Regency Portrait of Charles Burney. Watercolour 2
Edward Francis Burney – Portrait of Charles Burney D.D. No.2
Portrait of Charles Burney D.D. (1757-1817). Signed in pencil with the artists initials E F B (lower left), partially obscured buy the mount. Painted by Charles’s cousin Edward Francis Burney (1760-1848). Drawn on a board with pencil and red chalk then finished with watercolour and grey wash. The mount has been fixed to the board to which the portrait has been painted.
A print of Charles Burney in a different pose will accompany the sale of the watercolour. Engraved: by William Sharp (1749-1824) line engraving on laid paper, published 1 December 1821, trimmed inside the plate with the following inscription written in pencil on the back of the sheet, “Charles Burney – The Grecian Doctor – after the portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence”. The initials J or F B B are inscribed in the bottom right corner on the back of the sheet.
Provenance: Descendants of the Burney family.
Charles was famous, in his day, as a classicist, critic, educator, clergyman and thief. He was one of the most notorious book collectors of the Romantic period and his unique collection of newspapers, theatrical materials, books and manuscripts is one of the most important archives held by the British Library. He corresponded with an extraordinary range of figures: artists (e.g. Thomas Lawrence, Joseph Nollekens), writers (e.g. James Boswell, William Godwin, Elizabeth Inchbald), royalty and politicians (e.g. Prince of Wales, William Wilberforce) and scientists and philosophers (e.g. Joseph Banks, Richard Lovell Edgeworth).
Burney gained a strong reputation as a Greek scholar with several publications. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1802. He made his peace with Cambridge University, which awarded him an MA in 1808 on his ordination as an Anglican priest. He advanced rapidly in the Church of England, becoming rector of the rich living of Cliffe, Kent, and of St Paul’s, Deptford. He also served as a royal chaplain and as a prebendary of Lincoln Cathedral. He died of apoplexy, aged sixty.
Edward Francis (also known as Francesco or Francisco) Burney was born in Worcester on September 7, 1760. He was the son of Richard Burney (1723-1792) and Elizabeth Humphries (c.1720-1771), the brother of Charles Rousseau Burney (1747-1819), the nephew of Charles Burney (1726-1814), and a favourite cousin of Frances Burney (1752-1840)
In 1776, at the age of 16, Edward became a student at the Royal Academy School of Art. He received encouragement from Joshua Reynolds, then-president of the school. Edward exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art from 1780 through 1803. His collection included historical pieces and portraits of friends and family, including his cousin Frances (he was apparently too shy to paint other sitters). PAYMENT OPTIONS
