Richard Buckner (1812–1883) dating: 1840 circa provenance: Papal States, Oil on panel, depicting a member of the Papal Noble Guard. The reverse with the artist’s initials in pencil. Richard Buckner (1812–1885) was a highly regarded English painter who specialised in portraiture and genre painting. Following a brief military career, he relocated to Rome, where he studied under Giovanni Battista Canevari and established a studio in Piazza Barberini. During his time in Rome, while the Papal States still existed, he produced portraits and scenes depicting the inhabitants and customs of the Roman countryside. Notable works on Italian subjects include "Angelo, a Peasant Boy of the Roman Campagna" (1860) and "A Glass of Wine in the Roman Campagna". Buckner exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy in London, establishing himself as a portraitist of the British aristocracy and receiving commissions from Queen Victoria's court. Of particular interest is Buckner's body of work devoted to military subjects and figures in uniform. Among these, Swiss Guard (oil on panel) is particularly noteworthy.
