Mercier’s lost study for Handel. In 1723 Handel moved to a newly-built house at 25, Brook Street, Mayfair, London, that was to be his home until his death in 1759.

Mercier’s lost study for Handel. In 1723 Handel moved to a newly-built house at 25, Brook Street, Mayfair, London, that was to be his home until his death in 1759. Philip Mercier (168-1760) painted him about 1730, the portrait still in private hands and generally badly reproduced. It is an iconic one, the only depiction of Handel at work. He pauses for thought, a quill in one hand and manuscript score before him, as he rests an elbow on a harpsichord, thought to be by William Smith and now in the Bate Collection (Oxford University).Mercier had trained in Berlin and travelled in Italy and France before arriving in London 1716. He lived on Leicester Fields (Square), married an English wife and became quasi-court artist to Frederick, Prince of Wales, whose establishment was on the north side of the square. In his portraits, Mercier brought a rococo informality, naturalness and richness of colour. He frequently painted musical subjects and domestic interior scenes and clearly responded to leading composer, Handel. He left London under a cloud in 1740 and spent a decade painting portraits in Yorkshire.

I grew up in England, where I studied fine art, particularly painting in oil, at the University of Newcastle in the 1990s, but then went on to study art history, and later worked for a London art auctioneer, before moving to Ireland around the year 2000. After that I became an art librarian but I still enjoy painting whenever I can find the time. I have always enjoyed painting architecture and I am influenced by many painting styles, but particularly impressionism (Monet, Caillebotte and Sisley, as well as John Singer Sargent and Sorolla). I also enjoy abstract expressionism such as Bomberg, Freud, de Kooning, Hoyland, etc. I very much enjoy using grey tones and colours and I am drawn instinctively to industrial architecture, partly because I am very interested in the industrial heritage of Britain and Ireland.
