In practical collecting terms, this is the kind of piece that anchors a room and a collection—instantly recognisable, visually disciplined, and rich with cultural relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"2611\" data-start=\"2608\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2659\" data-start=\"2613\"\u003e🏛️ About the Artist (Paul Karslake FRSA)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3294\" data-start=\"2660\"\u003ePaul Karslake was a celebrated British portrait artist recognised for high-impact depictions of iconic figures from music, film, and public life. As a \u003cstrong data-end=\"2857\" data-start=\"2811\"\u003eFellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA)\u003c\/strong\u003e, he developed a strong international following for portraits that combine confident likeness with contemporary presentation. Karslake’s collecting profile is driven by exactly what he demonstrates here: bold composition, tonal control, and the ability to translate fame into lasting visual iconography. His works are widely sought for their “wall power” and their position at the intersection of modern portraiture and cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"3299\" data-start=\"3296\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"3337\" data-start=\"3301\"\u003e🧩 Context in Karslake’s Oeuvre\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4052\" data-start=\"3338\"\u003eThis Bob Marley portrait sits naturally within Karslake’s signature territory—portraits of major cultural icons rendered with immediacy, technical control, and contemporary style. Karslake repeatedly returned to sitters drawn from music and popular culture, producing works that function as modern icon portraits rather than simple likenesses. In that context, Marley is an ideal subject: instantly recognisable, historically important, and visually suited to Karslake’s dramatic monochrome approach. Collectors familiar with Karslake’s practice will recognise this work as a coherent example of his broader artistic project—documenting and elevating twentieth-century cultural legends through refined portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"4057\" data-start=\"4054\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"4073\" data-start=\"4059\"\u003e✍️ Signed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4198\" data-start=\"4074\"\u003eThe work is \u003cstrong data-end=\"4113\" data-start=\"4086\"\u003esigned by Paul Karslake\u003c\/strong\u003e on the front, confirming authorship and reinforcing its desirability for collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"4203\" data-start=\"4200\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"4220\" data-start=\"4205\"\u003e🖼️ Framed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4353\" data-start=\"4221\"\u003eOffered \u003cstrong data-end=\"4260\" data-start=\"4229\"\u003eframed and ready to display\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the portrait a finished, statement presentation suitable for immediate installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"4358\" data-start=\"4355\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"4372\" data-start=\"4360\"\u003e📏 Size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4457\" data-start=\"4373\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"4384\" data-start=\"4373\"\u003eCanvas:\u003c\/strong\u003e 79 cm × 98 cm\u003cbr data-end=\"4401\" data-start=\"4398\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"4412\" data-start=\"4401\"\u003eFramed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 102 cm × Width 122 cm × Depth 2.54 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"4462\" data-start=\"4459\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"4482\" data-start=\"4464\"\u003e📜 Provenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4885\" data-start=\"4483\"\u003eThe painting has documented auction provenance.

He was installed on 16 July 1758.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis oil painting on canvas depicting Pope Clement XIII, painted circa 1760. The painting has been carried out in an exceptional manner, painted by a hand of the greatest skill; creating very realistic impressions within the faces of the pope and cherub.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe painting depicts Pope Clement XIII next to a Cherub. The Pope is looking directly towards the audience whilst the Cherub is holding the Bible Sacra.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bible Sacra was written in Venice, Italy, in 1740 by Francisco Peter in which was recognized by Popes Sixths V and Clement VIII. The Bible Sacra is the Latin translation of The Holy Bible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pope places his hands in front of him, invoking the audience to join him and the Cherub (Gods messenger on earth) to worship and commemorate the glorification of the newly Beatified Sebastian Maggi. Sebastian Maggi, also known as Blessed Sebastian Maggi O. P. (Order of Preachers) was and Italian Roman Catholic Priest and a member of the Dominicans, he also served as a confessor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe lived between 1414 and 1496 and was beatified by Pope Clement XIII on the 15 April 1760 at Saint Peter's Basilica, Papal States. In the painting, the Angel represents the message of God, carrying God's instructions (Bible Sacra), to God's representative on Earth, Pope Clement XIII to convey the message of the beatification and worship of the Blessed Priest Sebastian Maggi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe painting would have been commissioned, especially to commemorate the occasion, making it an important piece of Italian Ecclesiastical history. On the Sacred book that the Cherub holds has a Latin written verse from the Bible Sacra: \"Prophet De Thesauro So Nova Et Veteran\" which is from the book of Matthew, 13: 52. There is a further inscription to the bottom left of the painting, the letters pained by hand in Latin, translate to the following: The highest order issued by the grace of God from the year 1740 (referring to the date the Bible Sacra was published), for the Head of Priests (Pope Clement XIII) in 1760 (the year of Sebastian Maggi's beatification), to invite all to worship the Blessed Martyr Order of Preachers, Sebastian (Sebastian Maggi O. P)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis would have belonged to a Church or monastic institution in Italy. Please note the intricate detail, such as the lacework of the Pope's sleeves and his life-like features, such as the incredible detail of facial hair, wrinkles and even eye vessels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePope Clement XIII His pontificate was overshadowed by the constant pressure to suppress the Society of Jesus but despite this, he championed their order and also proved to be their greatest defender at that time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe was also one of the few early popes who favored dialogue with Old Catholic Protestants and to this effect hoped to mend the schism with the Catholic Church that existed in England and the low countries. These efforts ultimately bore little fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHis early life Carlo Della Tore di Rezoning was born in 1693 to a recently ennobled family of Venice, the second of two children of the man who bought the unfinished palace on the Grand Canal (now Ca' Rezoning) and finished its construction. His parents were Giovanni Batista Rezoning and Victoria Barbarian, and he had a brother called Aurelio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarlo received a Jesuit education in Bologna and later studied at the University of Padua where he obtained his doctorate in canon law and civil law. From there, he travelled to Rome where he attended the Pontifical Academy of Ecclesiastical Nobles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn 1716 Rezoning became the Referendum of the Apostolic Signature and in 1721 was appointed Governor of Fans. He was ordained to the priesthood on 23 December 1731 in Rome. Pope Clement XII appointed him to the cardinal ate in 1737 as the Cardinal-Deacon of San Nicola in Career. He also filled various important posts in the Roman Curia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRezoning was chosen as Bishop of Padua in 1743, and he received episcopal consecration in Rome by Pope Benedict XIV himself, in the presence of Giuseppe Accoramboni and cardinal Antonio Salerno Gentile as co-consecrators. Rezoning visited his diocese on frequent occasions and reformed the way that the diocese ran, paying attention to the social needs of the diocese. He was the first to do this in five decades. He later opted to become the Cardinal-Priest of Santa Maria in Araceli in 1747 and later still to become the Cardinal-Priest of San Marco in 1755,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElection to the papacy, Pope Benedict XIV died of gout in 1758 and the College of Cardinals gathered at the papal conclave in order to elect a successor. Direct negotiations between the rival factions resulted in the proposal for the election of Rezoning. On the evening of 6 July 1758, Rezoning received 31 votes out of a possible 44, one more than the required amount. He selected the pontifical name of \"Clement XIII\" in honor of Pope Clement XII, who elevated him to the cardinal ate. Rezoning was crowned as pontiff on 16 July 1758 by the protodeacon, Cardinal Alessandro Albania.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotwithstanding the meekness and affability of his upright and moderate character, he was modest to a fault (he had the classical sculptures in the Vatican provided with mass-produced fig leaves) and generous with his extensive private fortune. He also permitted vernacular translations of the Bible in Catholic countries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jesuits, Clement XIII's pontificate was repeatedly disturbed by disputes respecting the pressures to suppress the Jesuits coming from the progressive Enlightenment circles of the philosophes in France.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClement XIII placed the Encyclopedia of D'Alembert and Diderot on the Index, but this index was not as effective as it had been in the previous century. More unexpected resistance came from the less progressive courts of Spain, the Two Sicilian, and Portugal. In 1758 the reforming minister of Joseph I of Portugal (1750–77), the Marquis of Combat, expelled the Jesuits from Portugal, and transported them all to Civitavecchia, as a \"gift for the Pope.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn 1760, Combat sent the papal nuncio home and recalled the Portuguese ambassador from the Vatican. The pamphlet titled the Brief Relation, which claimed the Jesuits had created their own sovereign independent kingdom in South America and tyrannized the Native Americans, all in the interest of an insatiable ambition and avarice, [1] did damage to the Jesuit cause as well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClement XIII's tomb in St. Peter's Basilica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn 8 November 1760, Clement XIII issued a Papal bull Quantum ornaments, which approved the request of King Charles III of Spain to invoke the Immaculate Conception as the Patroness of Spain, along with its eastern and western territories, while continuing to recognize Saint James the Greater than co-patron.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn France, the Parliament of Paris, with its strong upper bourgeois background and Jansenist sympathies, began its campaign to expel the Jesuits from France in the spring of 1761, and the published excerpts from Jesuit writings, the Extract yes assertions, provided anti-Jesuit ammunition (though, arguably, many of the statements the Extract contained were made to look worse than they were through judicious omission of context).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThough a congregation of bishops assembled at Paris in December 1761 recommended no action, Louis XV of France (1715–74) promulgated a royal order permitting the Society to remain in France, with the proviso that certain essentially liberalizing changes in their institution satisfy the Parliament with a French Jesuit vicar-general who would be independent of the general in Rome. When the Parliament by the arrest of 2 August 1762 suppressed the Jesuits in France and imposed untenable conditions on any who remained in the country, Clement XIII protested against this invasion of the Church's rights and annulled the arrest. Louis XV's ministers could not permit such an abrogation of French law, and the King finally expelled the Jesuits in November 1764.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClement XIII warmly espoused the Jesuit order in a papal bull Apostolicum ascend, 7 January 1765, which dismissed criticisms of the Jesuits as calumnies and praised the order's usefulness; it was largely ignored: by 1768 the Jesuits had been expelled from France, the Two Sicilian and Parma.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Spain, they appeared to be safe, but Charles III of Spain (1759–88), aware of the drawn-out contentions in Bourbon France, decided on a more peremptory efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring the night of 2–3 April 1767, all the Jesuit houses of Spain were suddenly surrounded, the inhabitants arrested, shipped to the ports in the clothes they were wearing and bundled onto ships for Civitavecchia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e-The King's letter to Clement XIII promised that his allowance of 100 piasters each year would be withdrawn for the whole order, should any one of them venture at any time to write anything in self-defense or in criticism of the motives for the expulsion,  motives that he refused to discuss, then or in the future.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuch the same fate awaited them in the territories of the Bourbon Duke of Parma and Piacenza, advised by the liberal minister Guillaume du Til lot. In 1768, Clement XIII issued a strong protest (monitoring) against the policy of the Burmese government. The question of the investiture of Parma aggravated the Pope's troubles. The Bourbon Kings espoused their relative's quarrel, seized Avignon, Benedetto and Pontecorvo, and united in a peremptory demand for the total suppression of the Jesuits (January 1769).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriven to extremes, Clement XIII consented to call a consistory to consider the step, but on the very eve of the day set for its meeting he died, not without suspicion of poison, of which, however, there appears to be no conclusive evidence.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEcumenism, Clement XIII backed plans to reunite the Catholic Church, with Old Catholic branches that split from Rome in 1724 over the issue of Papal authority, as well as with Protestants. This made little progress since Clement refused to compromise on doctrine with Protestants or on Papal authority with Old Catholics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn support of this policy, he recognized the Hanoverian's as Kings of Great Britain despite the long-term residence in Rome of the Catholic House of Stuart. When James Francis Edward Stuart, aka James III died in 1766, Clement refused to recognize his son Charles Edward Stuart as Charles III, despite the objections of his brother Cardinal Henry Benedict Stuart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClement XIII created 52 new cardinals in seven consistories in his pontificate.

Against a dark, neutral ground, Anthony Ulrich is brought forward into the light, his powdered wig, pale complexion and richly coloured garments forming a strong focus. He wears a deep green coat densely embroidered with gold, over which falls a crimson, ermine-lined mantle signalling his princely Welf status.

The wig is described with small, regular strokes. The lace, fur and gold embroidery are treated more broadly, with brisk, decorative touches that catch the light and give texture. The paint surface shows a fine, even craquelure typical of 18th-century canvases, which adds to the period character of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-end=\"2302\" data-start=\"2299\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2344\" data-start=\"2304\"\u003e🧑🎨 Artist – Linked Stylistically\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2583\" data-start=\"2346\"\u003eThough the painting is anonymous, it clearly belongs to the \u003cstrong data-end=\"2449\" data-start=\"2406\"\u003eGerman–Russian court portrait tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e associated with \u003cstrong data-end=\"2504\" data-start=\"2466\"\u003eGeorg Christoph Grooth (1703–1749)\u003c\/strong\u003e and reflects the refined Franco-German idiom of \u003cstrong data-end=\"2582\" data-start=\"2553\"\u003eAntoine Pesne (1683–1757)\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2972\" data-start=\"2585\"\u003eThe dark, uncluttered background, smooth and cool modelling of the head, and strong emphasis on orders, sash and baton are all hallmarks of Grooth’s work at the courts of Empress Anna and Elizabeth.

The millstone collar — a broad, flat collar draped over the shoulders — was a costly and fashionable form in the Northern Netherlands during the 1620s and is closely associated with wealthy merchants and civic leaders. Additional details, including a chained loop belt and a gold seal signet ring worn on the little finger, further reinforce authority and mercantile prominence. The sitter’s carefully modelled brown hair and neatly trimmed beard embody the sober dignity prized by the mercantile elite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1559\" data-start=\"1519\"\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2586\" data-start=\"1561\"\u003e🏛️ \u003cstrong data-end=\"1616\" data-start=\"1565\"\u003eHistorical Importance \u0026amp; Heraldic Interpretation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1619\" data-start=\"1616\"\u003ePainted in 1625 during the height of the Dutch Golden Age, this portrait exemplifies the emergence of a powerful mercantile class whose wealth reshaped European society. Authority is asserted not through inherited nobility but through dress, posture and emblem. Of particular interest is the painted merchant’s-mark cartouche in the upper right of the composition. Set within a red shield, it incorporates a key motif — symbolising custodianship and control over warehouses or ports — together with the “sign of four” (reversed-4), a documented protective and identifying device used in merchant marks from the late medieval through early modern period. Flanked by winged cherubs, the cartouche is elevated into an armorial mode, merging piety with prosperity and signalling near-gentry ambition. The presence of such a cartouche within a painted portrait is comparatively rare and indicates a sitter consciously promoting his commercial identity and social standing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2628\" data-start=\"2588\"\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3285\" data-start=\"2630\"\u003e🎓 \u003cstrong data-end=\"2667\" data-start=\"2633\"\u003eAbout the Artist — Attribution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2670\" data-start=\"2667\"\u003eAttributed \u003cem data-end=\"2699\" data-start=\"2681\"\u003ein the manner of\u003c\/em\u003e Michiel van Mierevelt (1566–1641).

The restrained palette, formal pose, crisp facial modelling and carefully rendered millstone collar evident here align closely with works produced within the Mierevelt circle.

You can also see 2 ships in the background.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSigned at the bottom by the British artist Cyrus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCirca early 20th century dated 1935.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrigin from the United Kingdom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMedium oil on canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFrame is an impressive size being 107 cm wide and 145.25 cm high.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHaving such beautiful detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSet in the original gilt gesso frame which enhances this artwork. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBiography of the sitter, Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was King of England from 22 April 1509 until his death in 1547. Henry is known for his six marriages and his efforts to have his first marriage (to Catherine of Aragon) annulled. His disagreement with Pope Clement VII about such an annulment led Henry to initiate the English Reformation, separating the Church of England from papal authority. He appointed himself Supreme Head of the Church of England and dissolved convents and monasteries, for which he was excommunicated by the pope.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHenry brought radical changes to the Constitution of England, expanding royal power and ushering in the theory of the divine right of kings in opposition to papal supremacy. He frequently used charges of treason and heresy to quell dissent, and those accused were often executed without a formal trial using bills of attainder. He achieved many of his political aims through his chief ministers, some of whom were banished or executed when they fell out of his favour. Thomas Wolsey, Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell, and Thomas Cranmer all figured prominently in his administration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHenry was an extravagant spender, using proceeds from the dissolution of the monasteries and acts of the Reformation Parliament. He converted money that was formerly paid to Rome into royal revenue. Despite the money from these sources, he was often on the verge of financial ruin due to personal extravagance and costly and largely unproductive wars, particularly with King Francis I of France, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, King James V of Scotland, and the Scottish regency under the Earl of Arran and Mary of Guise. He expanded the Royal Navy, oversaw the annexation of Wales to England with the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542, and was the first English monarch to rule as King of Ireland following the Crown of Ireland Act 1542.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHenry's contemporaries considered him an attractive, educated, and accomplished king. He has been described as \"one of the most charismatic rulers to sit on the English throne\" and his reign described as the \"most important\" in English history. He was an author and composer. As he aged, he became severely overweight and his health suffered. He is frequently characterised in his later life as a lustful, egotistical, paranoid, and tyrannical monarch. He was succeeded by his son Edward VI.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProvenance auction label verso, private museum \u0026amp; in the collection of Cheshire Antiques Consultant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith hanging thread on the back ready for immediate home display. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncredible conversation piece for your guests. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA superb collectors item. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe only select \u0026amp; sell paintings based upon subject, quality \u0026amp; significance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe provide our clients with friendly professional customer service. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCondition report. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOffered in fine used condition. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe front painting surface is in acceptable overall order, with various foxing staining, \u0026amp; craquelure, paint loss in areas, various paint flaking \u0026amp; loose paint commensurate with usage \u0026amp; old age.

He was nominally amateur as a cricketer, but he is said to have made more money from his cricketing activities than any professional cricketer. He was an extremely competitive player and, although he was one of the most famous men in England, he was also one of the most controversial on account of his gamesmanship and moneymaking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eHe played first-class cricket for a record-equalling 44 seasons, from 1865 to 1908, during which he captained England, Gloucestershire, the Gentlemen, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the United South of England Eleven (USEE), and several other teams. Right-handed as both batsman and bowler, Grace dominated the sport during his career. His technical innovations and enormous influence left a lasting legacy. An outstanding all-rounder, he excelled at all the essential skills of batting, bowling and fielding, but it is for his batting that he is most renowned. He is held to have invented modern batsmanship. Usually opening the innings, he was particularly admired for his mastery of all strokes, and his level of expertise was said by contemporary reviewers to be unique. He generally captained the teams he played for at all levels because of his skill and tactical acumen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eGrace came from a cricketing family: E. M. Grace was one of his elder brothers and Fred Grace his younger brother. In 1880, they were members of the same England team, the first time three brothers played together in Test cricket. Grace took part in other sports also: he was a champion 440-yard hurdler as a young man and played football for the Wanderers. In later life, he developed enthusiasm for golf, lawn bowls, and curling. He qualified as a medical practitioner in 1879.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eProvenance from private collection, high end auction label verso \u0026amp; in collection of Cheshire Antiques Consultant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eWith hanging thread on the back ready for immediate home display. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eIncredible conversation piece for your guests. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eA superb collectors item. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eWe only select \u0026amp; sell paintings based upon subject, quality \u0026amp; significance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eWe provide our clients with friendly professional customer service. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eCondition report. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eOffered in fine used condition. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eThe front painting surface is in acceptable overall order, with various foxing staining, \u0026amp; craquelure, paint loss as shown in areas, particularly loss to the right forearm of Grace also with loose paint flaking commensurate with usage \u0026amp; old age, frame stretcher lines showing also a small repair with black patch added to the back. Set in original gilt  frame, the frame has various signs of wear, scuffs, scratches, stains, cracking, losses in places commensurate with usage \u0026amp; old age.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eInternational buyers worldwide shipping is available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eViewings are welcome by appointment only for customer support please send a message thankyou. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eCheckout our exciting other Fine Arts, antiques \u0026amp; collectibles available in our shop gallery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eDimensions in centimetres of the frame\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh (73 cm) \u003cbr\u003eWidth (63 cm) \u003cbr\u003eLength depth thickness of frame (5 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45068478742781,"sku":"k1236","price":8000.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0201\/2227\/1808\/files\/victorian-british-oil-painting-portrait-cricketer-william-albert-grace-1848-1915-413725.jpg?v=1714586974"},{"product_id":"victorian-oil-painting-portrait-cornish-fisherman-by-david-wood-haddon-c1888","title":"Victorian Oil Painting Portrait Cornish Fisherman by David Wood Haddon C1888","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"87\"\u003e🎣 Victorian Nautical One Of the Crew – Cornish Fisherman Oil Painting by David Wood Haddon R.B.A. c1888\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"89\" data-end=\"153\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"155\" data-end=\"525\"\u003e🎨 Subject \u0026amp; Medium\u003cbr data-start=\"174\" data-end=\"177\"\u003eBeautiful original late Victorian oil on canvas by David Wood Haddon R.B.A. (1859–1914), titled \u003cstrong data-start=\"273\" data-end=\"294\"\u003e“One of the Crew”\u003c\/strong\u003eand dated \u003cstrong data-start=\"305\" data-end=\"313\"\u003e1888\u003c\/strong\u003e.

A distinguished cavalry officer, Campbell began his military career at a young age and fought in several conflicts of the Second Hundred Years' War, along with serving as the governor of Edinburgh Castle from 1738 until his death in 1745. Born in Lawers, Perthshire into an aristocratic Scottish family, Campbell joined the Scots Army when he was just thirteen years old. He was commissioned as a captain in the 2st Regiment of Foot in 1702 During the War of the Spanish Succession, Campbell served in Europe in the Royal North British Dragoons, fighting in the battles of Blenheim, Oudenarde and Malplaquet and rising to the rank of lieutenant-colonel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eFollowing the war's end, Campbell became involved in politics, supporting the succession of the House of Hanover. In 1720, Campbell married Lady Jean Boyle Mure, with whom he had two children. Seven years later, Campbell was appointed Groom of the Chamber by George II of Great Britain in recognition of his military accomplishments. Campbell took his seat in Parliament after running unopposed in the 1727 British general election. A steadfast Whig when in Parliament, Campbell continued to climb the British Army's ranks, being promoted to lieutenant-general in 1740. In 1742, the War of the Austrian Succession broke out and Campbell accompanied a British force to Continental Europe, where he participated in the Battle of Dettingen and was knighted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eCampbell continued to see action in Europe, commanding Pragmatic Army troops which fought a French army near Antoing in 1745.

Both worked in the Palaiseau district for the Princes of Condé. When Bara was twelve his father died, so when the Levée en masse was issued, his mother enlisted him as an army volunteer. Bara was too young to join the army but attached himself to a unit fighting counter revolutionariesin Vendée. After his death, General J.-B. Desmarres gave this account, by letter, to the convention. \"Yesterday this courageous youth, surrounded by brigands, chose to perish rather than give them the two horses he was leading.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eThe boy's death was seized on as an opportunity by revolutionaries, who praised him at the Convention's tribune saying that \"only the French have thirteen-year-old heroes\". But rather than simply being killed by Breton royalists who solely wanted to steal horses, Bara was transformed into a figure who denied the Ancien Régime at the cost of death. His story became that having been trapped by the enemy and being ordered to cry \"Vive le Roi\" (\"Long live the King\") to save his own life, he preferred instead to die crying \"Vive la République\" (\"Long live the Republic\"). His remains were to be transferred to the Panthéon during a revolutionary festival in his honour but the event was cancelled when Robespierre was overthrown the day before it was to take place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eJacques-Louis David (French: 30 August 1748 – 29 December 1825) was a French painter in the Neoclassical style, considered to be the preeminent painter of the era. In the 1780s, his cerebral brand of history painting marked a change in taste away from Rococo frivolity toward classical austerity, severity, and heightened feeling,]which harmonized with the moral climate of the final years of the Ancien Régime. David later became an active supporter of the French Revolution and friend of Maximilien Robespierre (1758–1794), and was effectively a dictator of the arts under the French Republic. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eImprisoned after Robespierre's fall from power, he aligned himself with yet another political regime upon his release: that of Napoleon, the First Consul of France. At this time he developed his Empire style, notable for its use of warm Venetiancolours. After Napoleon's fall from Imperial power and the Bourbon revival, David exiled himself to Brussels, then in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, where he remained until his death. David had many pupils, making him the strongest influence in French art of the early 19th century, especially academic Salon painting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eProvenance DOIC Wilson \u0026amp; Wheatley Fine Art Dealers of Edinburgh, Museum label \u0026amp; in collection of Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eWith hanging thread on the back ready for immediate home display. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eWe only select \u0026amp; sell paintings based upon subject, quality \u0026amp; significance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eWe provide our clients with friendly professional customer service. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eCondition report. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eOffered in fine used condition. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"simple-format-listing-short-delivery-text\"\u003eThe front painting surface is in good overall order with various foxing staining, \u0026amp; craquelure in areas commensurate with usage \u0026amp; old age, canvas has been recently relined \u0026amp; the painting has been professionally restored \u0026amp; revarnished with various paint touch ups in places. It has been reframed, the frame is a Larson Juhl design LJE moulded gilt frame.

Apart from 1922 to 1924, he was a member of Parliament (MP) from 1900 to 1964 and represented a total of five constituencies. Ideologically an adherent to economic liberalism and imperialism, he was for most of his career a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955. He was a member of the Liberal Party from 1904 to 1924. Of mixed English and American parentage, Churchill was born in Oxfordshire into the wealthy, aristocratic Spencer family. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe joined the British Army in 1895 and saw action in British India, the Mahdist War and the Second Boer War, gaining fame as a war correspondent and writing books about his campaigns. Elected a Conservative MP in 1900. As First Lord of the Admiralty during the First World War, he oversaw the Gallipoli campaign, but after it proved a disaster, was demoted to Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. He resigned in November 1915 and joined the Royal Scots Fusiliers on the Western Front for six months. In 1917, he returned to government under David Lloyd George and served successively as Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, Secretary of State for Air, and Secretary of State for the Colonies, overseeing the Anglo-Irish Treaty and British foreign policy in the Middle East. After two years out of Parliament, he was Chancellor of the Exchequer in Stanley Baldwin's Conservative government, returning sterling in 1925 to the gold standard, depressing the UK economy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn May 1940, he became prime minister, succeeding Neville Chamberlain. Churchill formed a national government and oversaw British involvement in the Allied war effort against the Axis powers, resulting in victory in 1945. After the Conservatives' defeat in the 1945 general election, he became Leader of the Opposition. Amid the developing Cold War with the Soviet Union, he publicly warned of an \"iron curtain\" of Soviet influence in Europe and promoted European unity. Between his terms, he wrote several books recounting his experience during the war. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. He lost the 1950 election but was returned to office in 1951. His second term was preoccupied with foreign affairs, especially Anglo-American relations and preservation of what remained of the British Empire with India now no longer part of it. Domestically, his government completed the development of a nuclear weapon. In declining health, Churchill resigned in 1955, remaining an MP until 1964. Upon his death in 1965, he was given a state funeral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe National Archives, Kew holds a similar portrait of Winston Churchill.

Miles Lampson was the son of Norman Lampson, and grandson of Sir Curtis Lampson, 1st Baronet. His mother was Helen, daughter of Peter Blackburn, MP for Stirlingshire. He was educated at Eton. Lampson entered the Foreign Office in 1903. He served as Secretary to Garter Mission, Japan, in 1906, as 2nd Secretary at Tokyo, Japan, between 1908 and 1910, as 2nd Secretary at Sofia, Bulgaria in 1911, as 1st Secretary at Peking in 1916, as Acting British High Commissioner in Siberia in 1920 and as British Minister to China between 1926 and 1933. In 1934 he was appointed High Commissioner for Egypt and the Sudan. As a result of the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty in December 1936, to which Lampson was a signatory Britain loosened its grip on Egypt and the post title was changed to Ambassador to Egypt and High Commissioner for the Sudan in 1936. Lampson continued in this office until 1946. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs ambassador to Egypt he forced King Farouk I to change the cabinet to a Wafdist one through surrounding the king's palace with tanks in the Abdeen Palace incident of 1942. He was then Special Commissioner in Southeast Asia between 1946 and 1948. He was admitted to the Privy Council in 1941 and raised to the peerage as Baron Killearn, of Killearn in the County of Stirling, on 17 May 1943. He was also awarded the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon of Japan[3] and the Order of the Sacred Treasure, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon of Japan. Lord Killearn died in September 1964, aged 84, and was succeeded in the barony by his son by his first marriage, Graham. As Graham died without male heirs, the title subsequently passed to Lord Killearn's son from his second marriage, Victor. The 3rd Lord Killearn took legal action in 2011 to prevent his mother selling off the family home, Haremere Hall. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvenance: Private collection of Mr Miles Lampson, Bonhams, Oxford, April 2015, auction labels verso \u0026amp; in collection of Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition report.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffered in fine used condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe painting surface has various foxing staining \u0026amp; craquelure, paint fading \u0026amp; minor paint losses, also having had a small paint touch up to his upper red uniform just below his collar also lower down near the bottom, patch repair shown verso.

Apart from 1922 to 1924, he was a member of Parliament(MP) from 1900 to 1964 and represented a total of five constituencies. Ideologically an adherent to economic liberalism and imperialism, he was for most of his career a member of the Conservative Party, which he led from 1940 to 1955. He was a member of the Liberal Party from 1904 to 1924.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe was of mixed English and American parentage, Churchill was born in Oxfordshire into the wealthy, aristocratic Spencer family. He joined the British Army in 1895 and saw action in British India, the Mahdist War and the Second Boer War, gaining fame as a war correspondent and writing books about his campaigns. Elected a Conservative MP in 1900, he defected to the Liberals in 1904. In H. H. Asquith's Liberal government, Churchill was president of the Board of Trade and Home Secretary, championing prison reform and workers' social security. As First Lord of the Admiralty during the First World War, he oversaw the Gallipoli campaign, but after it proved a disaster, was demoted to Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. He resigned in November 1915 and joined the Royal Scots Fusiliers on the Western Front for six months. In 1917, he returned to government under David Lloyd George and served successively as Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, Secretary of State for Air, and Secretary of State for the Colonies, overseeing the Anglo-Irish Treaty and British foreign policy in the Middle East. After two years out of Parliament, he was Chancellor of the Exchequer in Stanley Baldwin's Conservative government, returning sterling in 1925 to the gold standard, depressing the UK economy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut of government during his so-called \"wilderness years\" in the 1930s, Churchill took the lead in calling for rearmament to counter the threat of militarism in Nazi Germany. At the outbreak of the Second World War he was re-appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. In May 1940, he became prime minister, succeeding Neville Chamberlain. Churchill formed a national government and oversaw British involvement in the Allied war effort against the Axis powers, resulting in victory in 1945. After the Conservatives' defeat in the 1945 general election, he became Leader of the Opposition. Amid the developing Cold War with the Soviet Union, he publicly warned of an \"iron curtain\" of Soviet influence in Europe and promoted European unity. Between his terms, he wrote several books recounting his experience during the war. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1953. He lost the 1950 election but was returned to office in 1951. His second term was preoccupied with foreign affairs, especially Anglo-American relationsand preservation of what remained of the British Empire, with India no longer a part of it. Domestically, his government's priority was their extensive housebuilding programme, in which they were successful. In declining health, Churchill resigned in 1955, remaining an MP until 1964. Upon his death in 1965, he was given a state funeral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the 20th century's most significant figures, Churchill remains popular in the UK and the rest of the Anglosphere. He is generally viewed as a victorious wartime leader who played an integral role in defending liberal democracy against the spread of fascism. He has sometimes been criticised for his imperialism and certain comments on race, in addition to some wartime decisions such as area bombing, but historians nevertheless rank Churchill as one of the greatest British prime ministers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrief biography of John Archibald Alexander Berrie was a known British artist who was born during the late Victorian era in 1887.

Scrots is first heard of when appointed a court painter to Mary of Austria, Regent of the Netherlands, in 1537. In England, he followed Hans Holbein as King's Painter to Henry VIII in 1546, with a substantial annual salary of £62 10s, over twice as much as Holbein's thirty pounds a year. He continued in this role during the reign of the boy king Edward VI. His salary was stopped on Edward's death in 1553, after which it is not known what became of him, though it is presumed he left England. Little more is known of Scrots other than that his paintings showed an interest in ingenious techniques and detailed accessories. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eSigned by the British artist J W Greaves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eMedium oil on board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eCirca late 20th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eSet in a fine recent Larson Juhl black wax painted reverse profile in Ayous wood decorative frame, with inner gilt finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eA nice display size with the frame being 69 cm high and 58 cm wide. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eBiography of Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death in 1603. She was the last monarch of the House of Tudor. Elizabeth was the only surviving child of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. When Elizabeth was two years old, her parents' marriage was annulled, her mother was executed, and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate. Henry restored her to the line of succession when she was 10, via the Third Succession Act 1543. After Henry's death in 1547, Elizabeth's younger half-brother Edward VI ruled until his own death in 1553, bequeathing the crown to a Protestant cousin, Lady Jane Grey, and ignoring the claims of his two half-sisters, the Catholic Mary and the younger Elizabeth, in spite of statutes to the contrary. Edward's will was set aside within weeks of his death and Mary became queen, deposing and executing Jane. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eDuring Mary's reign, Elizabeth was imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels. Upon her half-sister's death in 1558, Elizabeth succeeded to the throne and set out to rule by good counsel. She depended heavily on a group of trusted advisers led by William Cecil, whom she created Baron Burghley. One of her first actions as queen was the establishment of an English Protestant church, of which she became the supreme governor. This era, later named the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, would evolve into the Church of England. It was expected that Elizabeth would marry and produce an heir; however, despite numerous courtships, she never did. Because of this she is sometimes referred to as the \"Virgin Queen\". She was eventually succeeded by her first cousin twice removed, James VI of Scotland, the son of Mary, Queen of Scots. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eIn government, Elizabeth was more moderate than her father and siblings had been. One of her mottoes was video et taceo (\"I see and keep silent\"). In religion, she was relatively tolerant and avoided systematic persecution. After the pope declared her illegitimate in 1570, which in theory released English Catholics from allegiance to her, several conspiracies threatened her life, all of which were defeated with the help of her ministers' secret service, run by Sir Francis Walsingham. Elizabeth was cautious in foreign affairs, manoeuvring between the major powers of France and Spain. She half-heartedly supported a number of ineffective, poorly resourced military campaigns in the Netherlands, France, and Ireland.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eBy the mid-1580s, England could no longer avoid war with Spain. As she grew older, Elizabeth became celebrated for her virginity. A cult of personality grew around her which was celebrated in the portraits, pageants, and literature of the day. Elizabeth's reign became known as the Elizabethan era. The period is famous for the flourishing of English drama, led by playwrights such as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe, the prowess of English maritime adventurers, such as Francis Drake and Walter Raleigh, and for the defeat of the Spanish Armada. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"etc-description\"\u003eSome historians depict Elizabeth as a short-tempered, sometimes indecisive ruler, who enjoyed more than her fair share of luck. Towards the end of her reign, a series of economic and military problems weakened her popularity.

McClellan and Alfred Pleasonton, both of whom recognized his abilities as a cavalry leader. He was promoted in the early American Civil War (1861–1865), to brevet brigadier general of volunteers when only aged 23. Only a few days afterwards, he fought at the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania in early July 1863, where he commanded the Michigan Brigade. Despite being outnumbered, the new General Custer defeated Confederate States Army cavalry of General J. E. B. Stuart's attack at East Cavalry Field on the crucial third day of the Gettysburg clash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn 1864, Custer served in the Overland Campaign and with Union cavalry commander General Philip Sheridan's army in the Shenandoah Valley campaigns later that summer, defeating Confederate General Jubal Early at Cedar Creek. In the last year of the war of 1865, he destroyed or captured the remainder of Early's forces at the Battle of Waynesboro in Western Virginia. Custer's division blocked the Southern Army of Northern Virginia's final retreat from their fallen capital city of Richmond in early April 1865 and received the first flag of truce from the exhausted Confederates. He was present at the Army of Northern Virginia commanding General Robert E. Lee's surrender ceremony at the McLean House to Union Army General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter the war, Custer was commissioned as a lieutenant colonel in the standing Regular Army and sent west to fight in the ongoing Indian Wars, mainly against the Lakota \/ Sioux and other Great Plains native peoples. On June 25, 1876, while leading the Army's 7th Cavalry Regiment at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in the southeastern Montana Territory against a coalition of Western Native American tribes, he was killed along with every soldier of the five companies he led of his regiment. This event became known as \"Custer's Last Stand\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCuster's dramatic end was as controversial as the rest of his life and career, and the reaction to his life remains divided, even 150 years later. His mythologized status in American history was partly established through the energetic lobbying of his adoring wife Elizabeth Bacon \"Libbie\" Custer (1842–1933), throughout her long widowhood which spanned six decades longer into the mid-20th century. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMathew Benjamin Brady (c. 1822–1824 – January 15, 1896) was an American photographer. Known as one of the earliest and most famous photographers in American history, he is best known for his scenes of the Civil War. He studied under inventor Samuel Morse, who pioneered the daguerreotype technique in America. Brady opened his own studio in New York City in 1844, and went on to photograph U.S. presidents John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Millard Fillmore, Martin Van Buren, and other public figures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen the Civil War began, Brady's use of a mobile studio and darkroom enabled thousands of vivid battlefield photographs to bring home the reality of war to the public. He also photographed generals and politicians on both sides of the conflict, though most of these were taken by his assistants rather than by Brady himself. After the end of the Civil War, these pictures went out of fashion, and the government did not purchase the master copies as he had anticipated. Brady's fortunes declined sharply, and he died in debt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvenance Private Amercian Collection, exhibited Famous Lord Hill Museum \u0026amp; in collection of Cheshire Antiques Consultant LTD.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith hanging thread on the back ready for immediate home display. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe only select \u0026amp; sell paintings based upon subject, quality \u0026amp; significance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe provide our clients with friendly professional customer service. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition report. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffered in fine used condition. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe front painting surface is in acceptable overall order with various foxing staining, craquelure also scuffs to the surface and some paint loss in areas with minor painting touch ups to the lower corner area \u0026amp; also to some of the upper sky area commensurate with usage \u0026amp; age.

He was venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, judge, social philosopher, author, statesman, theologian, and noted Renaissance humanist. He also served Henry VIII as Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to May 1532. He wrote Utopia, published in 1516, which describes the political system of an imaginary island state. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore opposed the Protestant Reformation, directing polemics against the theology of Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwingli and William Tyndale. More also opposed Henry VIII's separation from the Catholic Church, refusing to acknowledge Henry as supreme head of the Church of England and the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. After refusing to take the Oath of Supremacy, he was convicted of treason on what he stated was false evidence, and was executed. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore began his studies at Oxford in 1492, and received a classical education. Studying under Thomas Linacre and William Grocyn, he became proficient in both Latin and Greek. More left Oxford after only two years—at his father's insistence—to begin legal training in London at New Inn, one of the Inns of Chancery. In 1496, More became a student at Lincoln's Inn, one of the Inns of Court, where he remained until 1502, when he was called to the Bar. More could speak and banter in Latin with the same facility as in English. He wrote and translated poetry. He was particularly influenced by Pico della Mirandola and translated the Life of Pico into English.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore married Joanna \"Jane\" Colt, the eldest daughter of John Colt of Essex in 1505. In that year he leased a portion of a house known as the Old Barge (originally there had been a wharf nearby serving the Walbrook river) on Bucklersbury, St Stephen Walbrookparish, London. Eight years later he took over the rest of the house and in total he lived there for almost 20 years, until his move to Chelsea in 1525. Erasmus reported that More wanted to give his young wife a better education than she had previously received at home, and tutored her in music and literature. The couple had four children: Margaret, Elizabeth, Cecily, and John. Jane died in 1511. In 1504 More was elected to Parliament to represent Great Yarmouth, and in 1510 began representing London.

Stanhope stands confidently in the foreground, clad in lustrous armor painted in cool greys and silvers, accented by a crimson sash. Behind him, sweeping skies in layered washes of indigo, ochre, and smoky blue create an atmosphere of tension and grandeur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1636\"\u003eAt his side, Marcus Richard Fitzroy Thomas cradles the Earl’s helmet with quiet dignity.

Returning in 1782, he was promoted to Colonel and named Aide-de-Camp to King George III before succeeding his father as Earl. That same year, he married Jane Fleming, whose wealth stemmed from Caribbean plantation holdings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2494\" data-end=\"2943\"\u003eMarcus Richard Fitzroy Thomas, just 14 when painted, likely accompanied Stanhope from Jamaica as part of his retinue. Historical records reveal a compelling life: Marcus was baptized in London — on the same day as one of Stanhope’s children — later joined the Westminster militia as a drummer, married, raised a family, and died in poverty in 1816. He is buried in St. Martin’s Gardens, Camden — a testament to a life lived in the margins of empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2945\" data-end=\"2948\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2950\" data-end=\"2999\"\u003e🧑🎨 Attributed Style: Sir Joshua Reynolds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3000\" data-end=\"3510\"\u003eThough unsigned, the portrait closely follows the mature style of Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–1792), the influential first president of the Royal Academy. Reynolds favored allegorical and heroic treatments of his subjects, often using classical postures and tempestuous skies to elevate his sitters. The Earl’s armor, stance, and background echo these hallmarks — but the humanizing portrayal of Marcus diverges, injecting the piece with an uncharacteristic realism that subtly critiques the Grand Manner itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"3512\" data-end=\"3515\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"3517\" data-end=\"3532\"\u003e🖼️ Frame\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3533\" data-end=\"3929\"\u003ePresented in a recently fitted reverse-profile moulded gold-leaf frame, the work gains a period-authentic aura and enhanced visual impact.
