JOHN DOYLE (1797 - 1868) A racehorse with jockey up being led up at the Curragh Oil on canvas, 71 x 91.5cm (28 x 36), in early 19th century original frame Painted circa 1820 Provenance: Private collection until 2022 John Doyle was the eldest son of a Dublin silk mercer, and came from a Catholic family which in the seventeenth century had been granted extensive estates in County Offaly but were subsequently dispossessed. In his youth he learned to paint landscapes under Gaspare Gabrielli (1770-1828), the Italian landscapist who spent many years in Dublin, and miniature portraits at the Royal Dublin Society's drawing school under John Comerford (1773-1832). He won the gold medal in 1805. Doyle was commissioned to paint equestrian portraits for Howe Peter Browne, 2nd Marquess of Sligo (1788-1845) for Westport House and Lord Talbot, the Irish viceroy, and in 1822 he produced six prints entitled The Life of a Racehorse and Backing the Colt number three of the set is clearly related to the present work, helping to date it. That year he moved to London with his wife, Marianna Conan, and soon found patronage from the Prince Regent and members of the aristocracy, again for equestrian paintings. His career, however, soon took a different direction, and he became, under his pseudonym HB one of the best-known and prolific draughtsmen, satirical illustrators and cartoonists of the nineteenth century; he seldom painted in oils on canvas thereafter. It has been suggested that the silks worn by the jockey in the present painting may be second colours of the Marquess of Sligo, whose usual prime colours were white with red sleeves rather than all white. All-white silks are those usually attributed to Lord Anson at this date.

From 1827 he began his production of drawings that he signed with the monogram HB, safeguarding his anonymity; his works were published by the famous publisher Thomas Mc Lean and lithographed by Alfred Ducôte, were so successful that Prince Metternich himself owned the entire collection. The drawings made from 1830 to 1845 marked a fundamental step in the history of caricature, bringing English satirical art to a more moderate language than that used by contemporary colleagues. litography 42,8 x 34, 43,3 x 32 e 43 x 34 cm Very good condition.

Oil on canvas England, 1828 Attributed to John Doyle (1797-1868) - Irish-born cartoonist and painter Signed and dated lower right 'J. Doyle 1828' Verso on the stretcher and frame with several poorly legible inscriptions and old auction labels Broad gold frame Dimensions: 64 x 76 cm Doyle, who became famous as a political cartoonist in London under the pen name HB, painted various oil paintings, including some moonlight scenes during his early creative period. They are considered exceptional collector's items and are a rare find on the art market Object is regular taxed. 19% VAT is added to the purchase price for deliveries within the EU. This painting from 1828 is attributed to John Doyle and depicts an landscape in the moonlight - an unusual subject matter for the artist who was primarily known for his satirical drawings. Before the viewer extends a wide river landscape with a moss-covered ruin towering in the left. A couple is sitting by the shore, enjoying the tranquility of the moonlit night. The full moon shines low, illuminating the calm riverbed sailed by a few boats. Skillfully the painter created an imaginary landscape with a romantic atmosphere and an interesting chiaroscuro. The composition is certainly inspired by the work of the English painter Sebastian Pether (1790-1844), who was known for his atmospheric moonlight subjects that were particularly popular in England during the late 18th and early 19th century. The painting is signed and dated lower right 'J. Doyle 1828'. The stretcher and frame bear several poorly legible inscriptions and old auction labels on the verso. There are five unprofessional restorations to the sky and the right area: on the front with clearly visible retouching and backed on the verso. Further there are some marginal blemishes with color losses along the edges due to rubbing of the frame. The canvas is slightly wavy, with small dents. The frame shows some wear. The framed work measures 90.5 x 103 cm, the stretcher frame measures 64 x 76 cm. John Doyle (1797-1868) In his youth John Doyle was a pupil of the landscape painter Gaspare Gabrielli and studied under John Comer Field at the Royal Dublin Society. In 1805 he was honored with a gold medal. During his early creative period he painted landscapes, depictions of race horses and received commissions for equestrian portraits. In 1822 Doyle settled in London. Here he was successful with his political caricatures, which he published as lithographs under the pseudonym HB. Between 1829 and 1851 his cartoons were printed in 'The Times'. Today over 900 of his drawings are in the collections of the British Museum. John Doyle was the grandfather of the famous author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (tfa) Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.

This painting from 1828 is attributed to John Doyle and depicts an landscape in the moonlight - an unusual subject matter for the artist who was primarily known for his satirical drawings. Before the viewer extends a wide river landscape with a moss-covered ruin towering in the left. A couple is sitting by the shore, enjoying the tranquility of the moonlit night. The full moon shines low, illuminating the calm riverbed sailed by a few boats. Skillfully the painter created an imaginary landscape with a romantic atmosphere and an interesting chiaroscuro. The composition is certainly inspired by the work of the English painter Sebastian Pether (1790-1844), who was known for his atmospheric moonlight subjects that were particularly popular in England during the late 18th and early 19th century. The painting is signed and dated lower right 'J. Doyle 1828'. The stretcher and frame bear several poorly legible inscriptions and old auction labels on the verso. There are five unprofessional restorations to the sky and the right area: on the front with clearly visible retouching and backed on the verso. Further there are some marginal blemishes with color losses along the edges due to rubbing of the frame. The canvas is slightly wavy, with small dents. The frame shows some wear. The framed work measures 90.5 x 103 cm, the stretcher frame measures 64 x 76 cm. John Doyle (1797-1868) In his youth John Doyle was a pupil of the landscape painter Gaspare Gabrielli and studied under John Comer Field at the Royal Dublin Society. In 1805 he was honored with a gold medal. During his early creative period he painted landscapes, depictions of race horses and received commissions for equestrian portraits. In 1822 Doyle settled in London. Here he was successful with his political caricatures, which he published as lithographs under the pseudonym HB. Between 1829 and 1851 his cartoons were printed in 'The Times'. Today over 900 of his drawings are in the collections of the British Museum. John Doyle was the grandfather of the famous author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (tfa) Shipping costs excl. statutory VAT and plus 2,5% (+VAT) shipping insurance.
