Sir David Wilkie, R.A. (1785-1841) attributed
The Angel Leaving the Family of Tobias, (after Rembrandt)
Inscribed in pencil on back of picture W1144, and repeated on old mount along with the name Pinkney, Sir David Wilkie, R.A. Tobias and the Angel, after Rembrandt
Pencil, ink and watercolour on paper
Mounted (not framed)
We are grateful to Hamish Miles for his help in cataloguing the picture
This spirited and masterful drawing has traditionally been ascribed to Sir D.Wilkie, R.A., after the Rembrandt of 1637 in the Louvre. Pinkney, the name written on the back of the original mount card may have been that of a former owner of the drawing.
A minister's son, David Wilkie studied painting in Edinburgh, despite his parents' misgivings about the occupation. His ambition led him to London, where he entered the Royal Academy schools. In 1806 he made his name with a modern genre painting, The Village Politicians, beginning a life of much-admired paintings of everyday scenes. In 1822, when exhibiting a wildly popular work, Chelsea Pensioners Reading the Gazette after the Battle of Waterloo, the Royal Academy took the unprecedented step of erecting barriers around it.
Wilkie's style evolved primarily due to study trips abroad. In 1814 and 1821 he visited Paris, Belgium, and The Netherlands, where he studied art by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Titian, and Peter Paul Rubens. As a result, he expressed emotions more sharply, deepened his shadows, and made his colour stronger and his paint smoother. To recuperate from a nervous breakdown after overwork and the deaths of his mother and two brothers, Wilkie spent the mid-1820s in Italy, Austria, Germany and Spain, he was also in Paris again briefly, in 1828. He then adopted a broader style and began working on history paintings, diminishing his popularity among both public and critics. After visiting the Holy Land to research religious paintings, he died and was buried at sea.
