PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE HON. PATRICK AND LADY AMABEL LINDSAY (LOTS 5, 26 & 33)Lots 5, 26 and 33, with two outstanding fourteenth-century Italian illuminations, which will be sold on 8 July, and other significant pictures, are from the collection partly inherited and partly formed by Patrick Lindsay and arranged with characteristic taste by Lady Amabel, whom he married in 1955, in their house in Lansdowne Road. The three pictures in this catalogue represent three strata of the collection: lot 26, the Girolamo da Santacroce, was acquired by Alexander, Lord Lindsay, later 25th Earl of Crawford, whose outstanding collection of early Italian pictures reflected his interest in the history of Christian art; lot 33, the impressive Hondecoeter, is from the notable collection assembled for his London house by the financier Lewis Loyd, Lord Overstone, which his daughter bequeathed to her great-nephew by marriage, David, 27th Earl of Crawford, Patrick’s grandfather; while lot 5, the intriguing Vanitas, was purchased by Patrick Lindsay himself. Brought up with great works of art, Patrick spent some time with his father’s friend, Bernard Berenson, before becoming a director of Christie’s in 1955. As head of the picture department, he made a very significant contribution to the post-war revival of Christie’s. No one who knew him will forget his instinctive response to great works of art, the conviction with which this was expressed, or the flair with which he pursued the interests that mattered to him.
