              THOMAS JONES BARKER (BRITISH, 1815-1882) - Lord Nelson at Prayer Before Trafalgar THOMAS JONES BARKER (BRITISH, 1815-1882) “Lord Nelson at Prayer Before Trafalgar” Circa 1854 Signed and inscribed to reverse in pencil First idea for a large picture of Lord Nelson in the cabin of the Victory, T J Barker Oil on panel, framed 8½ x 6½in. (21.5 x 16.5cm.) This is a preparatory sketch by Jones for his celebrated painting (Private Collection, USA) of Nelson in his cabin ahead of the battle of Trafalgar. Completed in 1854, the painting went on a public tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland, principally to promote its popular printed version by Ferdinand Jean de la Ferté Joubert. Known as a history painter, often of military scenes, Barker enjoyed similar success with his depiction of Nelson receiving the surrender of the San Josef at the Battle of Cape St Vincent.

              Est: €22,000 - €25,000

              THOMAS JONES BARKER (United Kingdom, 1815 - 1882). "The Marriage of Lammermoor's Bride", London, 1862. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right area. Signed, dated and located on the back. Attached study by Jorge Gutiérrez-García and Martínez de Marañón. With vintage frame. Measurements: 121 x 190 cm; 145 x 222 cm (frame). This work can be considered one of the best works of Thomas Jones Barker in its genre, both for its great quality and large format and for its complex composition, with numerous characters, the mastery in all aspects (landscape, quality of the canvases, etc.) and, especially, for the work of the characters, close to portraiture. There is no doubt about the authorship: the style coincides with that of Jones Barker, as well as the subject (a historical genre scene), and the work is signed "T.J. Barker pinxit" and, on the back, "Thomas Jones Barker pinxit, London 1862". On the other hand, the back of the work also presents several details that corroborate its authenticity. First of all, the stamps of the house in charge of making the stretcher and the canvas, which correspond to those used by the author (C. Davy Artists, 83 Newman st.). The date of the work, 1862, corresponds to the period in which this firm was located in Newman Street, Oxford (1843-1862). At the bottom of the frame we note a legend belonging to the framing workshop, J.M. Hill, active in the mid-19th century. Other labels and legends also appear, all corresponding to the period. Finally it should be noted that this work was sold at Christie's London in 1983, identified as a work by Jones Barker without doubt. "The Bride of Lammermoor" is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott, published in 1819. It narrates the tragic love story between Lucy Ashton and Edgar Ravenswood, and the author indicates that it is based on real historical events that took place in the 17th century. Son of the painter Thomas Barker, Thomas Jones began his training with his father, and from 1835 he continued it in Paris with Horace Vernet, with whom he remained for many years. During these years in France Jones Barker frequently exhibited his works at the Paris Salon, being awarded three gold medals. He also painted several pictures for Louis Philippe of France, among them "The Death of Louis XIV". For Princess Marie, daughter of Louis Philippe, Jones Barker painted in 1840 "The Bride of Death", for which he received the Cross of the Legion of Honor. The painter returned to England around 1845, and soon began to exhibit his works at the Royal Academy in London, mainly portraits. He also sent to this institution a work inspired by a poem by Sir Walter Scott, "The Troubadour" (1849). As the years progressed, Jones Barker continued to show his works regularly at the Royal Academy, with different themes as his career evolved (war, historical works, portraits...). Probably following Vernet's influence, Jones Barker's first works mainly dealt with themes of the Napoleonic wars. Towards the end of his life he returned to war themes with great critical and public success, depicting themes of the Franco-Prussian and Crimean wars. He is currently represented in the National Portrait Gallery in London, the National Army Museum, the National Museum of Wales, the National Gallery of Ireland, the Southampton Art Gallery and the Maidstone Museum, among other public and private collections.
