Attr. Edward William Cooke (1811-1880) British, Oil on Canvas
Est: $1,000 - $2,000
Attributed to Edward William Cooke (1811-1880) British, Oil on Canvas. Title: "Breaming a Calais Lugger." Breaming was a method of cleaning a ship's bottom by careening, then burning off the barnacles. Overall: 27 1/2 X 33 1/2 in. Sight: 18 3/4 X 24 1/2 in. Depth: 2 3/4 in. #2701 . Edward William Cooke, RA, FRS, FZS, FSA, FGS was born on March 27th, 1811 in Pentonville, London. He was the son of a well-known line engraver named George Cooke; his uncle, William Bernard Cooke (1778-1855), was also a line engraver of significance, and Edward was raised in the company of artists. He was a precocious draftsman and a skilled engraver from an early age, and many of his earlier drawings favored Dutch pastoral landscapes and animal subjects. He published a series of engravings entitled “Shipping and Craft” in 1829, when he was just 18. He benefited from the advice of many of his father’s associates, notably Clarkson Stanfield (who became his primary mentor) and David Roberts. Cooke began painting in oils in 1833 and took formal lessons from James Stark starting the next year. He first exhibited at both the Royal Academy and British Institution in 1835, by which time his style was essentially formed and growing in recognition. He visited the Netherlands in 1837, where his marine images greatly increased. He divided the next 23 years between the two countries, studying the effects of light on differing coastal landscapes. His later years included travels to Scandinavia, Spain, North Africa, and particularly to Venice. In 1858 he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Honorary Academician. A polymath, he also developed serious natural history and geological interests, becoming a Fellow of the Linnean Society, Geological Society, Zoological Society, and of the Society of Antiquaries. He died in London on January 4th, 1880.

Provenance: Anon. sale, Sotheby's, London, 10 July 1997, lot 147 (as 'An album of sketches.').; The Collection of Sir Nicholas Goodison. Note: Edward William Cooke was born into an artistic family, the son of the engraver George Cooke (1781-1834). He was a talented child artist and by the age of nine was already executing wood engravings of plants for publication. At the age of fourteen he met Clarkson Stanfield, RA (1793-1867) and began a lifelong interest in sketching boats. He also began to study architecture under Augustus Pugin (1812-1852), but did not pursue this as he preferred marine subjects. He was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy in 1851 and a full member in 1864. The other great interests in his life were botany and geology, and he was elected a Fellow of the Linnaean Society in 1857, Fellow of the Geological Society in 1862 and Fellow of the Royal Society (an unusual accolade for a painter) in 1863. Cooke was an inveterate traveller, visiting Europe on many occasions between 1824 and 1879 (for further details see J. Munday, E.W. Cooke 1811-1880 A Man of his Time, Woodbridge, Suffolk, 1996, p. 364, appendix 4) and a dedicated diarist, beginning when he was 17 and continuing until a few weeks before his death. His itinerary on his many foreign trips are carefully recorded and these match up with the dates on his sketches. The drawings which are dated October are from his second Venetian tour in 1851. He left Folkestone on 11 August, travelling to Paris and then on to the Swiss Alps, journeying on to the Italian lakes and then Verona and Venice where John and Effie Ruskin were also staying. He remained there before returning home in December. Thirteen drawings are from a three-and-a-half-month trip, beginning on 1 January to Egypt, see Munday, op.cit., pp. 207 for a detailed itinerary. Cooke's expedition to Egypt was to be a geological-cum-antiquarian excursion as well as a painting trip along the Nile. He travelled on the P & O steamer Simla, in the company of Professor Richard Owen and Mr John Fowler, engineering adviser to Khedive Ismail Pasha and encountered other British visitors such as the artist Hercules Brabazon Brabazon (1821-1906). Cooke was clearly delighted by the sites of Egypt and he planned another painting trip there at the end of the same year. The remaining sketches are figure and architectural studies, many of buildings in Venice and these show his continued interest in architecture. His obituary, published in The Gardener's Chronicle, 10 January 1880 concluded, 'In his pictures ... the work by which he achieved fame and fortune-his mental characteristics may be traced- his love of truth, his accurate observation and fidelity in reproducing them. Many of his pictures are scientific lesson-books: the dip of the strata, the grains of the sand, the shapes of the leaves, the curvature of the trunks of the Palm trees, the form of rain clouds, the line of the waves, and hundreds of such instances betoken, not only the artist, but the man of science. There is an amount of absolute truth about them, apart from imagination, which will give his picture a permanent value beyond that of many of his contemporaries.' The present group of sketches, carefully preserved and mounted, reveal Cooke's skilful draughtsmanship and the discerning mind of an archetypal enquiring Victorian gentleman.
