Chinese School, early 19th Century
A group of four works related to St. Helena
watercolour on pith paper, the largest
10 x 15cm
(4)
Footnotes:
Provenance:
Martyn Gregory, London.
Exhibited:
London, Martyn Gregory, Canton and The China Trade, Summer 1986, cat. 43, no. 37.
The subjects of the present lot comprise:
Portrait of Napoleon lying in state, St. Helena, copied after a work by Louis Marchand, Napoleon's valet; New House, Longwood, St. Helena, taken after a composition by Denzil Ibbetson; 'Prospect', the seat of T.H. Brooke Esq, St. Helena, copied after Denzil Ibbetson; and Napoleon's Tomb, St Helena, which shows Napoleon's original tomb before the exhumation in 1840, and the return of his body to France.
The two images taken after Ibbetson were presumably copied from T. H. Brooke's History of the Island of St. Helena, published in 1824. The new house at Longwood was specially constructed for use by Napoleon and parts of it were pre-made in Britain by the Royal Engineers and shipped out. Napoleon, however, rejected the house and lived in Longwood nearby.
