About the Item
Oil on Canvas; “War of the Spanish Succession, 1702-13”, A Mid 18th Century Marine Scene by Peter Monamy
“War of the Spanish Succession, 1702-13″, the fleet under Admiral Sir George Rooke, assembling and victualling in the downs at the outbreak of war – September 1702.
Peter Monamy was born in London in 1681, the youngest son of a Guernseyman. Throughout his career he was heavily influenced by the works of Willem van de Velde, the Younger; and was one of the first English artists to continue the tradition of Willem van de Velde the Younger’s marine painting into the 18th century. His work is representative of the early British school of maritime art, which still shows an overwhelming influence of the Dutch style. Monamy was self-taught, but may have worked in van de Velde’s studio in Greenwich.

Peter Monamy
Peter Monamy was born in London in 1681 to Pierre Monamy from Guernsey and Dorothy Gilbert. At the age of 15, he was apprenticed to William Clark, Master of the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers who provided interior decorations including paintings on paneling, overmantels and murals. Many of his paintings were displayed in the shop window. He succeeded the business upon Clark’s death and began specializing in marine scenes. He seems to have spent time in Ireland and then Plymouth painting commissions for marine and naval scenes. During the early 1720s, he settled in Westminster taking a studio there and established himself as London's pre-eminent marine painter. Monamy specialized in naval vessels at sea, usually Man-of-War ships off the British coast and often included forts or castles in his paintings. Examples of his works are held by the Glasgow Museum, Jersey Museum, National Maritime Museum, National Trust, University of Greenwich, Victoria & Albert Museum and The Wilson.

Chinese School Painting, in the Manner of Giuseppe Castiglione, 19th Century
Located in London, GB
A 19th Century Chinese School Painting, in the manner of Giuseppe Castiglione (also by the name of Lang Shi’ning)
Following the larger painting known by the title, “Kazaks presenting horses in tribute”, by Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shi’ning). This subtly executed copy of this original 18th Century artwork (1757, last photographs included), is a beautiful rendition of the Kazak people leading their horses in tribute to the seated Chinese Emperor (the original ink and paper on hanging scroll, is currently housed Ink at Réunion des Musées Nationaux).

Giuseppe Castiglione was born in Milan on July 19th of 1688, and studied painting extensively in Genoa and Lisbon, and joined the Jesuits in the early 18th Century before being sent to Macao, China by the European Catholic Church. After travelling to Beijing where his artistic ability impressed the Emperor, Castiglione served as imperial artist to the Emperor, as well as his three successors Kang Xi...
