Dominic Serres was theforemost British marinepainter of the eighteenthcentury. A founding memberof the Royal Academy andMarine Painter to George III,Serres was actually born inFrance and brought toEngland as prisoner of war inabout 1745 after travelling theworld in his young years,managing to sail to Cuba as aship’s captain, where he wascaptured. He remained inEngland after the peace treatybetween France and Englandand was thoroughlyassimilated in the English wayof life. Serres is thought tohave trained as a painter inNorthamptonshire and laterin London under CharlesBrooking. He began hiscareer with a print publishersrecording the developments ofthe Seven Year War but hisskill and passion for navaldrawing and painting soonattracted the patronage ofleading naval commanderswho wished to commemoratetheir achievements indramatic naval battles. Hisclients included Hawke,Keppel, Hervey (Earl of

Bristol), Hyde Parker,Barrington, Rodney andJervis (Earl of St Vincent)among many others. Thesecond half of theseventeenth century was adecisive and turbulent timefor the British Empire and thedevelopment of its navaldominance and Serres wasnever short of subject matter.By entering the service ofGeorge III, his art took on amore propagandistic aspect,recording the navy’s mightand many triumphs andcampaigns.
The present painting isindeed exemplary of this typeof important representationof power and it depicts ‘TheVan and Rear of All hisMajesty’s Ships andTransports’, stationed byCuba, with ‘The Pan or CapeLand of the Matanzes, at alarge distance being a highTable-Land’. The presentexpansive view was painted in1767 to commemorate asubstantial campaign toHavana during the Seven
his return to England heapproached Serres to use hisdetailed drawings and notesto produce a full set ofpaintings by 1764 which werethen published as engravingsin 1764-65 and offered for twoguineas per set. The presentwork represents Plates I andII in the album ‘The Van andRear of All his Majesty’sShips and Transports’ andwas painted by Serres,probably as a commissionfrom the family of AdmiralKeppel. Another painting bySerres of the same date asthe present work and relatedto the Havana campaignengravings, The Capture ofHavana, 1762: the EnglishBattery Before Morro Castle,is currently on view at theNational Maritime Museum inLondon, on loan from aprivate collection. Thepresent lot and the workcurrently hanging in Londonmay have beencommissioned by the sameperson in 1767.
The three frigates leading the
Years War. Cuba’s capital wasthe centre of the Spanishpossessions in the WesternHemisphere and animportant hub for Spain’smercantile and militaryforces. Spain had increasinglyallied itself with France in itscolonial war against Englandand George III finally declaredwar on Spain in 1762. Amidgreat secrecy an enormousfleet of more than 180 wasgathered, under thecommand of Admiral SirGeorge Pocock, and sailedthrough the dangerous OldStraits of Bahama, fromJamaica, to take Havana bysurprise. The campaign wasan utter success with Havanasurrendering in the middle ofAugust that year, but the citywas returned the followingyear in the Treaty of Paris.
One of the lieutenants aboardthe 66 gun man-of-warOrford was Philip Orsbright.He recorded in notes anddrawings all the stages of theapproach, siege and captureof the following weeks. Upon

The ships onthe right of the compositionon the other hand are theNamur carrying Admiral SirGeorge Pocock, who led thenaval campaign, Valiant withHon Augustus Keppel and theCulloden by Captain JohnBarker.
The present painting and theHavana series of paintings asa whole represent animportant turning point inSerres’s reputation andcareer. The Keppel familydominated the ‘Havannah’campaign and followingSerres’s production ofOrsbright’s drawings, variousmembers commissionedversions of certain views fromthe set to display in theircountry houses. Theirexample was later followed byother commanders andcaptains who also wished tocommemorate their navaltriumphs and chose Serres asthe most fashionable andpreferred marine painter inEngland.
The full set of twelveengravings of ‘The Capture ofHavannah, 1762.’ is in thecollection of the NationalMaritime Museum, Londonand only seven of Serres’paintings of this series,excluding the present one,have been known to scholarsuntil now.

£8,000-12,000
THE FOLLOWING THREE LOTS ARE FROM THECOLLECTION OF LEHMAN BROTHERS HOLDINGS INC.
The son of the shipwright andmarine painter Miles Walters(1774-1849), Samuel Walterswas very fittingly born at seaon a passage betweenBideford and London in 1811.The family had moved toLiverpool by 1832 and Samueltrained and painted with hisfather and some of theircollaboratory works aresigned Walters and Son. Heexhibited his paintings for thefirst time at the LiverpoolAcademy Annual Exhibition in1830 and continued to exhibitthere for thirty-five years,becoming a member in 1841.He also exhibited at the RoyalAcademy in London between1842 and 1861, specialising incoastal views. The mid-nineteenth century sawMerseyside enjoying atremendous shipping boom.During the period 1830-1930Liverpool was probably thegreatest emigration port inworld history, handling anastounding nine millionpassengers from as far afieldas Russia. Passenger listsindicate that transfer on theFrankfield, the subject of thepresent lot, between Liverpooland Port Philip in southernVictoria in Australia, forexample cost between £10and £20 in 1841. Waltersgained commissions for shipportraits from all the major
shipping companies and hiswork shapes an extraordinaryportrait of nineteenth centuryocean commerce and travel.
The present work shows theship Frankfield, her name onthe bow as well as on the flagat the main. The full-riggedship was built in NewBrunswick, Canada in 1840for Thomas Wilson & Co ofLiverpool for their Australianservice and weighed 750tonnes. Many shippingcompanies had their vesselsbuilt in New Brunswick foreconomic reasons. Thepresent canvas dates from1847, the ship’s last year ofservice as it was wrecked inDecember of that year. Thereare two earlier compositionsby Walters of the vessel indifferent situations. One ofthese is presently in thecollection of the Walker ArtGallery, Liverpool. Dated1841, it shows the Frankfieldat Mersey with another ship,Brutus owned by Wilson & Coin the foreground. In thepresent work Frankfield isshown under shortened sailwith topsails reefed, in a freshbreeze and moderately roughseas. Table Bay is in thebackground and the shipappears to be returning toLiverpool. Table Bay is anatural inlet overlooked byCape Town; is at the northern
end of the Cape Peninsulaand was named after the flat-topped Table Mountain whichdominates it. Walters is notknown to have visited TableBay, but his uncle, LieutenantSamuel Walters RN did,sketching the scene in hisjournal. The backgroundshown here was also used byhis father, Miles in the 1820’sand it was available fromcontemporary prints.
The 1840s saw Walter’s stylemature and works from thatdecade are considered as‘middle period’. Distinguishingpaintings from this time inparticular is the breaking upand broadening of the ratherrigid brush strokes of his‘early period’, denoting thewater and wave creststhrough a looser and morespontaneous handling ofpaint. The overall effect is oneof greater fluidity andmovement both in sea and skyand a more subtle balancebetween light and shade.

Théophile Poilpot was the sonof an artist, also calledThéophile Poilpot, andspecialised in battle scenes,genres paintings, portraitsand seascapes. A student ofcelebrated Academic paintersGerôme and GustaveBoulanger at the Ecole deBeaux Arts Paris, he was aregular exhibitor at the Salonfrom 1874 and at the Salondes Artistes Français, wherehe got an honourable mentionin 1883. He was decoratedChevalier in 1889 andsubsequently Officer of theLegion d’Honneur in 1895.Whilst he is chiefly known forhis large scale battlescenes,such as The Battle of Iena orthe Battle of Balaclava, healso ventured into NorthAmerican subject matter,such as Bull Run, held inWashington or the Merrimac
and Monitor in New York. Heexcelled in the construction ofmulti-figural compositions asexemplified by the presentpainting.
There is indeed atransatlantic link here, as thepainting depicts the departureof the ship La Normandiefrom Le Havre to New York in1889. Like Liverpool, Le Havrewas a major European portfor transatlantic travel untilthe advent of commercial airtravel in 1970s. Thesteamship La Normandie isseen docked and loading herpassengers, with groups inthe foreground exchangingtheir farewells. The ship wasbuilt for the CompagnieGénérale Transatlantique(French Line) by BarrowShipbuilding Co in Barrow,north-west England. She waslaid down as the Ville de New
York, but was launched on 28October 1882 as Normandie at6,283 tons and 139m long. Itsservice speed was 15.75 knots- the fastest in CGT’s fleet anddesigned to match the fastoceanliners of the BritishCunard Line or the White StarLine. It offeredaccommodation to over onethousand passengers, most ofthem in steerage class. Itsailed on its maiden voyage on1883 from Le Havre to NewYork and went on to sail toPanama and Vera Cruz in the1890’s and 1900’s. It wasscrapped at Bo’ness in 1912.La Normandie is not to beconfused with another greatFrench oceanliner, the SSNormandie, which enteredservice in 1935 and broke therecord for transatlanticcrossing by making thejourney in four days and threehours, snatching the highly-sought after Blue Riband forthe French from the Italians.
The present painting is animportant depiction oftransatlantic travel and themanner in which it changedthe way people saw theirworld. It attests to the greatpride in which nations heldtheir shipping companies andthe opportunities created forEuropeans to travel,immigrate and create newlives for themselves overseas.

Born in Rothesay, on theisland of Bute, George LeslieHunter’s still lifes areundoubtedly among the mostvibrant and modern ofScottish paintings of the early20th century. Largely self-taught, Hunter started hiscareer as a magazineillustrator before turning forinspiration to the work of 17thcentury Dutch masters andthe later Fantin Latour andEdouard Manet. Hunter’searly still life’s echo thelatter’s pre-occupation withbroadly modelled formsemerging from a darkbackbackground.
It is not known how theartist’s work became knownto the dealer Alexander Reidbut this partnership, whichresulted in Hunter’s first soloexhibition in Glasgow in 1916and the creation of a circle ofregular collectors of Hunter’swork, gave the artist muchmore financial freedom andallowed him to visit theContinent, Paris and theSouth of France in particularon regular intervals. These
visits allowed the artist tocome into contact with themost recent developments inFrance, namely the growingeminence of Paul Cézanneand the newly exhibited workof Matisse and Picasso.Matisse’s palette andapproach to texture, patternand a non-linearrepresentation of space inparticular was to have aradical influence on Hunter’swork and can be seen in thepresent canvas, in the boldemphasis on the pattern ofthe fabric on the right, as wellas the strong dark brushstrokes outlining the vase, theflowers and the pear,emphasising the importanceof line and pattern in creatingvolume and a perception ofpictorial architecture.
Hunter did not, however,create a mere pastiche of theFrenchman’s work. When theScotsman’s paintings wereshown in New York in 1929,the critic for the New YorkEvening Post noted; '... itwould be difficult not to thinkof Matisse at first viewing of
this exhibition. Yet, afterlooking at it longer one seesthat there has been aninfluence of Matisse, but thathere is a new individualpalette and personality.' (T. J.Honeyman, Introducing LeslieHunter, 1937, p. 135).

Samuel John Peploe’s oilNear Douglas Hall succinctlydemonstrates the Colourist’smasterful use of strongcolour, his tight compositionsand meticulous execution.Peploe was educated at theTrustees' Academy inEdinburgh, at the AcademieJulian in Paris under the neo-classicist WilliamBouguereau, and later at theAcademie Colarossi.
He began visiting and paintingin northern France and theHebrides with J D Fergussonas early as 1901 andeventually moved to Paris in1910. The exposure to the richartistic climate of thecontinent, the light palettes ofCézanne and theImpressionists had adramatic effect on his work.It was in that decade that hislandscapes and still life’sunderwent a dramaticchange, with the introductionof bolder, lighter colours,more painterly brushstrokes.
Peploe returned to Scotland in1915 with his family as war onthe Continent made life moreunpredictable, and his healthwas considered too poor forconscription. It was in thesecond half of the decade thathe painted a small series oflandscapes around DouglasHall, Kirkcudbright, Lagganand Dalbeattie in the south-west of the country. The areawas already a populardestination for artists in thenineteenth century andPeploe found much to occupyhim here. In theselandscapes, as exemplifiedhere, Peploe used a muchmore natural palate and amore structured approach tothe composition. The darkoutline emphasised the linearplanes of the flat pictureplane, focusing on themedium rather than thesubject matter.
Peploe uses the diminishingposts along the path to conveydepth, rather than more
conventional aerial orgeometrical perspectivestrategies of earliertraditional painters. Theperfectly harmonised shadesof green are layered along thepictorial plane to lead our eyeinto the idyllic haystacklandscape and to the hillsbeyond. The swell of the landin the distance is impossibleto separate from Cézanne’sbeloved Mont St Victoire inProvence, which Peploewould have been thoroughlyfamiliar with, from his timespent in France in the firsthalf of the decade.

The island of Iona became aplace of personal inspirationfor Samuel John Peploe and ithas often been referred to ashis Mont St Victoire. Peploefirst visited Iona in 1920 withfellow Colourist Cadell. Hewas to return most years untilhis death in 1935. Thedramatic landscape withenormous craggy rocksemerging from white sands,under a constantly shiftinglight more than made up forthe wild weather of the island,which was known to frustratehim. He wrote to his friendWilliam Macdonald in 1923,'We had miserable weather inIona this year - worst in livingmemory - gales and rain thewhole time. I got very littledone. But that kind ofweather suits Iona; the rocksand distant shores seenthrough falling rain, veilbehind veil, take on an
elusive, mysterious quality,and when the light shinesthrough one has visions ofrare beauty. I think I prefer itthese days to your blue skiesand clear distances' (StanleyCursiter, Peploe, London,1947, p. 71).
Peploe engaged with thesesurroundings passionately.The ruggedness of the rocksand expansive beaches had atremendously liberating effecton his technique. Hiscompositions were simplifiedeven further, often comingclose to abstraction andestablishing an invaluableprecedent for ScottishModernist artists to follow.The paintings he produced onthe island were incrediblypopular with collectors anddid much to ensure hisfinancial stability in thesecond half of his career.More importantly, Iona also
seemingly provided anemotional sustenance for theartist: ‘the island was of farmore significance for Peploe.It was a sanctuary. He felt intune with this place.' (GuyPeploe, S. J. Peploe 1871-1935, 2000, p. 65)
S J Peploe’s iconic WestCoast view of Iona holds aspecial place in the history ofthe Scottish Arts Club as itwas personally donated to theClub by the widow of theartist. It is not known ifPeploe was a member of theClub or not but it seemsinevitable that he would haveenjoyed the hospitality of theelegant Georgian Club houseas a guest of other artistmembers.
