| 436 | ALEXANDER MUNRO RA: A white marble bust of Kenneth James Matheson (Second Baronet of Lochalsh) looking slightly to dexter and wearing a shirt with a lace collar and tassels, on a marble socle, 20" high. See illustration Provenance: Alexander Matheson, later Sir Alexander Matheson, and thence by descent to the vendors. Exhibited: Inverness Museum and Art Gallery from 1994 until August 2008 The Birmingham City Art Gallery, Janaury - March 1992 - "Pre-Raphaelite Sculpture: Nature and the Imagination in British Sculpture 1848-1914". According to Rupert Gunnis in "Dictionary of British Sculptors 1660-1851": "Alexander Munro's father was a stonemason employed on the Duke of Sutherland's property in Scotland and his artistic abilities were brought to the notice of Harriet, Duchess of Sutherland, wife of the Second Duke, who assisted in his education". In 1848 she brought the young man to London and introduced him to Sir Charles Barry, who employed him on the sculpted works intended for the Houses of Parliament which were then under construction. Munro soon turned to portrait-sculpture and produced a number of busts. According to Redgrave his works were of "true genius and feeling and graceful and spirited". It is as a sculptor of children, however, that he is celebrated and Rupert Gunnis refers to a number of groups including "the Matheson children" (1861). Alexander Munro is regarded as a pre-Raphaelite sculptor. He met Rossetti at the Royal Academy, who confided in Munro about his secret signing of the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood. His work embodies the ideals of the pre-Raphaelites combining formal purism that harks back to early Italian Renaissance models with the realism of Holman Hunt and Millais. Between 1852 and 1858 he lived with another pre-Raphaelite, Arthur Hughes. Kenneth Matheson (1854-1920) was the eldest son of Alexander Matheson, who returned from a successful business career in China to become a leading Scottish landowner and MP for Inverness Burghs. In 1882 he became First Baronet of Lochalsh. Kenneth and Mary (see lot 437) were his children by his second wife, Lavinia Mary Stapleton, who died tragically by drowning in Loch Duich on her way to church in 1855. They were brought up by their Great Aunt until their father remarried in 1860, apparently the year in which this bust and lot 437 were executed. See lot 437. £3000-6000 | Nil |
