Neri di Bicci was a Florentine artist, active in the second half of the
15th century. The third generation of artist in his family, he was very
successful and prolific, running a large studio. His works were often
painted on a gold ground as in the present work and have their origins
in the work of the 14th century Florentine, Giotto. He was referred
to by the great art historian of the Italian Renaissance, Giorgio Vasari,
as the last of the Giottoesque painters. His work retained lots of
14th century decorative features, yet also integrated more naturalistic
elements to his figures, as was being developed by contemporaries
such as Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi. He left meticulous records
of his work and business, ‘Le Ricordanze’, which have provided a big
insight into art practices of the 15th century and detailing materials,
commissions, patrons and frames. He had many pupils and his studio
is recorded as creating over 50 Madonna and Child paintings. The
present work appears to be contemporary with the artist and is based
on ‘Madonna and Child Enthroned’, Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.

£15,000-20,000
Provenance:
Dorotheum, Vienna, 4 October
2006, lot 45.
Giovanni Paola Panini was an 18th century
artist and architect, who lived and worked
in Rome. He is best known for his Roman
views or ‘Veduti’, paintings which detailed
the architecture of Rome, with a focus on
the antiquities that are present throughout
the city. Often, the inspiration of these ruins
led him to create ‘capriccios’: made-up,
often slightly fanciful grand imaginings, as in
the present lot. He studied first as a painter
of palaces, learning to use ‘trompe l’oeil’
effects and theatrical devices to create the
illusion of perspective, carefully arranging
compositions for the maximum dramatic
effect. Through a high archway, we see the
ruins of grand buildings and stone structures,
stretching back one after another deep into
the picture plane, the foreground crowded
with broken columns, adorned with a variety
of detailed decoration. Intermingled with
this, we see nature re-asserting itself as
plants and trees creep in between the stone
blocks, foliage hanging from high arches and
columns. There is a strong directional light
that highlights the architectural elements and
adds a layer of romanticism to the scene.

Thomas Young was appointed surgeon to the 1st Royal Regiment of Foot in November 1780, serving in
the Caribbean during the French reoccupation of St. Kitts. Promoted to Garrison Surgeon at Grenada in
1792, he subsequently served as Staff Surgeon in Holland under HRH Duke of York. In 1795, he travelled
back to the Caribbean as Inspector of Hospitals under Sir Ralph Abercrombie. In 1801, he was Principal
Medical Officer to Abercrombie’s expedition to Egypt, where he witnessed the naval battle of Alexandria
during which General Abercrombie was killed. Following the British victory, the British and French
medical staff worked together to treat the wounded of both armies. Young later served in Malta and
retired to Peebles where he died in 1836.

Throughout this autumn, we are delighted to be offering a
selection of works from the collection of Sir Jack and Lady
Baer in a number of sales.
Sir Jack Mervyn Frank Baer (1924-2016) was a British art
dealer from the top tier. The man who built Hazlitt, Gooden
Fox into a world-class concern, he is remembered as one
of the most enduringly successful and well-regarded London
picture dealers of his generation.
Born into a family of German Jewish émigrés, he was
educated at Bryanston School in Dorset, where fellow pupils
included a ‘rather frightening and sophisticated’ boy called
Lucian Freud, and later at the Slade School of Fine Art. After
serving in the RAF during the Second World War and a brief
apprenticeship with the Piccadilly-based art dealer Max de
Beer (ending abruptly when de Beer was jailed for fraud),
Jack decided to break out on his own, always adhering to his
personal motto: ‘honesty before all’.
Ironically, Baer’s decades-long relationship with the Hazlitt
Gallery began when he was asked to help in its closure after
the owner, Hungarian dealer, Max Hevesi, unexpectedly died
in 1947. It was instead agreed that Baer should take control
of the business, and the result was the ‘world-class’ gallery
we know today.
THE ESTATE OF SIR JACK AND LADY BAER
His early exhibitions in the 1950s and 60s focused on
French Barbizon School painters, Italian baroque and rococo
paintings, built on a collection of thirty-five works purchased
during a trip to New York in 1955. On the day that the Foreign
Exchange Controls were removed, Jack quickly acquired
these works by less-popular artists including Corot, Millet,
and Rousseau for just £10,000 (just under £240,000 today),
and by including these works in Hazlitt’s exhibitions, he was
able to influence the market and rebuild their popularity.
In 1973, a merger created Hazlitt, Gooden Fox, followed
by the opening of an affiliate gallery in New York. It was
during this time and the following decades that the gallery
and Jack built a strong reputation, particularly for Italian art,
and formed close friendships with collectors, art historians,
museums and the next generation of art enthusiasts. He
supported many other areas of the art world outside of
the trade, as a Trustee for Burlington magazine’s charitable
foundation, a member of the Reviewing Committee on the
Export of Works of Art, and Chairman of the Acceptance in
Lieu Panel. It is in this latter position that Jack was said to
have saved around £150 million of art for the nation, and he
was recognised with a knighthood in 1997.
For forty-six years from 1970, Jack was married to Diana
(née Downes Baillieu), daughter of the novelist Mollie
Panter-Downes and her husband Clare Robinson. After
winning a Vogue talent contest aged 17, Diana went to
RADA where her contemporaries were Peter O’Toole, Albert
Finney, and Alan Bates. She bought Phillimore Terrace,
London, in 1955, which she, together with Jack, used as a
backdrop to their shared passion for collecting, from 19th-
century French drawings to nautical folk art, contemporary
ceramics, textiles, porcelain, and decorative objects, many
of them bought from local antique shops and fairs.
Diana took up watercolour painting in the 1980s and over
the years had several successful shows at the gallery and the
Fine Art Society. However, her greatest work of art was her
and Jack’s home, which until very recently was hung with
hundreds of paintings, prints, and drawings, both gifts and
Diana’s own works, layered with many antiques and bric-a-
brac finds, all reflecting the couple’s original eye and lifelong
commitment to the arts.
We are delighted to be offering a selection of paintings
and sketches in this sale, including works by Theodore
Rousseau (1812-1867) and Jean-François Millet (1814-1875),
with further 20th century works to be sold in our Modern
Contemporary Art sale on the 4 October.

Follower of George Romney
Portrait of a young gentleman, believed to be a member
of the Nelson family, half-length, in a dark blue coat and
white stock
oil on canvas
76 x 63cm
£400 - 600
By family repute this is said to be a portrait of Admiral
Nelson’s father, Rev. Edmund Nelson (1722-1802). The
owner of the painting has a strong connection to the
Nelson family; a direct ancestor was Bishop Fisher of
Exeter and Salisbury. Bishop Fisher was well connected to
the royal family and was chaplain to George III. Through
his acquaintance with the royal family he knew Nelson,
and was one of the few people invited to Nelson’s funeral
where he received a memorial ring. This portrait has
been in the possession of the owner’s family for the last
two hundred years and has always been referred to as
Nelson’s father. The costume of the portrait and the age
of the gentleman, however, suggests a more likely sitter
to be Edmund Nelson, brother of Admiral Nelson.
