When Paul Mellon died in February 1999, he left the Center nearly three hundred paintings, sixty-four mostly small-scale sculptures, large numbers of drawings and prints, and a magnificent group of rare books. These were the works he chose to keep for his own pleasure until the end of his life, and they represent the more personal side of his great British collection. To the vast array of his gifts to the Center since its opening in 1977, they brought a firmer sense of his own life, character, and interests. — —
Mellon’s passion for English country life was rooted in childhood experiences: his aversion to the grim, moneymaking world of his unresponsive father, his happy early visits to England, homeland of his mother. For him England was truly a green and pleasant land. Taken together, the works in the bequest present an idyllic vision of the place, green and fresh, a paradise of hunting, shooting, fishing, and horse racing. — —
This exhibition included about 150 paintings from the bequest, with a complementary selection of sculptures, drawings, and rare books. Among the highlights were eleven paintings by George Stubbs, eighteen oil sketches by John Constable, a small painting on copper by William Blake, and nine paintings, largely of equine subjects, by the early twentieth-century painter Robert Bevan. — —
Credits — —
Malcolm Warner, a former Curator of Paintings and Sculpture at the Center, curated the exhibition, which was accompanied by a published illustrated catalogue. — —

Paul Mellon collected George Stubbs with a passion and an instinctual feel for his qualities. The very first painting Mellon ever purchased was Stubbs’s Pumpkin with a Stable-Lad (1774). He also collected Stubbs comprehensively, even systematically, acquiring drawings, prints, enamels, and Stubbs’s only publication, The Anatomy of the Horse. There is a range and a depth to this collection that no other public or private collection can rival. — —
The Center published a handsome, fully-illustrated book to accompany this exhibition. Designed by Greer Allen and Julie Lavorgna, it has an introductory essay by Malcolm Cormack, Paul Mellon Curator at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and contributions by the curatorial staff of the Center. The book formed part of the Center’s tribute to its munificent founder and brought together for the first time the most remarkable and comprehensive collection of George Stubbs ever created. — —

In Labourers, George Stubbs depicts a team of brickmakers in the midst of a dispute about the backboard of their cart. This enamel is the third in a group of works based on the same composition. The first was an oil painting made in 1767 for George Byng, fourth Viscount Torrington, as part of a series depicting servants at his estate in Bedfordshire. The master potter Josiah Wedgewood was deeply impressed by the second version, also painted in oils, which he saw in the Royal Academy exhibition of 1779; the experience led Wedgwood to commission portraits of himself and his wife, Sarah, from Stubbs, rather than from Joseph Wright of Derby. For large-scale enamels such as Labourers and Reapers, Stubbs used ceramic plaques developed by Wedgwood especially for the purpose, and he came to prefer these over the copper sheets he had used for earlier enamels such as Lion and Lioness.\n\n

By the mid-1760s Stubbs had achieved fame for his sporting paintings and the publication of The Anatomy of the Horse, but by the end of the decade he was diversifying his technique and began experimenting with painting in enamel. His early enamels were on small copper sheets (see Lion and Lioness nearby) but Stubbs soon aspired to create larger enamels. He worked closely with Josiah Wedgwood who developed the large ceramic tablets on which Stubbs could paint. Labourers represents brickmakers on the estate of Viscount Torrington at Southill, arguing about how to fix the tailgate of their cart. There are three versions of this subject: an oil on canvas, an oil on panel, and this enamel. The original oil-on-canvas version of the subject so appealed to Wedgwood that he commissioned the enamel version for himself.

Stubbs worked closely with the famous master potter Josiah Wedgwood to develop ceramic tablets on which to paint in enamel. Here the design is based on an earlier oil painting showing servants of George, Viscount Torrington laying bricks on his estate, Southill in Bedfordshire. The building to the right is a new lodge presumably built by these same men. According to the artist’s early biographer Ozias Humphry, he had been watching them at work for some time when they fell into a dispute about the right way of replacing the tailboard on the cart, and this was the moment he chose to depict. The painting was bought from Stubbs by Wedgwood and remained in the Wedgwood family until bought at auction by Paul Mellon in 1978.\n\n
