William Sadler II
SESASCAPES (2)
Estimate:
€3,000 - €5,000
William Sadler II, 1782-1839
A PAIR OF SESASCAPES (2)
Oil on panel, a pair, each 7 1/4" x 10" (18.5 x 25.5cm)
Provenance: Cynthia O'Connor Gallery (label verso).
Sadler was born in 1782, his father, also William, was an artist. He contributed to various Dublin exhibitions, from 1809 and sent work to the RHA on three occasion towards the end of his career. In 1838 the auctioneer C. Bennett sold the 'entir[ity] of last year's paintings' which included an Eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Burning of the Royal Exchange, Wreck of the Killarney and Burning of the Arcade in College Green. He died at home in Mander's Buildings, Ranelagh, the following year.
Sadler's view of the Irish landscape was resolutely of the post-Union decades in which he lived. His was a middle-class vision, quite different from the lofty sublimity of George Barret, or the aristocratic idylls of Thomas Roberts while at the same time he acts as an important link between the eighteenth-century tradition of landscape and the romanticism of his presumed pupil James Arthur O'Connor. Sadler painted the Dublin of the early nineteenth century with great affection and a journalist's eye for detail and incident. Although he also portrayed sites in Kerry and Westmeath, Dublin and its surroundings was the milieu in which he felt most at home. He was to document the city and its suburbs in a series of carefully observed works which have a great sense of immediacy and truth. The sheer variety of Sadler's output in a period of increasing artistic specialisation is remarkable. From the drama of classical myth to, as here, the mundanity of shipping off the Irish coast, Sadler retains throughout his gently ironic, sometimes quirky and always idiosyncratic vision.
