GEORGE FREDERICK WATTS (ENGLISH 1817-1904) FOR HE HAD GREAT POSSESSIONS Oil on canvas Signed (lower right) 66 x 33cm (25 x 12 in.) Provenance: Christie's, Frankham House Sale, East Sussex, 25 September 1989, lot 339, where purchased by Robert Kime A version and possibly the original design of the painting exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1894 No. 259 and the New Gallery in 1896-7, no. 133 now in the Tate, another version in the Watts Gallery, Compton. The title of this picture is taken from the Biblical story of the rich man who approached Christ asking to become a disciple. When told that he must first sell all his worldly possessions he had second thoughts, choosing to reject the spiritual life and retain his great accumulation of material goods. First exhibited in 1894, the work was one of a group in which Watts expressed his antagonism towards greed. While the composition indicates the man's psychological dilemma, it also focuses the viewer's attention on the rich fabric of his clothes. The handling of the paint consciously strives to imitate that of the great Venetian painters, most notably Titian.
