Arthur Delaney - Albert Square, Manchester [1975]

Arthur Delaney (Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester, December 9, 1927 - Manchester Royal Infirmary, April 17, 1987) was an English painter whose scenes of Manchester life were influenced by those of L. S. Lowry, gaining some popularity since his death. His paintings were not stylised but a true likeness to their location. He set out to capture the atmosphere of the 1930s and all of his paintings capture the nostalgia of the period. In April 1974 he held a very successful one-man show at the Tib Lane Gallery in Manchester, with all the pictures selling within half an hour at the preview.

Workshop of Peter Paul Rubens - Andromeda [c.1640s]

Peter Paul Rubens often painted multiple versions of paintings, and many contemporary and later copies also often survive. Rubens frequently called upon his sizeable workshop to execute his large-scale works, and his enormous popularity in his own and succeeding centuries encouraged the proliferation of copies. This artist emulated Rubens's fluid handling, vigorous contours, and Andromeda's subtle contrapposto pose. Scholars think that seven versions of Andromeda were made, although only three are known today. The other two versions of this subject include Perseus as well as an assisting angel. In this scene, Andromeda tearfully welcomes the angel, who will melt the chain with fire.

Godfried Schalcken - The Annunciation [c.1660-65]

This finely painted work depicts the Annunciation: the Archangel Gabriel announcing to the Virgin Mary that she has been chosen to become the mother of Christ. In a rather personal interpretation of the theme, Godfried Schalcken   (Dutch, 1643 - 1706) represented Mary as a young Dutch woman in contemporary dress, holding a loose scroll rather than the traditional book. The swirling clouds at his knees, the pointing gesture, and the bright light around the angel's head betray Gabriel's spiritual status, for he has no wings or traditional symbols to identify him as God's messenger. Bright light illuminates Mary's thoughtful face. Schalcken delicately manipulated light and shadow to describe the folds in Gabriel's white gown and the shadows cast by his outstretched right arm and tilted head. The small size, high degree of finish, and unconventional treatment of the subject matter indicate that the painting was intended for private devotion.

George Romney - Portrait of Lady Caroline Price [1774]

Along with Sir Joshua Reynolds, George Romney was one of the most prominent portraitists of the eighteenth century. His paintings such as the present work are characterised by fashionable costume, beautiful colour, and graceful brushwork. Sitting with a sense of poise befitting her stature, Lady Price modestly averts her gaze to her right. Her white ruffled bodice is quickly and expertly described with masterful brushstrokes. Light pours into the space, playing off of the rich texture of the lady's plumed, blue ribbon hat.

Giacomo Ceruti - Portrait of a Print Seller [c.1730s]

Il Pitocchetto or "Little Beggar" was the artistic nickname of Giacomo Ceruti (1698 - 1767), a Northern Italian painter who established himself in Brescia as a portraitist, a painter of religious images, but most significantly as a specialist in sympathetic paintings of low life subjects. He had a portraitist's ability to evoke a powerful presence from a wide variety of physical types, such that the distinctions between genre painting and portraiture are often nearly obscured in his work. Rather than stock types, Ceruti seems to have painted actual individuals. Indeed, in paintings that feature just a single figure seen at close range, at the half or three-quarter length scale that is generally reserved for aristocratic portraiture, Ceruti is often at his very finest.

Pietro Paolini - Achilles Among the Daughters of Lycomedes [c.1625-30]

Achilles, dressed in women's clothing, holds a shield while admiring a sword. Based on ancient legend, Achilles' mother, knowing that her son would die if he fought in the Trojan War, disguised him as a woman and entrusted him to King Lycomedes' household, where he lived among the king's daughters. When war threatened, Ulysses and other Greek chieftains were sent to fetch him, knowing they had to trick him into revealing himself. Cunningly, they deposited a heap of gifts before the women: jewellery, clothes, and other finery, but also a sword and shield. When it came time to select from the gifts, Achilles instinctively grasped the weapons, thus revealing his true identity.

Howard Pyle - ‘And who's going to support 'em?' demanded Mrs. Barkley [1898]

According to a Statement of Provenance, Norman Rockwell purchased this Howard Pyle work from a well-known dealer of American illustration art, Helen Card, in the 1950s, and this wonderful scene remained in Rockwell's collection until his death in 1978. Rockwell's appreciation of Pyle, truly the father of American illustration art, and the profound influence of this most revered master illustrator is illuminated in the Norman Rockwell Museum publication, Off His Walls Selections from the Personal Art Collection of Norman Rockwell. "My hero was Howard Pyle. His pictures always seemed to tell a story. When I looked at one of Pyle's pictures, it was always crammed with detail, each one important to the whole picture and the tale it illustrated." He spoke of Pyle as "an historian with a brush." Such remarks reveal a link between Rockwell and the Golden Age illustrators.
