The online notes for the exhibition described this painting in the following way. By about 1865 American artists were beginning to understand the implications of photography for the art of painting. This canvas reportedly was commissioned by the elder brother of the two children James and Parnell Sidway posing in the skylit studio. The paraphernalia of painting are upstaged by the photographer and his gear and the landscape is a mere prop, not an awe-inspiring view. Yet Le Clear does not simply tell a story of photography's triumph over painting. At the time the painting was made, James Sidway, a volunteer firefighter in his mid-twenties, had recently died in a hotel fire; his older sister, Parnell, had died in adolescence, more than fifteen years earlier. Thus, Le Clear may be lauding painters who, unlike photographers, could capture more than the moment at hand, invent narrative, and even restore life to individuals who had passed. |

Sights of London The Diorama - Ruins in a Fog The subject of the above engraving is a novel illustration for our pages; as the fine old ruin is merely an imaginative design, and does not represent a real object: nevertheless, we are assured our engraving will have many admirers, as it is a faithful copy of one of the magnificent views new exhibiting at The Diorama. This fine picture represents a Gothic Gallery falling to decay, situate at the extremity of a narrow valley, beneath barren mountains. All is sombre, desolate, and mournful; the long-drawn aisles, at a first glance, are alone perceived, for a thick fog reigns without, and such is the illusion of the scene, that you actually fancy yourself chilled by the cold and damp air. By degrees, however, the fog disperses, and through the vast arches are plainly discovered the forests of pine and larch-trees that cover the valley. The magic of this effect ot light is indeed most extraordinary, and the illusion is complete and enchanting. The execution of this picture reflects the highest honour on Mr. Daguerres, the artist, whose talents have been frequently exercised on other subjects which have been exhibited at The Diorama, but with none of which have we been more interested, than the present specimen, which entitles Mr. Daguerres to be ranked as one of the most distinguished painters that ever lived. Another picture, painted by Mr. Bouton, is exhibited with the Ruins in a Fog: it is a View of St. Cloud and Environs of Paris, and the eye wanders over a rich landscape, which embraces in ex tent about forty miles of the country adjacent to the French metropolis. At our feet runs a road, which looks arid and dusty, by the side of which lies a man sleeping, which is life itself; this portion at the picture is executed in the most masterly style. Beyond the bridge thrown over the Seine rise the fine chateau and eminences of St. Cloud, and the Lantern of Demosthenes, which, when illuminated, used to announce to the Parisians, that Napoleon had deserted their city for the palace of St. Cloud. Mount Valerian, the vineyards of Argenteuil, the mills of Sannoy, the steeple of St. Denis, may be recognized, and to the extreme right is Paris, the numerous edifices of which may be easily distinguished. In a work of such magnitude, and possessing so many claims to admiration, it is impossible to carry on a description which, at best, can but convey a feeble idea of thls magnificent picture to our reader. We shall then desist from further detail, especially as the major part of our friends will doubtless take an opportunity of visiting tlie Diorama, and passing, as we have done, an agreeable hour in viewing this highly interesting exhibition. |

Although there are photographs by Eakins which relate to the painting, the picture's powerful pyramidal composition and sculptural conception of the individual bodies are completely distinctive pictorial resolutions.[2] The work was painted on commission, but was refused [3]. 1.

It appears to have been taken in 1859 at 'Mr Thompson's Photographic Establishment'. Mr. Thompson is likely to have been the photographer Charles Thurston Thompson (1816-1868). Brown was deeply impressed with the works of Carlyle and several of them influenced his choice of subject matter. Carlyle's writings were known for their lively rhetoric which comes across in the letter he wrote to Brown agreeing to pose for the photograph:'I think it a pity you had not put (or should not still put) some other man than me in your Great Picture. It is certain you could hardly have found among the sons of Adam, at present, any individual who is less in a condition to help you forward with it … I very well remember your amiable request, and the promise I made to you, to 'sit for some photographs.' That promise I will keep; and to that we must restrict ourselves, hand of Necessity compelling. Any afternoon I will attend here, at your studio, or where you appoint me, and give your man one hour to get what photographs he will or can of me. If here, the hour must be 3"pm (my usual hour of quitting work, or to speak justly, the chamber of work); if at any other place, attainable by horseback, it will be altogether equally convenient to me; and the hour may such as enables me to arrive (at a rate of 5 miles per hour we will say!)' (F. M. Hueffer, 'Ford Madox Brown: A Record of his Life and Work, p. 163) The National Portrait Gallery holds another photograph of Carlyle sitting in a chair, which was owned by the sculptor Thomas Woolner (1825-1892), a friend of the artist. It appears to have been taken in the same studio session as the sitter as the same clothes, props and backdrop can be seen in the photograph. It is a smaller portrait of Carlyle from the waist up, and is likely to have been taken as the sitter seems to have moved his head in the Birmingham photograph, producing a blurred effect which may not have contained enough detail for Brown to work from. The Birmingham photograph has pin holes in the corners suggesting that Brown tacked it up to use as a guide to Carlye's pose, which is the same as in the finished picture, but may have relied on the clearer half-length study for his likeness. |
45. | ![]() | Ford Madox Brown (1821-1893) 1852-1865 Work Oil paint 137 x 197.3 cm Manchester Art Gallery © Manchester City Galleries, Accession Number: 1885.1 Curatorial notes © Manchester Art Gallery The moral value of work was much discussed in the middle of the 19th century. This painting reflects that debate. One day, as Brown walked to his Hampstead studio, he caught sight of a group of navvies digging a drain. He had been reading Thomas Carlyle's Past and Present, which discusses the nobility of labour. It occurred to him that navvies were as worth painting as any group of picturesque Italian peasants who graced the walls of London art galleries. He made these constructors of the modern world the central focus of his painting, surrounding them with those who do not need to work or are deprived of meaningful work. In contrast, on the right, Thomas Carlyle watches as he converses with Rev. F D Maurice, founder of the first college for working men. These are brainworkers, the cause of purposeful work and happiness in others. Street scene with arched top, representing aspects of work. In the centre, a group of navvies are digging up the road, one is carrying bricks, another drinking beer, while others shovel the earth dug up by their workmates below into a pile on the surface. In front of them, a young girl with tousled hair and a ragged red, velvet dress looks after three children; a baby in her arms, a small girl at her side, and boy to the right, whose refusal to leave the workmen's wheelbarrow alone has forced the young girl to pull him away by his hair. A mongrel dog at her feet faces a well groomed greyhound, dressed in a red cape, opposite, a third dog lies down between them. To the left, walking to the side of navvies, a ragged flower seller holding a large basket of plants makes his way towards the viewer. He looks suspiciously to the right, his eyes visible through a tear in the brim of his hat. A wealthy lady with blue parasol walks behind him, with an older lady, more soberly dressed, distributing pamphlets behind her. Behind this group a baker, just visible, walks away from the viewer, carrying a tray of pastries on his head. Behind the navvies, a wealthy middle-aged gentleman and his daughter sit on horseback, their path blocked by the roadworks. To the far right, two intellectual men lean against the fence at the side of the road. Behind them a steep grassy bank runs down to road below. Unemployed workers (haymakers) are sleeping at the top of the bank in the shade of a large tree. A couple feeding baby sit close to the tree, a man wearing a top hat stands behind them, leaning against the trunk. Along the lower road, running into distance, a group of people wearing sandwich boards walk away from the viewer, advertising for votes. In the top right corner, a woman with a large basket of oranges is apprehended by policeman, causing her to spill her oranges into the road. |

70. | ![]() | Neil Folberg 2003-2005 Renoir: After the luncheon of the boating party [The French Impressionists] Color print Provided by the artist - Neil Folberg © Neil Folberg, courtesy of the artist In an email Neil Folberg explained the context for this photograph and if it was taken at Maison Fournaise. The answer is that I did go check out the Maison Fournaise and the porch there, but because it was high and a bit small, I would have had to build scaffolding outside the porch to stand on. Also, because it was still an operating restaurant, I would have had to pay to shut it down for two days (had they agreed). What happened is that in my early researches, I was wandering around along the river in the little village of Vétheuil near where Monet had lived sometime before he got involved in his grandiose project at Giverny. Someone who had a house right on the river - Stefan is his name - came down to talk to me and invited me for a drink on his porch which overlooked the Seine … and Stefan is a set designer whose profession is restaurant design. I kept his name for a year or so until I decided to recreate the scene and then went back to see his porch after looking at the Maison Fournaise. It was just so much easier and nicer to work with and he helped create the set. He is seated in the picture with his children and his wife Nina is in the back, the tallest woman standing. She's talking to my good friend Bénedicte. I also used two other friends, Laurent and a cousin of my assistant who is an acting instructor and helped me assign roles to each of the characters. So I was not only recreating the scene of Renoir in a contemporary mode, I was recreating the process, too, where he had used his friends as models and probably had had a pretty good time with them. Believe me, after rehearsing all morning and having a good lunch with plenty of wine we made a party out of this in the late afternoon and by the time we made the shot it wasn't posed - it had become real. That's the story! And I'm still very close friends with Stefan and Nina and Bénedicte … just saw them all last November.(The other people are hired models or actors, some of whom I used in other staged shots). (Pers. email, Neil Folberg to Alan Griffiths, 8 April 2014) This concentrates on the work Neil Folberg completed in France from 2003-2005. |
