Est: £800 - £1,200
ROBERT ANNING BELL RA (BRITISH 1863-1933) MOTHER AND CHILD signed and dated .R.A.Bell.96 lower right; coloured and gold paint on plaster; 46 x 23cm; 18 1/4 x 9in (64.5 x 39cm; 25 1/2 x 15 1/2in framed) Anning Bell completed the present work whilst teaching at the Liverpool School of Architecture from 1895-1896. There he became associated with the recently founded Della Robbia Pottery located nearby in Birkenhead, and developed a line in polychrome plaster reliefs inspired by the Italian Renaissance master. Bell had first worked in his uncle's architectural practice before studying at Westminster School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools. He subsequently spent a year in Paris in the studio of Aimé Morot, and on his return to England shared a studio with George Frampton before spending time in Italy. After his Liverpool posting he was appointed head of Design at Glasgow School of Art in 1911, and was Professor of Design at the Royal College of Art in London from 1918-24. In 1921 he was elected Master of the Art Worker's Guild. As well as exhibiting regularly at the Royal Academy and the New English Art Club, he completed major mosaic commissions both for Westminster Cathedral and for the Palace of Westminster. JRT notes on the reverse: 'I have seen another treatment of this same relief, less rich, dated 1903.'
