    • Rev. William Louis Beaufort (1771-1849) Painting
      Jul. 29, 2023

      Rev. William Louis Beaufort (1771-1849) Painting

      Est: $600 - $1,200

      For your consideration is this large, framed original painting done by Rev. William Louis Beaufort (1771-1849) titled, "Aynwick Castle Northumberland" circa 1790-1830. William was born in Meath in 1771. His father was the cartographer, diarist and Rector of Navan, the Venerable Daniel Augustus Beaufort. William became an accomplished artist excelling in large scale watercolor paintings and was proficient in drawing in both pencil and pen and ink. His paintings also suggest a keen interest in architecture, as buildings sometimes dominate his compositions. Beaufort became the Canon of Rathcooney, County Cork, and was also the Rector at Glanmire, County Cork, where he died in 1849 at age 78. The painting shows the Aynwick Castle in Northumberland surrounded by a wall of trees and foliage. William used a darker color palate giving the painting a dark theme, but it is beautifully contrasted by the setting sun in the background which casts a golden light over the castle. The painting is set in a large gold gilt with a highly decorated frame featuring a gold colored plaque on the bottom reading, "William Louis Beaufort. British / 1771-1849 / Aynwick Castle Northumberland". The painting shows fair condition as there is a fairly large hole in the bottom middle with small cracks and scratches to the paint throughout. The frame shows good condition with some wear from its antique age and fading paint. The visible art measures 23 1/4" L x 41 1/4" W, while the entire piece measures 30 3/8" L x 48 1/4" W.*

      The Augustinian Abbey, Adare; and Slane Abbey, Co. Meath (illustrated) the first signed, inscribed and dated 'WLB.Oct.18.1810/Adare' (lower left and centre, in the margin); the second signed and dated 'WLB.fec.Aug.1806' (lower left, in the margin) pencil, pen and brown ink and watercolour 91/4 x 93/4 in. (23.5 x 24.8 cm.); and 9 x 101/2 in. (22.8 x 26.7 cm.) (2) NOTES William Louis Beaufort was the son of the map-maker, diarist and Rector of Navan and Collon, the Rev. Daniel Augustus Beaufort. He as a pupil of Nicholas Pocock in Bristol and later in Dublin of a James George O'Brien. He has previously been confused with William Beauford (1735-1819) an amateur antiquarian draftsman, working in Dublin and who contributed to the Antiquities of Ireland, 1790. The Augustinian priory was founded by the Earls of Kildare in the early 14th century. It became and remained the home of the Augustinian Order until they were driven out, in the mid 15th century. The Priory was suppressed and badly damaged during the reign of King Henry VIII. Repaired and renovated during the early part of the 19th century, the building is regarded as a fine example of what a mediaeval Irish church. The present watercolour shows the priory before it was restored. The building has been used as the local Protestant Church since the early 19th century. At Slane are the ruins of a Franciscan Monastery built in 1512 by Christopher Fleming. Above the monastery the hill is dominated by the belltower of Saint Patrick's Church.
