Having been influenced at first by the work of John Hassall, a fellow member of the London Sketch Club, he soon developed a fluidity of line and atmospheric use of colour which was all his own. The artist was elected to the membership of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colour in 1907. During the First World War he served in France as a lieutenant in the Royal Garrison Artillery. We have been unable to trace another fan painted by Baghot de le Bere.

GRAHAM KNUTTEL (IRISH, B. 1954)Romance (Honey it is time we leave)signed 'Knuttel' (lower left)oil on canvas121 x 91cm(unframed)ARRProvenanceApollo Gallery, DublinSale, Sothebys London, 18 March 2008, lot 120, where acquired by the present ownerThe Darren Shan CollectionExhibitedSpain, Casino MarbellaGraham Knuttel was born in Dublin and attended Sandford Park School; rather than playing sport in the afternoon he would go home and sketch seagulls which he sold to a neighbour. He trained at the Dun Laoghaire School of Art and Design, principally as a sculptor, but it is figurative painting which defines his career. He comes from an illustrious family; Cary Grant was his great uncle and he is related to Newlyn artist, Thomas Cooper Gotch. The challenging characters in his work are, in his own words, '...not engaging with society, they are looking the other way. That is me in a way. I am told I am very furtive.' The female figure that appears in much of his work is based on artist Rachel Strong, who died in 2004, with whom he had a ten year relationship. His work has been collected by Sylvester Stallone, Frank Sinatra, Robert de Niro and Michael Stipe.

Provenance: Marginal annotations in a Renaissance hand; numerous spurious marginal notes and diagrams in a later "Leonardesque" styled hand in mirror-writing and with diagrams based on his codices (see below); William Marquess of Lothian (armorial bookplate); Emil Richter, Berliner Museum (note in ink on recto of ff.1, see below); acquired by a private individual in 1951; by descent to present owner.FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST PRINTED TREATISE ON ARCHTECTURE, presumed earlier setting, with the last quire set in Roman letter as throughout (not Nerlius, see BMC). According to Fowler, Alberti began work on his treatise in the middle of the 15th-century and enhanced and revised the work until his death in 1472. Some thirteen years later, his work was published due to the efforts of his brother. Alberti, who was architect of several important Renaissance buildings including the Basilica of San Sebastiano and Sant'Andrea in Mantua, and the Santa Maria Novella and the Rucellai Palace in Florence, based his work, based on Vitruvius's De Architectura, is divided into ten books describing the building of palaces and churches, and describing materials, construction, and ornament for sacred and secular buildings, as well as a section devoted to the restoration of buildings. "In accordance with classical principles, the principal elements of architecture are defined as beauty and ornament. Beauty is essentially harmony, the correct proportions of the parts" Alberti considers architecture not only for ecclesiastical purposes or private patrons, but for the first time particularly as a civic activity. His book includes a scheme for building a whole new town, the earliest printed example of town planning" (PMM). With spurious marginal annotations and drawings in brown in a "Leonardesque" hand on 8 leaves (occurring on ff. 7r, 21v, 30v, 44v, 76v, 131r, 164r and 203v), the last being signed "Leonardo da Vinci." A 24 April 1924 note in German from Emil Richter, the Berliner Museum, describes the annotations as being in the hand of Leonardo da Vinci ("kamm ich Betätigen dass diselben in eigener Hand von Leonardo da Vinci sind"). Though the handwriting and method of writing do bear some similarity to that of Leonardo (including the use of mirror-writing), the drawings, including a partial sketch of a hygrometer, are apparently copied from known examples by Leonardo, and the inscriptions are possibly later.
