A Splendid and Important Royal Scottish Academy Award Medal.
Presented to the artist, Sir Edward John Poynter, B.T., P.R.A., R.W.S. (1836 - 1919), on the occasion of his Elected Honorary Membership to the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.
The medal was engraved by Benjamin Wyon (English, 1802 - 1958) after stunning designs by Sir Joseph Noel Paton (Scottish, 1821 - 1901).
It is impressed to the rim: 'SIR EDWARD JOHN POYNTER, P.R.A. ELECTED H...ONORARY MEMBER MDCCCXCVII' and was presented to Poynter in 1897 whilst he was acting President of The Royal Academy of Arts in London - superseding Sir John Everett Millais.
Completely fresh to the market after many, many decades in private ownership, excellent, historic 'country house' provenance can be provided to the buyer. This is the original, authentic medal presented by the Scottish Royal Academy to the artist himself and is expressly not a copy or edition of any kind. (Please see my other listing for an exquisite, original observational study by the same artist).
This item would represent a superb acquisition for a private collector of Poynter's work, a Poynter academic/scholar, or, perhaps an association or institution.

He is most known for his engagement with classical, historical, mythological and genre scenes as well as some stand-out Biblical works, painted on a grand scale.
