Robert Gallon

Robert Gallon (British, 1845-1925) In Yeend King's garden bears label on reverse 'In Yeend King's garden, 7th August 1897, Nature Sketch by Robert Gallon, Listed by the Artist in his records as no. 356' oil on panel, unframed 20.3 x 30.5cm (8 x 12in). PROVENANCE : Private collection, U.K. Robert Gallon was a painter mainly of landscapes throughout England, Scotland and Wales and exhibited 32 pictures at the Royal Academy and 27 at the British Institution. He painted in a realistic style similar to Benjamin Williams Leader. Henry John Yeend King was a late 19th century painter of pretty girls in country settings and exhibited 93 pictures at the Royal Academy. In 1898 (the year after our picture was painted), his picture Milking Time was bought by the Tate Gallery. Yeend King was married to the sister of Robert Gallon's wife, so presumably this picture was painted at a family gathering and this beautiful, fluid picture has added immediacy from having been painted 'en pleine air'.

Add. Notes: signed 'R. GALLON' (lower left) oil on canvas 20 x 30 in. (50.7 x 76.3 cm.)
Notes: La Danseuse au Soleil noir is related to the later print Le Cracheur de Flammes (D. 650), but is presented in a landscape rather than a portrait format, and also bears differences in the background colours. This is confirmed by the certificate written in pencil by the director of the Fondació Miró on the reverse of the sheet. As this is the Bon í  Tirer impression for an edition which was not executed, it may be presumed to be unique.
