The Yale Centre for British Art have uploaded a list of their 2024-25 'additions' (or acquisitions) onto their website. Most impressively, many of these pictures were acquired from the art trade in Britain and will be familiar to readers who have attended many of the London / European art fairs (and auctions) in the past few years.
Here's a list of some of the noteworthy acquisitions (with dealers names added alongside by myself):
Mary Beale - Head Study of Charles Beale (Weiss Gallery)
Mary Beale - Portrait of an unknown Lady (Peter Harrison)
Sir Godfrey Kneller - Lady Boyle, Nursing her Son Charles (Philip Mould & Co.)
Mason Chamberlin - A Portrait of Joseph Nash (UK Dealer)
Maria Spilsbury - A Sunday School (Libson & Yarker)
Emma Soyer - Young Mariner and Dog (pictured) (Dominic Sanchez-Cabello)
_______
George Gower - Portrait of Thomas Whythorne, Musician (Transfer from the James Marshall and Marie-Louise Osborn Collection, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library)
Allan Ramsay - Portrait of Dorothy, Mrs. John Rolleston (née Burdett) (On loan from the Rolleston family)
A reminder that the YCBA will reopen to the public on 29th March 2025.
