About the Item

Henry George Todd British, (1847-1898) Autumn’s Bounty Oil on canvas, signed dated 1897 Image size: 31.25 inches x 25.5 inches Size including frame: 37.75 inches x 32 inches Provenance: Mandell’s Gallery, Norwich A wonderful autumnal still life painting of fruit by Henry George Todd. Grapes, peaches and plums can be seen arranged in a silver dessert dish and wicker basket perched on a marble ledge. Other fruit are shown resting on the edge of the carved stone table and also draped across a green velvet hanging. Rising up next to the fruit arrangement and framed within an alcove is an ornate silver gilt ewer. Wind fallen amber and gold vine leaves are also depicted nestled amongst the fruit to complete the autumnal feel. The painting was owned by Mandell’s Gallery in Norwich who ran a number of exhibitions of Suffolk artists from the late 1970’s until the 1990’s which featured Todd’s work. Henry Todd was a still life painter, who was born in Bury St Edmunds on 20 January, 1847. He was the son of George Todd, an ornamental painter and decorator with premises in St Andrews Street Bury St Edmunds. He began his early career as his father’s apprentice training in decorating, sign-writing and gilding where his talent for art emerged. At the age of 18, he left his apprenticeship to attend the Royal Kensington School of Art where he studied the Dutch Masters and developed his artistic talent. After returning to Bury St Edmunds he continued working for his father’s business before leaving to join Stearns, a prestigious decorators firm in Ipswich. There he earned a reputation for painting shop-fronts for local traders which were considered by many as works of art. Whilst in Ipswich he boarded with Mary Schulen, an earthenware pottery dealer at 1 Rope Walk. During his spare time, he continued to produce meticulously painted still lifes as well as landscape views of Suffolk. He became well known for his still life works, especially of fruit and his ability to paint grapes. Todd Married Ellen Lucy Quinton in 1872 and they lived at 6 Cumberland Terrace, Bramford Road in Ipswich before moving to Croft Street. From 1875, he appears to have been working as a full time artist and began exhibiting regularly at the Ipswich Fine Art Society. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy, Suffolk Street Galleries, the Dudley Gallery and the Royal Society of British Artists from 1885-1898. He died aged 51 at 46 Croft Street, Ipswich on June 30, 1898 and is buried in Ipswich cemetery. A number of his works can be found in the Colchester and Ipswich Museum as well as the Bury museum. Presentation: The painting is housed in a new, English made gilt frame which is in excellent condition. The reverse bears a label for Mandell’s Gallery, a fine art dealership based at Elm Hill, Norwich, NR3 1HN and founded by Geoffrey Allen. It was opened in 1966 and originally specialised in the Norwich School of Painters. For a time they also were associated with the Polak Gallery, London. Condition: As with all of our original antique oil paintings, this work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having just been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished. © Benton Fine Art

19th century English oil of still life of fruit, German Stein with silver lid
By CHARLES THOMAS BALE
Located in Woodbury, CT
Outstanding English 19th century still life of fruit, a German Stein with silver top in an interior. Charles Thomas Bale was born in Soho, London in 1849, the son of Thomas Bale, a basket maker. His older brother Thomas Charles Bale (1831-1899) was an artist and picture restorer. He lived with his family in St James, Westminster and although little is known about his education, he would have undoubtedly received encouragement and drawing tuition from his brother. Bale started exhibiting in 1866 at the Institute of British Artists, Suffolk Street. He also exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1872, the same year he married Caroline Leathem. Together, they spent their married life in St Pancras. He specialized in still life paintings predominantly of fruit, but he frequently incorporated baskets, a homage to his family’s profession, as well as pottery, glass, and game. Bale’s work was influenced by the English still-life artists George Lance and William Duffield...
