Circle of John Martin, KL, HRSA
(1789-1854)
"CHRIST CRUCIFIED AT CALVERY WITH JERUSALEM BATHED IN LIGHT BEYOND"
oil on canvas (unstretched)
114.5 x 91cms; 45 x 35 3/4in., unframed.
NB:
The Crucifixion was a favourite subject for John Martin and he engraved it several times, perhaps the most important being the large mezzotint The Crucifixion of 1834 (CW91). In the mid-1840s Martin worked on preparatory studies of Biblical subjects that Michael Campbell in Darkness Visible, 2006 states display Martin's intention of creating a large collection of oil paintings as the 'focus of the last phase of his career'. Campbell writes that while there is evidence of a preliminary drawing from 1845 (Ruthven Todd Tracks in the Snow, 1946, pl. 37) 'no large oil painting of The Crucifixion is recorded' (Darkness Visible, p. 572).On the other hand, Thomas Balston in his John Martin: His Life & Works (1947) records that the Earl of Durham, who bought several of Martin's works, owned an oil with this title, since lost. There is a preliminary drawing for the subject in the Dyce Collection at the V & A which may refer to this lost painting. Interestingly, whereas the Todd drawing shows the physical Crucifixion on the right of the composition with an architectural perspective on the left, this Dyce version appears to feature the city of Jerusalem on the right as the Inventory entry for John Martin states:Two studies by John Martin, are important, one as being a sketch for his large picture at Eingham (?), Durhamcontinuing:The high towers of Jerusalem on the right; from an opening in the clouds forked lightning is flashing; a group of terrified women in the foreground. Bistre, with lights scratched out. (966)Width 9 inches. Height, 5 inches.The painting for auction follows this same axis and is clearly in the John Martin style, displaying many ofhis hallmarks (Barbara C. Morden John Martin: Apocalypse Now! Northumbria Press 2010). The posture and gesture of the figures and groups, including the receding hordes of spectators, the group of weeping women in the fore-middle distance, and the centurion on a rearing horse are certainly sourced from Martin's repertoire. Here, as so often in Martin's work, the canvas is split by a ravine, with on the right silhouetted towers, ramparts and palm trees against an illuminated vision of Jerusalem. The viewer's position, hovering in indeterminate space over the whole, is equally typical. Intriguing is the hunched character in the left foreground, whose profile is suggestive of characters in Martin's work who represent the Divinity (as in the mezzotint The Creation of Light, CW41*) but the image is ambiguous.Lacking perhaps the quality of execution that we would expect from Martin, we assume that this is likely to be the work of a provincial copyist; but it leaves open the interesting possibility that it may now be the only remaining version of a John Martin composition that would otherwise be lost to us foreverWe are indebted to Dr Barbara Morden for her research and contribution to this catalogue entry.See illustration £1000-1800

EXHIBITED:
Memorial Exhibition Charles Napier Hemy: Life on the Sea 1918.
This painting is one of a set of panels painted for the SS Ophir, built by R. Napier & Sons Ltd., Glasgow, 1891. The Ophir was a steel twin-screw ocean liner owned by the Orient Steamship Company of London which was employed on the Company's London/Aden/Colombo/Australia Service in the late 1890's until 1915 when she was requisitioned by the Admiralty for conversion to an armed merchant cruiser. The lounge of the Ophir was decorated with a number of paintings by Hemy (for other examples see lots 242 and 243 Anderson & Garland Ltd. sale March 2008) and in 1901 she was employed as a royal yacht to convey the Duke & Duchess of Cornwall and York (the future King George V & Queen Mary) to Australia to open the Federal Parliament in Melbourne, and then on to other parts of the Empire.

A PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE WEAR AT SUNDERLAND WITH STONEMASONS AT WORK ON THE SOUTH PIERsigned and dated 1847
60 x 90cms; 23 1/2 x 35 1/2in.
NB:
Sunderland South Pier was started in 1723 and gradually extended until in 1746 it was 1,000ft. long. It was however, of poor quality construction, constantly suffering under heavy weather conditions. So from 1821 to 1846 a major-rebuild was undertaken extending the width to 40ft. and the length to 2,000ft. Ten years later a wrought and cast-iron lighthouse was added which continued in use until 1983 when the pier was shortened and the lighthouse was relocated to Roker Cliffs, where it now stands overlooking the bay.
