1462 Terence Santry; untitled work depicting inner urban scene 720x540mm in matte glazed frame 970x720mm, signed Santry at lower right. The vendor has listed the item as a Brighton scene but the work evokes images more reminiscent of a northern Melbourne suburb (Carlton, Fitzroy), or inner Sydney suburb such as Paddington – it is known that Santry lived and worked primarily in the Sydney area. A most impressive and large itemTerence John Santry (1910-1990) studied at the Royal Art Society in Sydney under Anthony Dattilo Rubbo, Sydney Long, Fred Leist, and Jack Carrington Smith. Throughout the 1930s he worked as an illustrator and cartoonist with the Daily Telegraph, Labour Daily and Women’s Weekly. He undertook further studies at the Westminster School, England in 1937, and upon his return in 1939 continued with cartooning and commercial art work while establishing himself as a painter. After WWII Santry was the founding member of the Northwood Group, painting in and around the Waverton area of Sydney, the group including Lloyd Rees and George Lawrence. The 1950s were a time of great reward for Santry, winning a number of regional awards and prizes. His works adorn the walls of many state and regional galleries around Australia Est. $500

My father has been blessed with this icon of Virgin Mary of Kazan by Igumenya in Kazan Convent in the city of Yaroslavl on the 8th July 1827. From then on the icon has always stayed with my father, both at home and in his later travels around Europe. In the fi rst year of my life (1849) I was having strong fi ts and when the doctor announced that my death is inevitable the icon was hung above my cradle and I have not parted with it ever since. It has been with me during my trips and travels around Russia and Western Europe. After my death I entrust my son to honor this icon as sacred family heritage and to never part with it, as did I and my father. May Virgin Mary protect you all from sickness and misfortune”.
