George Richmond, R.A., (1809-96)
The Head of a Horse (after Raphael)
Pencil with red chalk on paper.
Signed with initials 'GR' in pencil.
Inscribed in pencil From a large Cartoon of Raphael at Oxford / study for the Heliodorus / GR.
Framed and glazed.
Provenance By descent in the Richmond family.
Painter and miniaturist. George Richmond studied at the Royal Academy Schools where he met and formed a lifelong friendship with Samuel Palmer. As a youth he became a disciple of William Blake who had a profound effect on his art. With Palmer and Edward Calvert he formed 'The Ancients', painting visionary works in the manner of Blake. Throughout this time Richmond practised as a miniaturist and this work dates to the end of his 'Ancients' period in 1830. After his marriage in 1831, Richmond concentrated on portraiture, becoming one of the most prolific portraitists of the Victorian period.
During the 1840s-50s, Richmond was a frequent visitor to the The Oxford University Art Collection and helped to hang pictures at the gallery. The original sketch, 'The Head of a Horse' by Raphael was entered into the Oxford collection in 1846 and is now at the Ashmolean Museum. The original drawing consists of Black chalk on varnished paper which measures 68.2 x 53.3 cm.
The drawing belongs to a rearing horse in the fresco that Raphael painted in the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican. It is located in the room that takes its name from it, the Stanza di Eliodoro. The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple was painted between 1511 and 1512 as part of Raphael's commission to decorate ‘with frescoes’ the rooms that are now known as the Stanze di Raffaello,
The Expulsion of Heliodorus from the Temple illustrates the biblical episode from 2 Maccabees. Heliodorus is ordered by Seleucus IV Philopator, the king of Syria, to seize the treasure preserved in the Temple in Jerusalem. Answering the prayers of the high priest Onias, God sends a horseman assisted by two youths to drive Heliodorus out.
