Horatio 1st Viscount Nelson Mezzotint Engraving
We are pleased to offer this coloured Mezzotint Engraving of Horatio 1st Viscount Nelson (1758-1805) after the original oil painting by John Hoppner RA (1758-1810), by A. Stewart Wright, signed by him below the engraving, as shown. The Mezzotint bears the inscription to the left: Published April 23rd 1924 by H. C. Dickins 9 Great Pulteney St. W1 London, image available on request, and to the right: Copyright in USA 1924 by H. C. Dickins. The plate marks are showing.
The original painting by Hoppner is in the Royal Collection and is currently in St. James's Palace. It was purchased from his widow in 1810, along with another portrait of a naval hero. Please note that the original in the Royal Collection purchased from his widow, is wearing a red sash with the one below in blue with red edges.
Hoppner was the son of a German physician working at the court of George II he was encouraged to become a painter by George III, studying drawings in the Royal Collection as well as attending the RA Schools. In 1793, after the death of Reynolds, Hoppner was appointed Principal Portrait Painter to the Prince of Wales. Nelson stands on a rocky seashore, leaning on a rock, wearing the full-dress uniform of a Rear-Admiral with orders and decorations behind is a view of the naval bombardment of Copenhagen. The low view point and storm clouds apparently gathered around the sitter's head are devices learned from Reynolds's depiction of heroes. This portrait must have been commissioned in 1801 with sittings taken during Nelson’s time in England in the summer of that year in 24 March 1802 Farington records in his diary that Hoppner intended to send the portrait to the Royal Academy, though in the end he failed to do so. For the remainder of his life this portraits seems to have remained with Hoppner allowing him to execute many copies.
A. Stewart Wright, ( born 28/9/1885 in Surrey Albert T. S. Wright, died 1956, Surrey) the engraver, lived in New Malden, Surrey and is listed in The Dictionary of British Artists (Collectors' Club). He exhibited between 1923 and 1932 2 works at the Royal Academy.
Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté, KB (29 September 1758 – 21 October 1805) was a British flag office in the Royal Navy. He was noted for his inspirational leadership, grasp of strategy, and unconventional tactics, which together resulted in a number of decisive British naval victories, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. He was wounded several times in combat, losing the sight in one eye in Corsica and most of one arm in the unsuccessful attempt to conquer Santa Cruz de Tenerife. He was shot and killed during his final victory at the Battle of Trafalgar near the port city of Cadiz in 1805.
Nelson was born into a moderately prosperous Norfolk family and joined the navy through the influence of his uncle, Maurice Suckling, a high-ranking naval officer himself. He rose rapidly through the ranks and served with leading naval commanders of the period before obtaining his own command in 1778. He developed a reputation in the service through his personal valour and firm grasp of tactics but suffered periods of illness and unemployment after the end of the American War of Independence. The outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars allowed Nelson to return to service, where he was particularly active in the Mediterranean. He fought in several minor engagements off Toulon and was important in the capture of Corsica and subsequent diplomatic duties with the Italian states. In 1797, he distinguished himself while in command of HMS Captain at the Battle of Cape Saint Vincent.
Shortly after the battle, Nelson took part in the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where his attack was defeated and he was badly wounded, losing his right arm, and was forced to return to England to recuperate. The following year, he won a decisive victory over the French at the Battle of Santa Cruz de Tenerife and remained in the Mediterranean to support the Kingdom of Naples against a French invasion. In 1801, he was dispatched to the Baltic and won another victory, this time over the Danes at the Battle of Copenhagen. He subsequently commanded the blockade of the French and Spanish fleets at Toulon and, after their escape, chased them to the West Indies and back but failed to bring them to battle. After a brief return to England, he took over the Cadiz blockade in 1805. On 21 October 1805, the Franco-Spanish fleet came out of port, and Nelson's fleet engaged them at the Battle of Trafalgar. The battle was Britain's greatest naval victory, but during the action, Nelson, aboard HMS Victory, was fatally wounded by a French sharpshooter. His body was brought back to England where he was accorded a state funeral.
Nelson's death at Trafalgar secured his position as one of Britain's most heroic figures. The significance of the victory and his death during the battle led to his signal, "England expects that every man will do his duty", being regularly quoted, paraphrased and referenced up to the modern day. Numerous monuments, including Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, London, and the Nelson Monument in Edinburgh, have been created in his memory and his legacy remains highly influential.
The engraving is mounted in its original mount with washlines and is framed in its original 1 3/8" black and gilt frame, with gilt metal corner mounts. The original backing board had to be removed due to woodworm, but has been replaced with a new one and the original label from Henry Graves, the original framers in Sloane Street, London SW1 has been re-applied to the replacement.
Image size: 25 3/8" x 17 1/2" - 64.5cm x 44.5cm
Frame size: 34 1/4" x 26 1/8" - 87cm x 66.35cm
Medium: Coloured Mezzotint on paper
Condition: Very good. There are a few pale foxing marks on the mount and slight browning of its edges. The mezzotint is in very good condition. The frame is in very good condition with only very slight wear consistent with age.
