The Spring Festival depicting two female figures dancing and holding tambourines aloft, on a circular naturalistic base signed 'T. Nelson Maclean Sculpt. 1881' and inscribed 'Suggested by Alma Tadema's Picture' 29 in. (73 cm.) high Published by Bellman & Ivey PROVENANCE with William Doyle Galleries, New York, 21 March 1979, no. 758, when acquired by the present owner. LITERATURE J. A. Blaikie, 'An English Sculptor', Magazine of Art, 1886, pp. 233-8. S. Beattie, The New Sculpture, Yale, 1983, pp. 137 & 259, no. 17. EXHIBITION Another cast was exhibited by Bellman & Ivey, London, 1885, no. 35. NOTES Inspired by Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema's painting On the Road to the Temple of Ceres (lot 25), that exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1880, the bronze was cast in Paris from the original study for a life-size marble group. The casting, publication and exhibition of this group was pioneering exercise by Maclean and Bellman & Ivey. Blaikie, reviewing the 1885 exhibition in the Magazine of Art remarked on the fact 'That sculpture may be reproduced and published, just as paintings are, is something of a revelation to many who gladly hear the message that exhorts them to surround themselves with beautiful objects. At Mr Maclean's exhibition this fact was clearly established, that by means of artistic reproduction in bronze the most beautiful creations of contemporary sculpture may take their rightful place among etchings, drawings and other objects of decoration.' Susan Beattie also noted that Maclean was 'active in promoting small-scale, domestic sculpture and was among the first to reflect the influence of contemporary painting' ( op. cit., p. 137).

THOMAS NELSON MACLEAN (BRITISH, 1845-1894) COMEDY
Est: -
Signed and dated T. MacLean Sculpt 1885 White marble 147 cm (57 3/4 in) MacLean's sculptures represent an intermediate style between late neo-classicism and New Sculpture. He was apprenticed to Carrier-Belleuse in Paris, which gave his work an element of French assurance he was never to lose, and he worked with Armstead after 1870. He was influenced by painters such as Albert Moore and Alma-Tadma; he reproduced the two dancers in the latter's Spring Festival in bronze and marble. MacLean exhibited a marble statuette of Comedy at the Royal Academy Summer exhibition in 1886, which also included Leighton`s Sluggard, Gilbert`s Enchanted Chair, Onslow Ford's Folly and Thornycroft's Sower. The style of this piece follows the idiom the sculptor established with his 1870 figure of Clio and continued to explore with his pendant to Comedy, the statue of Tragedy (RA 1887) and Pandora (RA 1888). Comedy dates from the time of Maclean's increasing fame and his involvement with the new gallery of Bellman & Ivey in Piccadilly which held an exhibition entirely of his work in 1885. Maclean continued to exhibit at the Royal Academy until 1891 when he retired to Italy. Comparative Literature: Bellman & Ivey, Sculpture Marble-Bronze-Terracotta by T. Nelson MacLean, exhibition catalogue with introduction by T. Humphrey Ward, London, 1885. S. Beattie, The New Sculpture, 1983, pp185-6, 247.
