Description

ALLEN CULPEPPER SEALY (England, 1850 -1927). "Common, winner of the triple crown in 1891 ridden by G.Barrat", 1891. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Provenance: Bernat Gallery. Measurements: 71 x 92 cm: 86.5 x 107 cm (frame). The painting of hunting theme combines the contemplation of the landscape with the narrative, the portrait and the animalistic painting, reflecting in a very precise way the aesthetic taste and the thought of the bourgeoisie of the XIX century. The patron sees his own reality represented in the painting, his way of life, his values vindicated through art. What is certain, however, is that it was a particularly important genre in England, due to the great tradition of its competitions. The English greatly appreciated the naturalistic representation of animals and the works thus became true portraits of these racing heroes that congregated (and congregate) the British monarchy and aristocracy. Allen Culpepper Sealy was born at Field Grove House, Bitton, Keynsham, Somerset, educated at Elm Grove House, Manchester Street, Littleham St Thomas, Devon, a boarding school, but returned home to Bitton in 1871, from where he studied at Bristol School of Art. A landscape but equestrian painter, he traveled widely on commissions; in 1891 he was in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in 1901 in Rochester, Kent, and in 1911 in Exmouth, Devon. He must also have been in Newmarket, Suffolk, where he received several commissions, and his "Kingwood" is in the National Horseracing Museum in Newmarket. He exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1875 and 1886, as well as at the Royal Society of Artists in Birmingham, the Fine Art Society, the Walker Art Gallery, the Manchester City Art Gallery, the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Hibernian Academy and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. Allen Culpepper Sealy died at Park Cottage, Parkstone, Poole, Dorset, on November 11, 1927.
