    W. BAILLIE (*1723) after HONE (*1718), Self-portrait, 1783, Copper engraving

    Est: €600 - €800

    William Baillie (1723 Killbride (Carlow) - 1810 London) after Nathaniel Hone (1718 - 1730 ): Self-portrait, after the painting by Nathaniel Hone, 1783, Copper engraving Technique: Copper engraving on China paper, rolled-on on Paper Inscription: Signed in the printing plate: "William Baillie". Date: 1783 Description: During his lifetime, after his career in the army, William Baillie was particularly known for his expertise in the field of fine art. As an advisor and dealer, he looked after the collections of the Earl of Bute and Lord Liverpool. His enthusiasm for printmaking techniques, which he taught himself for the most part, probably helped him on his way to becoming a respected connoisseur. He was particularly fond of Rembrandt and copied many of the Dutchman's works, thus, together with his friend Nathaniel Hone, greatly increasing Rembrandt's fame, especially in England. Our self-portrait, engraved by Baillie after his friend Hone's painting, is not only an expression of friendship, but also of Rembrandt's enthusiasm. It reveals not only the highly skilful mastery of printmaking technique, but also Rembrandt's strong influence on both artists. For example, Hone quoted the hat and the fur-trimmed coat for the portrait almost verbatim from Rembrandt's etching Portrait of Cornelis Anslo. In his print, Baillie finally fitted the painting into an oval frame, whereby the hand still visible in the painting has disappeared and the effect becomes more gravitational. The integration of the curtain, which the two putti open in front of Baillie's quasi-immortalised portrait, is certainly to be understood as an homage to Rembrandt's Holy Family with the Curtain or Vermeer's Girl Reading a Letter. Keywords: Artist, Self-portrait, Putti, Irish, English, 18th century, Classicism, Portraits, United Kingdom, Size: Paper: 41,8 cm x 48,3 cm (16,5 x 19 in), Depiction: 23,8 cm x 27,2 cm (9,4 x 10,7 in)

    William Baillie (1723 Killbride (Carlow) - 1810 London) after Nathaniel Hone (1718 - 1730 ): Self-portrait, after the painting by Nathaniel Hone, 1783, Copper engraving Technique: Copper engraving on , rolled-on on Paper Inscription: Signed in the printing plate: "William Baillie". Date: 1783 Description: During his lifetime, after his career in the army, William Baillie was particularly known for his expertise in the field of fine art. As an advisor and dealer, he looked after the collections of the Earl of Bute and Lord Liverpool. His enthusiasm for printmaking techniques, which he taught himself for the most part, probably helped him on his way to becoming a respected connoisseur. He was particularly fond of Rembrandt and copied many of the Dutchman's works, thus, together with his friend Nathaniel Hone, greatly increasing Rembrandt's fame, especially in England. Our self-portrait, engraved by Baillie after his friend Hone's painting, is not only an expression of friendship, but also of Rembrandt's enthusiasm. It reveals not only the highly skilful mastery of printmaking technique, but also Rembrandt's strong influence on both artists. For example, Hone quoted the hat and the fur-trimmed coat for the portrait almost verbatim from Rembrandt's etching Portrait of Cornelis Anslo. In his print, Baillie finally fitted the painting into an oval frame, whereby the hand still visible in the painting has disappeared and the effect becomes more gravitational. The integration of the curtain, which the two putti open in front of Baillie's quasi-immortalised portrait, is certainly to be understood as an homage to Rembrandt's Holy Family with the Curtain or Vermeer's Girl Reading a Letter.

Thus he looked after the collections of the Earl of Bute and Lord Liverpool as an advisor and dealer. His enthusiasm for printmaking techniques, which he largely taught himself, may have helped him on his way to becoming a respected connoisseur. He was particularly fond of Rembrandt and copied numerous works by the Dutchman, thus ensuring, together with his friend Nathaniel Hone, that Rembrandt's fame was greatly increased, especially in England. Our self-portrait, engraved by Baillie after the painting of his friend Hone, is not only an expression of friendship but also of Rembrandt's enthusiasm. We can see in it not only the highly skilful mastery of the printmaking technique, but also the strong influence of Rembrandt on both artists. For the portrait, for example, Hone has quoted the hat and the fur-trimmed coat almost verbatim from Rembrandt's etching Portrait of Cornelis Anslo. Baillie finally fitted the painting into an oval framing in his print, whereby the hand still visible in the painting has disappeared and the effect becomes more grave.
