Description |
English: War artist Sir William Orpen met Alfred Munnings in France and published an account of his fellow painter at work. At the time, Munnings was preparing a portrait of Prince Antoine of Orléans and Braganza, aide-de-camp to General Seely, the commanding officer of the Canadian Cavalry Brigade. "He used to make the poor Prince sit all day, circumnavigating the château as the sun went round. I remember going out one morning and seeing the Prince sitting upon his horse, as good as gold. Munnings was chewing a straw when I came up to them. 'Here,' said he. 'You're just the fellow I want. What colour is that reflected light under the horse's belly?' 'Very warm yellow,' said I. 'There! I told you so,' said he to the Prince. Apparently there had been some argument over the matter. Anyway, he mixed a full brush of warm yellow and laid it on. Just before lunch I came out again. There they were in another spot. 'Hey!' said Munnings, 'come here. What colour is the reflection now?' 'Bright violet,' said I. 'There! What did I tell you?' said he to the Prince; and he mixed a brush-load of bright violet, and laid it on. "As the sun was sinking I went out again, and there was the poor Prince, still in the saddle. Munnings had nearly as much paint on himself as on the canvas. He was very excited. I could see him gesticulating from a distance. When he saw me he called out: 'Come here quickly before the light goes. What colour is the reflection on the horse's belly now?' 'Bright green,' said I. 'It is,' said he, 'and the Prince won't believe me.' And he quickly made a heap of bright green and plastered it over the bright yellow and bright violet reflections of the morning and midday. So ended the day's work, and the bright green remained in full view till the next sitting." |
