James Smetham – Study for the painting ‘Pandora’
James Smetham – Study for the painting ‘Pandora’ c.1865
Studies from an album of scraps from sketch books by Jas. Smetham.
Study for the painting ‘Pandora’ c.1865: Brown ink on buff paper.
Backing paper: Blue Ingres, laid (1).
Provenance: A transcript of a letter written by the artist’s daughter will be included in the sale.
Note: In her book: James Smetham, Artist, Author Pre-Raphaelite Associate. Aldershot, U.K.: Scholar Press, 1995. Susan Casteras has described this picture as: ”an imaginative half-length portrait of a woman, with Rossettian tracts such as emblematic props and flowers, off-set by a phlegmatic, rather non-sensual expression” (86). Pandora wears a wreath, possibly of laurel leaves, and holds a small bouquet of unidentified flowers in her left hand. These were likely included for symbolic purposes. The model for Pandora was Ellen Smith who also posed for Rossetti at this time. c.1865. Oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches (76.5 x 61 cm). Private collection.
James Smetham (1821-1889) produced over four hundred paintings during his lifetime. Like his good friend Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who was a major influence on his art, Smetham was a poet as well as a painter. He also wrote criticisms and recorded fascinating details on many celebrated personages of his day. His paintings ranged from portraits to Biblical interpretations, arcadian vignettes and landscapes. Smetham had great hopes and complicated theories about how audiences would understand and buy his art, but he was sadly disappointed with critical response. However, he received praise from some eminent contemporaries like John Ruskin, George Frederick Watts and Dante Gabriel Rossetti who hailed his friends' paintings as "the flower of modern art".
