Happy birthday John Lavery!
Born in Belfast in 1858, #JohnLavery was known for his realistic portraits (Lady Lavery, anyone?) though his work covers a wide range of subjects. He spent time in Morocco, where he was inspired to paint this work (and others), Habiba (1892).

An oil on canvas painting of a woman sitting in an ornate chair, holding a single red rose and looking off into the distance. The woman is wearing a purple and red dress, and the drapes behind her are a deep red as well, combine with the rose to give a romantic feel to the painting.
We couldn’t celebrate love this month without including our Lady in Red, Lady Hazel Lavery in The Red Rose (1923). Painted by her husband artist John Lavery, this is one of more than 400 portraits he made of Hazel, who was also an artist.

Wide and narrow painting showing a Victorian tennis doubles match on a white fenced court. The players are mixed doubles with the woman nearest the viewer in a long white bustled dress about to hit a lob hit by a gentleman in white flannels in the opposite corner. The woman's partner, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers holding a racquet, is watching her while another woman in a long bustled white gown is standing across the net from the woman about to hit the ball. Spectators are scattered around the court. The court is surrounded by big trees and a hedge with an arch over a gate. Image by John Lavery (1856-1941) from Wikimedia Commons.

On the opposite bank, Lavery indicates a small group of figures that may be of some significance. Garden scenes were already the Irish painter's forte, as much as portrait-interiors. #JohnLavery

British painter, mainly of portraits. He studied in Glasgow, in London, and then in the early 1880s in Paris (at the Académie Julian and elsewhere). Between 1885 and 1896 he lived mainly in Glasgow (see Glasgow School), then settled in London, although he travelled a good deal and often wintered in Morocco, where he bought a house in about 1903. Lavery had an immensely successful career as a fashionable portraitist (particularly of women), painting in a dashing and fluid, if rather facile, style: in his autobiography, The Life of a Painter (1940), he wrote, ‘I have felt ashamed of having spent my life trying to please sitters and make friends instead of telling the truth and making enemies.

Lavery's work if not rivals, at least compares equally with that of his contemporary, Sargent.

Lavery soon moved on to London where he became a fashionable portrait painter with a studio at 5, Cromwell Place and a house in Tangier. He painted everyone from Winston Churchill to John McCormack, and was commissioned to record the key events of the Irish Civil War. #JohnLavery

Irish artist Sir John Lavery married his second wife, Hazel Martyn, in 1909. She was a beautiful and artistic young American, with striking good looks and theatrical poise. This splendid and dramatic painting was one of several portraits he painted of her. In 1917, Lavery painted her as The Madonna of the Lakes for St Patrick’s, the church in Belfast where he was christened, and in 1927, as Kathleen ni Houlihan, the personification of Ireland, for the currency of the new Irish State. In this 1926 painting, Hazel stands in front of a fireplace and mirror on mantelpiece. She wears a strapless purple dress with a floral motiff and attached flower at the top. A rich green material trimmed in gold fringe is draped around her as a coat. There is an interesting juxtaposition between the elaborate nature of the green coat and delicate, feminine dress plus her bare shoulders and exposed neck. Hazel looks beautiful, but somewhat lost among her opulent surroundings, and capturing his wife lost in thought and looking slightly vulnerable, despite her finery, suggests the depth of the relationship between the artist and the sitter. In its original form, where Hazel’s arms and shoulders were bare without the coat, the painting was used as an advertisement for Pond’s Cream, which Lady Lavery herself endorsed. She was very happy for the finished painting to be given to the Belfast Art Gallery (now the Ulster Museum) in 1929, saying “it is to my thinking the best one of me he has ever painted.” Born in Belfast, Lavery was orphaned early in his life. He was sent to Scotland in 1866 and began his career in Glasgow, working in a photography studio and making art in his spare time. He progressed quickly as a painter and during the 1880s he visited Paris and the artists’ colony at Grez-sur-Loing, near Fontainebleau, where he painted several significant works. By 1910, he had become an artist of international renown and by the 1930s had collected many accolades and titles like “sir.”

In 1910, the editor of the Illustrated London News commissioned Lavery to paint a portrait of the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova, to advertise her second season at the Palace Theatre. Lavery accepted the request with the stipulation that Pavlova would provide “a reasonable number of sittings and some kind of understanding that appointments would be kept.” Pavlova modeled for Lavery regularly during her time in London. These appointments resulted in the portrait for Illustrated London News, in addition to two full-length painted portraits of Pavlova in her role as Bacchante, including this one here. The second is in the collection of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, Scotland. The beautiful Anna appears in a dynamic dance pose, her dress billowing around her, against a dark background. Her body is angled diagonally and portrayed in mid-motion, her arms outstretched, and legs lifted in a graceful leap. The overall impression is one of movement and energy. The background is a dark, neutral tone that serves to highlight the dancer's life and vitality. The paint application creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. Irish artist Sir John Lavery was best known for his portraiture. In the 1870s, he attended classes at the Haldane Academy of Art while he worked for a Glasgow photographer, retouching photographs. In 1879, he moved to London and took painting classes at Hetherley’s School, where he painted costume models and learned the art of producing marketable backgrounds. Lavery traveled to Paris in 1888, studied at the Académie Julian, and worked alongside international artists. There, his work gained recognition, and by 1888 he was awarded the opportunity to paint Queen Victoria's visit to the International Exhibition in Glasgow during the year of her jubilee. This commission propelled his career and solidified his standing as a distinguished portrait painter.
