A Painting Hidden Away in a U.K. Country Manor Turns Out to Be a Rare Canvas by the Harlem Renaissance Artist Richmond Barthé
A researcher at the National Trust, the U.K organization that oversees the country’s historic collections, just identified a previously misattributed portrait from the Lincolnshire manor Belton House as a pivotal work by thewas painted in the 1950s while Barthé was living in Jamaica, and depicts the artist’s favorite model, Lucian Levers.
The National Trust doesn’t know precisely how the painting arrived in Lincolnshire, but “it is likely to have been acquired by Perry Cust, 6th Baron Brownlow, who built a holiday home in northern Jamaica,” the organizationThe discovery that the portrait is a rare example of Barthé’s work in a U.K. collection was made when assistant national curator Alice Rylance-Watson took a closer look and noticed that the signature had been incorrectly transcribed, leading to a faulty attribution.
Still, art history remembers him mostly as a sculptor. Born in Mississippi in 1901, Barthé’s local community pooled funds to send him to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago—one of two American studio programs that accepted Black students at the time. Although Barthé studied painting first, sculpture brought him acclaim later, while working in New York.
