    George Lambert (1700-1765)

    Artist Name George Lambert (1700-1765) TitleView of a Manor House and Cottages DescriptionThis stunning British Old Master landscape oil painting, with excellent provenance, is by George Lambert. Lambert was a pioneer of British landscape in art for its own sake. Painted in 1744, the painting is entitled View of a Manor House and Cottages in Elizabeth Einberg's 63rd volume of the Walpole Society 2001 and is described as follows: 

    In the foreground a road emerges from a wood to cross a ford and then leads up the hill to the right, towards a manor house seemingly built into the remains of a medieval or Tudor edifice. The main track, crowded with sheep and rustic figures, passes the massive square gateposts lower down the hill on the left. Further to the left is a thatched cottage with smoke coming out the chimney. In the distance is a wide coastal view. The main buildings, which are in the dead centre of the composition, represent almost certainly an as yet unidentified English view. 

    The colouring  and detail in the trees and foliage are superb. This is an excellent Old Master oil painting by one of the all time great British landscape artists with extensive provenance. 

    Signed  and dated 1744

    Wilfred George Lambert 1926–2011. Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the British Academy, XIV, 337–59

    W. G. LAMBERT Wilfred George Lambert 1926–2011 W. G. LAMBERT was one of the most important Assyriologists of the latter part of the twentieth century. He made a greater contribution to the continuing task of recovering and understanding Babylonian literature than any other member of his generation. In the essential skill of reading cuneiform signs inscribed on clay tablets, he excelled above all others. In his pursuit of knowledge and meaning, he brought an uncompromising and individual intellect to the study of cuneiform texts. He was always confident in his conclusions, quick to defend them and not prone to change his mind. He was suspicious of received opinion and scornful of those whose work was not founded, like his, on the most serious engagement with cuneiform texts and the languages in which they were written. For him the facts extracted from textual study were the basis and starting point for all understanding of ancient Mesopotamia. Concrete evidence meant far more to him than ideas and theory. Wilfred George Lambert was born on 26 February 1926 at 62 Chudleigh Road in Erdington, a modest suburb of north Birmingham. He was the younger child of Herbert Harold Lamber
