Good VF, lightly toned. “During the late Napoleonic era, Zara (modern-day Zadar in Croatia) was part of the Illyrian Provinces, a group of states located between Austria and the Adriatic Sea. In the early 1800s, the area was held by Austria, which was embroiled in the Napoleonic Wars. After its defeat at the Battle of Wagram, Austria ceded the territory to France in the 1809 Treaty of Schönbrunn. In an attempt to take back its lost territory, in 1813 Austria declared war on France. When the Austrian General Franz Tomassich entered the Illyrian Provinces, many Croatian soldiers abandoned their French commanders and joined him. After a 34-day siege, the Austrians succeeded in capturing Zara from the French on 6 December 1813. This piece was produced by the French garrison that held the town during the siege. A similar example, appearing in Gorny & Mosch 123 (11 March 2003), lot 4589, realized €1700.” CNG Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0

CAPTAIN JACK AUBREY — Captain William Bentinck, 1764-1813 RMG BHC2551.tiff Captain William Bentinck, 1764-1813 A half-length portrait to left in captain’s full-dress uniform, 1787-95. The son of Captain John Bentinck, the inventor, he was promoted captain of the ‘Assistance’, ‘50 guns, as early as 1783. He later commanded a frigate at the Battle of the Glorious First of June, 1794, and gained promotion to flag rank. Bentinck sat to Romney in October and November 1787 and June 1788. The artist was an important portrait
painter of the late 18th century, generally ranked third after Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough. He was in Paris in 1764 and in 1773 moved to Italy for two years, where he became interested in history paintings in the elevated and élitist ‘Grand Manner’. This developed into improving upon nature and the pursuit of perfect form. At its best his work demonstrated refinement, sensitivity and elegance, although it could also be repetitive and monotonous. As a society painter he typified late-18th-century English artists who, compelled by the conditions of patronage to spend their time in producing portraits, could only aspire to imaginative and ideal painting. By 1780 Romney’s portraits, according to Horace Walpole, were ‘in great vogue’ and he worked in an increasingly neo-classical style. See also BHC2550 for a portrait of Bentinck as a child, with his father. George Romney Public Domain
