and arrived in Dublin in 1784,</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Strickland only mentions two other works?busts sent to the Academy Exhibitions in 1786 and 1790? and is uncertain of the year of death. Consequently even Beaumont's other casual notes are valuable. For instance, his reference to a bust of Prince Augustus (George Ill's son, the Duke of Sussex) and his dating of it to 1794, forms an addition to the very scanty list of Hewetson's known works. Again, about the commission (perhaps never executed) from the notorious Bishop, Earl of Bristol for " a colossal portrait of Mr. Pitt in marble," he relates that Hewetson, having just unsatisfactory engravings to go by, only undertook it " for the love of Bread and Cheese." </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Finally, Hewetson, says Beaumont, " died in 1798, partly of age and partly through anxiety caused by the French ravages in Italy, by which he suffered, absent from his native country 33 or 34 years. Buried near the tomb of Caivs Sestivs."</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;">"It will be found that these passages and my own investigations?e.g., about busts of the <u>Duke of Cumberland,</u> Charles Towneley and lost busts of Thomas Westfaling and of Gavin Hamilton?</span> add much to the information collected by Strickland. Certainly Hewetson was an accomplished artist <span style="font-family: inherit;">and fully deserved the praises of his fellow-artists in Rome".</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Katherine Esdaile</span></p></div></div>David Bridgwaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04271059837379672425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702151177689238318.post-50600597966032384472024-03-01T08:02:00.000-08:002024-03-06T11:18:43.772-08:00Hewetson (Part 32).

Yale 1996.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Footnotes in brackets.</p><p class="MsoNormal">1778—81 Rome (May 1778—early 1781) [Germany by Feb. 1781] <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>On 4 June 1778 Lady Mary Coke was told that 'Mr Beauclerke,
Lady Catherine and Mr Brand [Thomas Brand, d. 1794] were gone together abroad,
being so in debt they found it troublesome staying at home'.(l).</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lady Catherine had committed a 'little indiscretion' to which
her father asked Beauclerk to attend, (2) doubtless her relationship with Brand (who had left a wife
and children behind in England). </p><p class="MsoNormal">They took with them their eldest daughters,
Catherine (d. 1803) and Caroline (d. 1838).</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They were in Rome by May 1778, where their eldest son Aubrey
(1765—1815, later 6th Duke of St Albans) joined them, (3). and Thomas Bowdler
noticed them there in November. (4 ).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They were to spend nearly three years in Rome, during which
they were active as collectors. In September 1779 they sent home 'diversi
marmori consistenti nella maggior parte in restauri moderni' (and Brand sent back
eight marble columns at the same time and a further consignment of marble fragments,
a vase and two modern mosaic pictures on 11 April 1780).(5) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Smuglewicz painted two family portraits (Christie's, 23 Jun.
1978, (6) and Cheltenham AG), the first with a view of Castel
Gandolfo, where the Beauclerks rented apartments through the summer of 1779. (7).</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was probably James Byres who suggested this commission;
Smuglewicz had painted the Byres family and the 1790 inventory of Byres's house listed
a portrait of Mr Beauclerk by [Solomon] Williams and an engraving of Lady Catherine
Beauclerk. (8)</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Busts of Aubrey and Lady Catherine have been attributed to Christopher Hewetson (Christie's, 9 Jul. 1979). (9).</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> In February 1779 Lady
Catherine organised a raffle for the marble relief of Alcyone and Ceyx by
Thomas Banks, (10) apparently to aid the sculptor on his return journey to England,
see Banks. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Beauclerks left Rome with the Irish painter Solomon
Delane; they were in Germany by February 1781, (11) and reached England at the
end of August. (12) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Their return may have been prompted by Baron Vere (who d. 2 October
1781) although, according to Lady Mary Coke, they had had no intention of returning
while he was alive. (13)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Thomas Brand remained
abroad thinking it 'more proper not to arrive in England at the same time'. (13).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As 5th Duke of St Albans, Aubrey Beauclerk sold a large part
of his collection on 8/9 June 1798 to finance the rebuilding of Hanworth; the
sale catalogue described the works as 'collected during a long residence at
Rome, and other parts of the Continent' and included marbles from Centocelle, a
Farnese Hercules restored by Albacini, several bronzes by Zoffoli, and
paintings by Marco Ricci, Marieschi, and Delane. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>

(1740-1802), later 5th Duke of St. Albans, and his family including his eldest
son Aubrey (1765-1815, later 6th Duke of St. Albans), who joined his parents in
Rome in May 1778, and their two eldest daughters, Catherine (d. 1803) and
Caroline (d. 1838).<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">On 4th June 1778, Lady Mary Lowther noted in a letter to
Lady Mary Coke that 'Mr Beauclerk, Lady Catherine and Mr Brand were gone
together abroad, being so in debt they found it troublesome staying at home'.
Their trip abroad may have been arranged to try to escape the rumours of an
affair between Lady Catherine and Thomas Brand. The Beauclerks spent almost
three years in Rome during which time Smuglevicz painted them twice. One of
these portraits is the present work, which depicts the family before the Castel
Gandolfo where they rented apartments for the summer of 1779. The other
portrait (now in Cheltenham Art Gallery) shows the family in the Roman campagna
with an aqueduct in the background.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The attribution of the present painting to Smuglevicz was
first suggested by Francis Russell in his Burlington Magazine article in 1978.
His attribution was in turn based on that established by Brinsley Ford for his
Portrait of James Byres and his family and also for that of the Portrait of
James Byres and his family in an interior now in the Scottish National Portrait
Gallery, Edinburgh. The present painting compares very well with these two
works both in the distinctive, subdued palette and in the meticulous treatment
of the drapery, particularly that of Lady Catherine's dress.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Franciszek Smuglevicz moved from his native Warsaw to Rome
in 1763 where he trained with Anton von Maron. It may well have been through
the latter that Smugelvicz met James Byres, the antiquary, art dealer and
cicerone for many British Grand Tourists in Rome. Byres himself commissioned
two portraits from the Polish painter, as detailed above, and he is certainly
known to have introduced other tourists to Smuglevicz (for example, he recorded
payment to the artist on behalf of Philip Yorke, later 3rd Earl of Hardwicke,
for a double portrait of Yorke and his Swiss tutor, Colonel Wittestein, most
probably the work offered at Christie's, London, 16 April, 1982, lot 16). Very
few works by Smuglevicz are known and it is surprising that, given his clear
connection with James Byres, he is not known to have executed more commissions
of this type for British Grand Tourists in Rome during his 20 year stay in the
city.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Saleroom notices -<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">

line-height: 17.12px;">Christopher Hewetson executed a bust of John Campbell when he first visited Rome in 1784. The first version is kept at Cawdor Castle in Nairnshire, Scotland (Roscoe, p. 611). This other almost identical version is characterized by the absence of the signature, but of similarly good quality. We know from Hewetson that he executed busts several times and then did not necessarily sign them, as is guaranteed for the bust of Pope Clement XIV. The marble bust of Mrs. von Kniphausen is also unsigned.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">John Campbell, who later became the first Baron Cawdor of Castlemartin, was an Italophile and traveled to Italy several times in his life and became, for example, the first British patron of Antonio </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Canova. He ordered some of his most excellent works from the sculptor, such as “Cupido and Psyche” (Louvre, Paris, inv. no. MR 1777) or “Hebe” (Chatsworth, Trustees of the Devonshire Settlement).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">By the early 19th century he was one of Britain's largest landowners, owning both the vast estates of Stackpole Court and Golden Grove in Wales and Cawdor Castle in Scotland. However, Campbell suffered from financial worries and in 1800 was forced to sell much of his art collection, including the Lante Vase, now in Woburn Abbey. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Canova spoke of Campbell in a letter to Mengs in June 1787: “My head is still full of the good times that the Colonel [Campbell] gave me, God bless him, and I will never forget him, come what may. If it is true that friendship and gratitude can lift a man's spirits, then when I pick up my chisel to work for the colonel, I will work better than I have ever worked, and perhaps better than I will ever work for anyone else” (quoted in Davis, p. 50).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Campbell first visited Rome in 1784, and it is believed that Hewetson created the first version of his portrait at this time, as Campbell attended an event with Thomas Giffard, whose portrait was created the same year. In 1786-1787 he returned to Rome. It seems logical that Campbell could have commissioned the present bust on this second visit.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Lord Sudley had arrived in Florence by 10 Jan- uary 1767,
and on the 24th he had been presented to the Grand Duke.l <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">He is next recorded at Naples on 15 November 1768.2 He was
travelling with his first wife, very probably for the sake of her health, and
she was to be remembered in Naples for her 'humanity, generosity, and every
virtue'. (3). They were in Florence in October and November 1769, and after
passing the winter at Pisa were briefly back in Florence in March 1770. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Lady Sudley was a favourite with the Grand Duchess in Florence,
wrote Horace Mann, 'though she left off when she pleased, and even refused the royal
invitation when engaged to another party'. (4). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">She sat to Hewetson for an undated marble bust (prive coll.)
and, with her husband, to Batoni for a portrait dated 1769 (Clark/Bowron 335; priv. coll.). Lady Sudley died
in Dublin, soon after their return, on 23 November 1770 ( CP). <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Johann Zoffany whilst in Florence included him in his painting the Tribuna at the Ufizzi (now in Windsor Castle). (Plymouth is third from the left.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Plymouth was seen in Naples in the summer and again in
Florence by 13 June.(3)</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">He arrived in Venice
with 'Giuseppe Dilon' on 16 September,4 and was back in London to take his seat
in the Lords by February.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Lord Plymouth married his first cousin the Honourable Sarah,
daughter of Andrew Archer, 2nd Baron Archer, on 20 May 1778.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">He returned to Italy in 1791 with his wife, Sarah, and two
children, Lord Windsor later 6<sup>th</sup> Earl (1789 – 1833) and Lady Maria (1790
– 1855).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">They appear to have stayed for five years, principally
in Rome and Naples.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Lord Plymouth was not in good health. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">They arrived in Rome in November 1791,6 and were in Naples
by February 1792, when Lady Plymouth was one of the English ladies with whom
Prince Augustus was consorting? (the others being Lady Malmesbury and Mrs
Heneage Legge).(7)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"> In January 1793 Lady
Palmerston described Lady Plymouth as good humoured, unaffected and pleasant
(8.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">The more remarkable as her husband's health and sight were
both declining. She gave a ball at Naples 9 March 1793 (9) and on the 16<sup>th</sup>
of April she received a slim volume, Figure Originale, from Carlo Labruzzi
(coll.Brinsley Ford). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">According to Lady Webster (who was a close friend) Lord
Berwick had become very attached to Lady Plymouth by May 1793, but early in
1794 he was treating her with disrespect. (10)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"> In January 1794 in
the course of a smallpox epidemic in Naples, 'to which 7,000 infants have
fallen victims', one of Plymouths' infant boys died. (11) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Lady Plymouth was back in Rome by March 1794, when Angelica
Kauffman painted the two children. (12)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"> On 6 July 1794 it was
reported from Rome that though Lady Plymouth had lost a son, she was in a fair
way of replacing him soon; her husband however, was 'in a very bad way, for he
is very near blind, and his legs are so swelled that it is thought he is going
into a dropsy'. (13) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Lady Plymouth held a ball for Prince Augustus in Rome in
February 1795, at which the assembly (and in particular Robert Fagan) did not
measure up to Lady Knight's proper expectations. (14) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">During the summer they were at Bologna where, Lady Knight
recorded. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Lady Plymouth next attracted marked attention from William
Pitt Amherst; 'Mr Amherst does all the leading honours to the lady, but I hear,
fears his honoured uncle [whose title he would inherit] should know it'. (15)</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">They were again in Rome in August 1795 with Colonel Dillon,
Amherst and the Prince as the 'only English society'. (16) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">By December they but had moved to Naples, where it was reported
that Lord Plymouth was 'almost blind and but small hopes are entertained of his eye-sight being restored; the conjugal attachment and
attention of his amiable lady is the subject of general conversation'. (17)</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Then Amherst 'was
still at Anchor at Plymouth' and, she continued, 'if Ld P's eyes begin to open <o:p></o:p><span style="text-align: center;">perhaps he may be surprised to see her Ladyship's shape so
enlarged', (18)</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><i>Reading between the lines here suggests to me that Lord
Plymouth might not have been the father of their second daughter.<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Shortly afterwards the Plymouths returned to England,
passing through Padua on 30 March en route for Venice. (19). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Their second daughter Harriet (1797 - 1867) was christened in London in September
1797. Lord Plymouth died aged 48 on 12 June 1799, and Lady Plymouth married Amherst on
24 July 1800.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Footnotes.</p>

‘Raphaele del nostro secolo’. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Among Mengs’s clients were
kings, princes, popes and cardinals. </p><p class="MsoNormal">He was active in Dresden and Madrid, and
above all in Rome, where he assembled one of the largest collections of plaster
casts of classical sculpture. Serving primarily as a source of study material
for young artists, the collection could also be viewed by aristocratic and
learned visitors to the city.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> Almost nine hundred of these casts were acquired
by Elector Frederick Augustus III for Dresden in 1782, of which nearly five
hundred are still extant today. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mengs
left a legacy to King Ferdinand VI of Spain more than a hundred casts that he had in his workshops in Rome and Florence, now in </span></span>the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, Madrid.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">-----------------------</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Don Jose Nicola d'Azara, Spanish Ambassador at Rome.</span></div><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;">Friend of Mengs,</div><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;">ChristopherHewetson.</div><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;">1779.</div><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;">One of two versions of this bronze.</div><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div abp="3006" style="text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Azara - "while Mengs was painting a painting commissioned by the king, I was present with Mr. Hewetson, skilled Sculptor, who modeled my portrait under the direction of Mengs himself."</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGUStZ_xP0SL0yWWEqzOYc0HZypXjx2I_t9mCRwRynOqsROMyfOdszGbHPZDxLroGe7HvvoN6lHuSEj5Lp2ahSvizFSQkwk6dU0n4uT3dn5eG5tcsuoHX4iIFTEaAAzv9yrciXfCsNAW9bNWbNCG0PENdv6WZaohLIXj1v4iwrnLyFY8d1moF9jzHvRase/s681/Jose%20Nicolas%20de%20Azara%20(1731-1805).jpg" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="681" data-original-width="477" height="979" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGUStZ_xP0SL0yWWEqzOYc0HZypXjx2I_t9mCRwRynOqsROMyfOdszGbHPZDxLroGe7HvvoN6lHuSEj5Lp2ahSvizFSQkwk6dU0n4uT3dn5eG5tcsuoHX4iIFTEaAAzv9yrciXfCsNAW9bNWbNCG0PENdv6WZaohLIXj1v4iwrnLyFY8d1moF9jzHvRase/w685-h979/Jose%20Nicolas%20de%20Azara%20(1731-1805).jpg" width="685" /></a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">useful website - Winckelman and Spain - Azara.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u>https://letteraturaartistica.blogspot.com/2019/06/johann-joachim-winckelmann.html</u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><br /></span><p></p>David Bridgwaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04271059837379672425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-702151177689238318.post-34360049569484322012024-02-22T04:01:00.000-08:002024-02-22T13:03:59.612-08:00The Hewtson Monuments.

Grand Warden of the Crown, and Teofila, née Cetnar, founder of the Tulczyn
branch of the Potocki family in the Hetman line.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"> He was Voivode of Kiyv, one of
the richest magnates in Poland. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The marble bust of Franciszek Salezy Potocki
was made around 1782 in Rome by sculptor Christopher Hewetson
(ca. 1736 - 1798), who belonged to the artistic circle of Antonio Canova, the
most famous Italian sculptor of the Neoclassical period. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The bust was probably
commissioned from Hewetson by Potocki's son, Stanisław Szczęsny Potocki, who in
1781-1782 stayed with his wife Józefa Amalia, née Mniszech, in Italy, including
Rome.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18pt; text-align: left;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Potocki is portrayed in armour, with the Orders of White Eagle and Saint
Andrew. The bust was probably commissioned from Hewetson by Potocki's son,
Stanisław Szczęsny Potocki, who in 1781-1782 stayed with his wife Józefa
Amalia, née Mniszech, in Italy, including Rome. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hewetson based the sculpture on
a copper engraving made in 1782 by Domenic Cunego, based on a portrait of
Franciszek Salezy Potocki painted by Marceli Bacciarelli around 1766. </p><p class="MsoNormal">The
sculpture arrived at the Castle in Łańcut in 1923 and was bequeathed to Alfred
Potocki by his distant relative, Mikołaj Potocki, who died in Paris in 1921,
Franciszek Salezy Potocki’s great-grandson.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="goog_1768769034"><br /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

nickname. Venetian School. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Born 1720; died 1780. He was pupil of his uncle
Antonio Canal (Canaletto), with whom he seems to have been closely associated
in Venice, also probably for a short period in Rome (c. 1742), and then until
his (Bellotto's) final departure from Venice, in 1744. </p><p class="MsoNormal">After brief periods of
work in other Italian cities, he went, in 1747, to Dresden, where he became
court painter. For brief periods of activity he was in Vienna and Munich, and
finally he was very active in Warsaw, where he remained from 1767 until his
death. </p><p class="MsoNormal">From the beginning, the great influence in his development was that of
his uncle, from whom he is distinguishable by a more objective, realistic
presentation of his subjects. His contrasts of light and shadow are sharper
than Canaletto’s, his fusion of colors less subtle, and the general effect of
his views more panoramic and less atmospheric. Yet the quality of his paintings
reaches such a high plane that some of them – especially from his early,
Italian period – have until almost the present been catalogued among
Canaletto’s characteristic oeuvres.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Both the signature and composition class K1691 with an
architectural caprice now in the National museum, Warsaw, in which a splendid
figure in the costume of a Venetian nobleman has been identified as a portrait
of Bellotto himself.2 </p><p class="MsoNormal">The Warsaw picture, along with several other fanciful
architectural paintings, is believed to date from Bellotto's late Dresden
period. K1691 may be later, after the artist's establishment in Warsaw, in
1767. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">The figures here are in Polish costume, and the large man with arm akimbo
has been identified from an engraving as Count Franciscus Salesius Potocki,
while the young man in front may be his son, Stanislaus Felix, fifteen years of
age in 1767, who was to become more famous than his father, but as traitor to
Poland.</p><p class="MsoNormal">3 A pertinent stylistic parallel to the portraits in K1691 is offered by
those in the Election of Stanislaus Augustus, a large canvas in the
Nationalmuseum, Warsaw, painted by Bellotto in 1776/78.4 </p><p class="MsoNormal">Aside from K1691 and
the painting with the self-portrait referred to above, Bellotto painted a
considerable number of architectural caprices, often with compositions very
similar to K1691, views through an archway to a monumental stairway and a
columned hemicycle beyond, features that would seem to be based on the artist's
memories of architecture by such Roman artists as Bernini.5 </p><p class="MsoNormal">In K1691 Bellotto
has frankly copied his fountain sculpture from Bernini's Apollo and Daphne. </p><p class="MsoNormal">However fanciful his caprices may be, Bellotto usually studied his architecture
so carefully from actual buildings that his paintings were followed in the
restoration and rebuilding of Warsaw after the Second World War.6<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">(1) Catalogue by F. R. Shapley, 1961, no. 42, as Bellotto.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">(2) The Warsaw painting is reproduced by T. Borenius, in
Dedalo, vol. III, 1922, p. 103. See the recent discussion by W. Schumann, in
the catalogue of the Bellotto exhibition in Vienna, 1965, no. 43. The
identification of the portrait is noted by S. Lorentz in a letter of Nov. 16,
1955, to W. E. Suida.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">(3) These identifications were suggested by Lorentz (in the
letter cited in note 2, above), who kindly sent to the Kress Foundation a copy
of Cunego's engraving of a portrait of Potocki after a painting by Bacciarelli,
an Italian painter in Warsaw who encouraged Bellotto to take up residence
there. Dr. Lorentz comments that Potocki could have been easily included in a
painting by Bellotto, even before the artist came to Poland, since Potocki,
with his immense land holdings, had associations with the minister Brühl and
was often in Dresden. Cunego's engraving is dated 1781 (or 1782) but
Bacciarelli's portrait, Dr. Lorentz comments, was probably painted more than a
decade earlier.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">(4) Details of some of the portraits in the Election ... are

to Vienna, he reached an agreement with the imperial agents of Maria Theresa, who
offered him a lifetime income of 10,000 florins per year. On 26 July 1773 he

excellent in extemporaneous singing, and endowed with such extraordinary and
sublime ingenuity, that she is well worthy of the conspicuous honor of the
Capitoline Degree granted to her by the Sovereign Authority, for the greater
increase of Italian Good Letters, and to perpetuate glory of Arcadia and
Rome"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These are the words of the examiners of the Academy of
Arcadia who explained how worthy Maria Maddalena Morelli was of that poetic
coronation which until then had only been granted to Petrarca, Tasso and
Perfetti . On the other hand, Morelli had managed to conquer several rulers of
her time with her talent for poetry and above all for poetic improvisation .
She was then also admitted to the Arcadia Academy under the pseudonym of
Corilla Olimpica. A significant fact for an 18th century Italian woman who sacrificed
her married life for the love of poetry, abandoning her husband and son .<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">................................</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Sepulchral Monument for Poet Maria Maddalena Morelli<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">by Giuseppe Barberi (Architect) 1746 - 1809).</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Drawing</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Pen and brown ink, graphite.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">21.2 x 29.4 cms.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Image from the Smithsonian Institute.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.si.edu/object/sepulchral-monument-poet-maria-maddalena-morelli:chndm_1901-39-280">https://www.si.edu/object/sepulchral-monument-poet-maria-maddalena-morelli:chndm_1901-39-280</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">Note to New York Pub.

Judith Maria Lawes (d. 1798). Her family were seen by contemporaries as

not marry without the sovereign's consent. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Horace Walpole, described the duchess in 1771 as ‘extremely pretty, not handsome, very well made, with the most amorous eyes in the world and eyelashes a yard long’.

(1717-1779) by van Nost III was apparently reproduced in many copies and widely displayed in Barber's and Perruquier's (wig makers) shops but if this so then no examples appear to have survived - I am assuming that this would be a bear headed bust for displaying the products of the Perruquier.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Intriguingly there was a bust in the studio of Louis Francois Roubiliac drawn by the sculptor Joseph Nollekens which resembles a portrait of David Garrick without a wig. So far this is the only bust in the 7 Nollekens drawing that cannot be positively identified. There is a series of 7 drawings of by Nollekens now in the Harris Museum Preston.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">see my post - <a href="https://bathartandarchitecture.blogspot.com/2023/07/the-harris-museum-preston-drawings-of.html">https://bathartandarchitecture.blogspot.com/2023/07/the-harris-museum-preston-drawings-of.html</a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkiyMunBJp7BbrL7shcCoywFCCnKQhYZZWdiIhkyV8JpMSxQIe9XccfTDHVuzXBCPzzzJkApkmvh_W71u4cZqlmgrVV4JUIe_4FPlTPGyoZibUaCL2CjRBSgt_C4cvBwEgsvhr8PHb-t51tAe9ZdeNQaOcvB1D_9zQfZIog-J4XTG0EXj-4BVCU2Qbbh-s/s1200/LAN_HARR_PRSMG_P507-001%20Newton%20adj.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="968" height="499" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkiyMunBJp7BbrL7shcCoywFCCnKQhYZZWdiIhkyV8JpMSxQIe9XccfTDHVuzXBCPzzzJkApkmvh_W71u4cZqlmgrVV4JUIe_4FPlTPGyoZibUaCL2CjRBSgt_C4cvBwEgsvhr8PHb-t51tAe9ZdeNQaOcvB1D_9zQfZIog-J4XTG0EXj-4BVCU2Qbbh-s/w402-h499/LAN_HARR_PRSMG_P507-001%20Newton%20adj.jpg" width="402" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">The Harris Museum, Preston Nollekens drawing from the Roubiliac studio in 1762.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">This bust is definitely not Isaac Newton.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Following the death of
