Stanley Berkeley Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Illustrator, copperplate engraver

Stanley Berkeley (1855–1909) was an English painter of animal, sporting and historical subjects, especially military scenes. Born in London, he exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy, the Grafton Galleries, the New Watercolour Society, and elsewhere from 1878 until 1902, and many of his pictures were retrospective military scenes of the English Civil War and the Battle of Waterloo, such as For God and King: An Incident in the Civil War, and Gordons and Greys to the front: An Incident at Waterloo. Berkeley also depicted contemporary events and several were published as photogravures by Henry Graves including The Victory of Candahar, Charge of the Gordon Highlanders at Dargai, Atbara, and Omdurman. Some of his most popular pictures were representations of dramatic events in the Boer War. He also provided illustrations for various books, magazines and newspapers, and produced many works in water-color and monochrome. In 1884, he was elected a member of the Royal Society of Painters and Etchers for his illustration work. Berkeley married the genre and landscape painter, Edith Berkeley and they lived at Surbiton Hill, in Surrey, where he died on 24 April 1909.

ProvenanceAnon. sale Sotheby's, London, February 1977.Acquired from the above by the present owner.LiteraturePeter Harrington, British Artists and War: The Face of Battle in Paintings and Prints, 1700-1914, Barnsley, 1993, no.317 illustrated as pl.17.Ian Knight, Go to Your God Like a Soldier: The British Soldier Fighting for Empire, 1837-1902, Barnsley, 1996, illustrated on the cover.The Battle of Abu Klea took place on the 17th January 1885 as a British column, tasked with the relief of the besieged General Gordon in Khartoum, were attacked by a large Mahdist force. After enduring sniper fire throughout the preceding night, the British force of approximately 1,400 advanced in a square formation with their camels in the vacant centre. The ensuing battle is now known as one of the bloodiest fought by the British Army at the time, despite lasting little longer than fifteen minutes. Depicted here is likely to be the moment when the Madhist dervishes broke into the British square, only to have their advance blocked by the trapped camels. Despite managing to repel the enemy forces who, it is thought, took over 1000 casualties, the relief column were too late to rescue the beleaguered General Gordon, who fell as the Madhists took Khartoum.
