Richard Parkes BONINGTON (1802-1828) Six marine vignettes, Dunkirk, 1824 Pen and brown ink on laid paper mounted on heavy wove paper, in the same frame various dimensions - Dim. frame: 45.5 x 25.5 cm Inscriptions: The larger recto sketch of sailing ships is signed upper right: RPBoning[ton] and initialed on the left sail: B The largest recto sketch is also inscribed in the artist's hand on the reverse: Mons Colin / Peintre / Quai de la Meg[isserie] / à Paris The remaining sketches are inscribed on the reverse with the phrase fragments in the artist's hand Provenance: Alexandre Marie Colin (1798-1875) In February 1824, Richard Parkes Bonington and Alexandre-Marie Colin left Paris for a fortnight's visit to Dunkirk. A Parisian by birth, Colin had studied with Girodet in 1814. He gravitated towards Géricault and, around 1820, was on intimate terms with Eugène Delacroix and Bonington. They stayed on the Quai des Furnes with the family of Sophie Thérèse and Jean Louis Perrier, army commissioner. The earliest known piece of correspondence in Bonington's hand is a letter to artist James Roberts, co-written with Colin and posted from Dunkirk on Ash Wednesday, March 3, 1824. This letter, preserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale, features amusing sketches of the two friends at the Mardi Gras carnival in Dunkirk. Colin returned to his Paris home on the Quai de la Mégisserie later in March, while Bonington stayed with the Perriers for most of the year. Although separated, the two artists corresponded frequently. The six sketches are fragments of at least two letters written by Bonington from Dunkirk. Another example of Bonington's sketches in his 1824 correspondence is a letter to Colin dated November 1, preserved at the Fondation Custodia. Only a few of Bonington's letters to Colin have survived. Most of their correspondence was destroyed by Colin's eldest son, Paul. According to A. Dubuisson, Bonington's first biographer and an acquaintance of Paul Colin, the heir confessed to destroying the letters between his father and Bonington because of their scandalous content. It is impossible to determine whether these delightful vignettes originated from these autograph letters, which were the victims of a censorship campaign. We would like to thank Mr. Patrick Noon, Richard Parkes Bonnington's expert, for his help in writing this card and authenticating this work. It will be included in the adadendum to the catalog raisonné of the artist's work currently in preparation.
