Hand-colored steel engraving of a the Turkish section of the Great Exhibition of 1851 by Lowes Cato Dickinson (British, 1819-1908). In 1854, the Dickinson Brothers of New Bond St. published a collection of fifty-five large colored lithographs under the title of "Comprehensive Pictures of the Great Exhibition of 1851". The brightly colored lithographic prints were taken from a series of paintings commissioned by Prince Albert of the various displays and galleries on show at the Crystal Palace during the Great Exhibition of 1851. On verso is a tag with information about the piece. Presented in a new mat and modern gold frame. Image size: 15"H x 20"W Dickinsons of New Bond Street, London, was a family firm of artists, lithographic print makers and publishers, which was established in the early 1820s by the stationer and print-seller Joseph Dickinson (1780-1849). Joseph Dickinson was the father of thirteen children and at least four of his sons went on to become painters, lithographic artists and photographers. Around 1844, Joseph Dickinson's eldest surviving son William Robert Dickinson (1815-1887), generally known as W. Robert or Robert Dickinson, joined his father as a junior partner in the family business and from this date the firm was styled "Dickinson & Son". Another son, Lowes Cato Dickinson (1819-1908) became an artist and during the 1840s he either drew portraits or created lithographic prints from the work of other portrait painters, which were published as prints by his father's firm. Lowes Cato Dickinson later became an established portrait artist, exhibiting 110 portraits in oils and crayons at the Royal Academy between 1848 and 1891. After the death of Joseph Dickinson in 1849, the family firm was inherited by his three eldest surviving sons - William Robert Dickinson (1815-1887), Lowes Cato Dickinson (1819-1908) and Gilbert Bell Dickinson (1825-1908). Under the name of Dickinson Brothers, the three brothers continued to produce lithographic prints and portraits at their business premises at 114 New Bond Street, London. Lowes Cato Dickinson was born in Kilburn, North London, on 27th November 1819, the fourth child and second eldest surviving son of Ann Rowden Carter and Joseph Dickinson, a stationer, print-seller and lithographic publisher. Lowes Cato Dickinson received his unusual first name courtesy of his paternal grandmother Mrs Jane Lowes Dickinson. Lowes Cato Dickinson showed artistic talent at an early age and when he was in his early twenties he was producing lithographic portraits for his father's print publishing business in Old Bond Street, London. Between 1850 and 1853 Lowes Cato Dickinson studied art in Italy under the patronage of Sir Robert Michael Laffan (1821-1882), an Irish military officer and engineer. Returning to England in 1853, Lowes Cato Dickinson took a studio in Portland Place, London. Whilst working as an artist in London, Lowes Cato Dickinson made the acquaintance of the artist Ford Madox Brown (1821-1893), the painter John Everett Millais (1829-1896), the artist and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), the writer and art critic William Michael Rosetti (1829-1919) and other members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. On 15th October 1857, Lowes Cato Dickinson married Margaret Ellen Williams (born 1826, London). The couple went on to produce a number of children, at least five of whom reached adulthood - Arthur Lowes Dickinson (born 8th August 1859, Marylebone, London), Margaret May Dickinson (born 1861, Marylebone, London), Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson (born 6th August 1862, Marylebone, London), Hester Fanny Dickinson (born 1865, Hanwell, Middlesex) and Janet E. L. Dickinson (born 1866, Marylebone, London). At the time of his marriage, Lowes Cato Dickinson was an established portrait painter. Lowes Dickinson went on to exhibit over a hundred oil paintings and crayon drawings at the Royal Academy between 1848 and 1891. When the 1861 census was taken, Lowes Dickinson was residing with his wife (Margaret) Ellen and their two young children at Langham Chambers, Portland Place, St Marylebone, London. On the census return, Lowes Dickinson is described as a forty-one year old "Artist & Painter". In 1864, Lowes Dickinson, together with his wife Margaret Ellen and their three children, Arthur, Margaret and Goldsworthy, moved to the west London district of Hanwell in Middlesex. Hanwell was located in a rural area, and according to a contemporary description was set in "beautiful and picturesque scenery", yet it had its own railway station and was situated less than 8 miles west of Paddington. Lowes Dickinson resided with his family at Spring Cottage, Hanwell. A daughter, Hester Fanny Dickinson, was born in Hanwell during the first quarter of 1865. When the census was taken six years later on 2nd April 1871, Lowes Dickinson and his wife Margaret were residing at Spring Cottage, Hanwell with their five surviving children - Arthur (aged 11), Margaret May (aged 10), Goldsworthy (aged 8), Hester (aged 6) and Janet Dickinson (aged 4). On the census return Lowes Cato Dickinson is recorded as a fifty-one year old "Artist & Portrait Painter". In 1879, Lowes Dickinson and his family moved into a newly-built house at No. 1, All Souls Place, Langham Place, Hanwell. When the census was carried out on 3rd April 1881, Lowes Cato Dickinson, described as a sixty-one year old "Artist-Painter" was up in Scotland, visiting the family of Archibald Campbell, a steel manufacturer of Barony, Lanark. At the time of the 1881 census, the artist's spouse, fifty-four year old Mrs 'Millie' Dickinson, described on the return as a "Portrait Painter's Wife", was recorded at 1, All Saints Place, Hanwell, with her three daughters. Both of Lowes Dickinson's sons were living away from home - Arthur Lowes Dickinson was an undergraduate studying Mathematics at King's College, Cambridge, and eighteen year old Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson was boarding at Charterhouse School in Godalming, Surrey. less

A mediados del siglo XIX tres jóvenes de poco más de veinte años iniciaron un movimiento pictórico conocido como Hermandad Pre-Rafealita (PRB). John everett Millais (1829-1896), Willian Holman Hunt (1827-1910) y Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) fueron los fundadores de un nuevo e interesante esfuerzo creador por alejarse de lo que consideraban los rigores y encorsetamientos que exigía la Academia Real (como posteriormente harían los impresionistas en Francia, y otros muchos después con las futuras vanguardias). Su espíritu, imbuido más de lo que podrían sospechar del de su época, puso el acento en una mirada idealizada de la Edad Media y en superar estéticas que creían ya amortizadas. William Michael Rossetti -hermano de Gabriel- sintetizó los ideales del nuevo grupo en las siguientes premisas: "1.Expresar ideas autenticas; 2. estudiar atentamente la naturaleza, para saber como expresar la idea; 3. simpatizar con lo inmediato, con lo serio y con lo que se siente de corazón en el arte previo, al mismo tiempo que se excluye lo convencional, lo autocomplaciente y lo que se ha aprendido de memoria; y 4. lo más indispensable de todo: hacer buenos cuadros y esculturas" (Lisa Tickner, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, 2003). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QMQmccid3Y&spfreload=10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTWG9Nkz6pU Dante Gabriel Rossetti. John Everett Millais. William Holman Hunt. Evidentemente no todo fue agua de rosas en su camino ya que si bien algunos cuadros iniciales tuvieron muy buena acogida, otros fueron mucho más difíciles de vender y, por descontado, algunos encontraron acervas críticas por parte de la crítica más conservadora (aunque hoy en día cueste algo entender el por qué de éstas). El Times, según Heather Birchall, pontificó: "..un grupo de artistas que se estilizan a sí mismos llamándose PRB....presentan un rechazo absoluto de la perspectiva y de las leyes de luces y sombras, una aversión contra la belleza en todas sus facetas, y una singular inclinación por los más nimios accidentes de los temas" El movimiento en sí duró unos pocos años (empezó en 1848 y terminó a mediados de la década de los cincuenta), pero su influencia fue superior a lo que algunos le auguraron y se extendió a otros muchos pintores a la vez que influyó en otras latitudes más allá del mundo anglosajón. Las atmósferas que plasmaron los prerrafaelistas, ciertamente nostálgicas y evocadoras, fueron capaces de inspirar algo más que simples sentimientos románticos o una cierta auto-complacencia estética: en muchos de sus lienzos se podían encontrar alegorías y simbolismos realmente muy elaborados y, sin duda, una capacidad técnica ciertamente envidiable -que causa todavía hoy en día admiración - (tuvieron comentarios elogiosos en su momento como las del "pope" del arte victoriano John Ruskin. ¡No todo fueron críticas!). Ford Madox Brown, que fue profesor de Rossetti no se unió formalmente a la exclusiva Hermandad, pero fue uno de sus más destacados representantes porque, al igual que ellos -y como también William Morris y otros seguidores-, consideraban prioritario encauzar al arte hacia caminos y términos que lo alejasen de los reduccionismos cualitativos con los que amenazaba el éxito replicador de la producción industrial masiva.

Artist: Alfred William Hunt (English,1830-1896) Title: Thun Medium: Antique engraving on wove paper after the original watercolor by master engraver Edward Paxman Brandard (British, 1819-1898). Year: 1885 Condition: Excellent Dimensions: Image size 6 x 8 1/4 inches.. Framed Dimensions: Approximately 15 x 17 inches. Framing This piece has been professionally matted and framed using all new materials Additional Notes: This is not a modern print. This engraving is more than 130 years old. The strike is crisp and the lines are sharp. Artist Biography: Alfred William Hunt was an English painter. He was son of Andrew Hunt, a landscape painter. Hunt was born in Liverpool in 1830. He began to paint while at the Liverpool Collegiate School. However at his father's suggestion he went in 1848 to Corpus Christi College, Oxford to study classics. His career there was distinguished; he won the Newdigate Prize in 1851 for his poem "Nineveh", and became a Fellow of Corpus in 1857. He did not, however, abandon his artistic practice for, encouraged by Ruskin, he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1854, and afterwards contributed landscapes in oil and water-colour to London and other provincial exhibitions. In 1861 he married, gave up his Fellowship, and in 1862 was elected as an Associate of the Old Water-Colour Society, receiving full membership in 1864. His work is distinguished mainly by its exquisite quality and a poetic rendering of atmosphere. He was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and the extraordinary detail apparent in his landscapes and the careful rendering of grass, leaves and trees is a consequence of this. His wife Margaret Raine Hunt wrote several works of fiction; and one of her daughters, Violet Hunt, is well known as a novelist. His niece, Jessie MacGregor has paintings in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.
