John Hervey Portrait on occasion of receiving the Title 1st Earl of Bristol
About the Item
Portrait of John Hervey, 1st Earl of Bristol (1665-1751).
Early 18th-century near-life-size portrait of a noble man richly dressed in a long wig.
Circle of the German-British court painter Gottfried Kneller (Lübeck, 1646-1723, London).
Technique: oil on canvas, relined.
Modern wooden frame.
On the back of the canvas, there is an inscription: Frederic Hervey Earl of Bristol, 1764, however we believe that the date reported there is wrong.
On the stylistic basis and evident resemblance to him, we believe that Frederic's grandfather is represented : John Harvey.
The painting represents a man looking towards us with a barely visible smile, extremely elegant.
John Harvey (1665-1751) was an English politician of the Whig party, who became a member of the English parliament for his city of Bristol in 1694. The family owned a well-known property, Ickworth House, in Suffolk. Interesting fact: at the end of the 18th century, a stupendous neoclassical villa was built, intended to contain the family's art collection, but the project failed due to Napoleon's raids.
The painting can certainly be attributed to the first quarter of the 18th century and with a high probability it is a portrait made at the moment in which John Hervey becomes the first Earl of Bristol, i.e. when he receives this noble title.
In the Collection of Ickworth house, Suffolk, it is preserved
another portrait of John Harvey, done by the French portraitist Jean-Baptist van Loo from 1742.
The painting is in fair condition, the painting has undergone cleanings and restorations in the past. There are some retouches and abrasions attributable to ancient restorations,
The frame is from the 20th century.
Painter Godfrey Kneller served as the official court painter in England. Among his portraits are numerous depictions of British monarchs, including Charles II of England and George I of Great Britain. Perhaps his most famous portrait is that of Isaac Newton, and he also painted a portrait of Louis XIV, the French king. Godfrey Kneller, in turn, was the son of a portraitist. He studied in Leiden, apprenticing under Ferdinand Bol, and later in Amsterdam under Rembrandt van Rijn.
After traveling, including visits to Rome and Venice in the early 1670s, he painted historical subjects and portraits in Carlo Maratta's studio before heading to Hamburg.
Moved to England in 1676.

- Adriana Pincherle (1905- 1996). A lady with a turban and green shadows.By Adriana PincherleLocated in Firenze, ITAdriana Pincherle, (1905, Rome - 1996, Florence). A lady with a turban and green shadows in a landscape. Italian female painter, active in Rome and from 1943 in Florence. Painting signed and dated lower right: Adriana Pincherle. 1973. Oil painting on canvas. The simple composition, which represents a woman from behind, bears the influence of Matisse's avant-garde style, with bold and refined color combinations. The shape is created with color, creating an almost surreal and highly expressive effect. The painter once said: "My painting has always been figurative, not realistic. In this sense I felt very similar to the Informal movement, which, fundamentally, pushed my passion for color to the extreme." FREE SHIPPING in Italy and Europe Artist Biography: Pincherle Adriana Rome 25 December 1905 - Florence 8 January 1996 Adriana was born in Rome on 25 December 1905, into a family in which two cultures were intertwined: the Jewish one of her father, the engineer Carlo Pincherle, of Venetian origins and in love with painting, and the Catholic one of her mother, Isa di she. De Marsanich, a noble but decayed Hungarian. Adriana is the eldest child and two years older than her brother Alberto, known to the literary world under the pseudonym Alberto Moravia As Pincherle herself says about her, as a child she spent hours admiring her father who painted watercolours, and it was perhaps then that her interest in drawing and above all her particular sensitivity towards color was born. Thus, having completed her classical studies, she began to attend the "ladies" atelier of the engraver Alfredo Petrucci and the free nude courses at the Academy, where she met Mimmo Spadini and Scipione, and came into contact with Roman art. In 1931 she made her debut at the collective "First Roman exhibition of female art" at the "Galleria di Roma", while the following year, at the same gallery, she exhibited a solo show together with Corrado Cagli, already attracting the attention of critics, famous comment by Longhi, cited several times by Pincherle herself, who prefers the "sissy" between the two artists. As evidence of the results achieved by Adriana since her first works, we remember that among her works presented in 1932 there was also the famous "Standing Self-Portrait", now in the Uffizi Pincherle's growth passes through places and periods common to both the Roman School and the school of painters of the via Cavour group (Mafai, Raphaël, Scipione), with tangents and deviations, but his pictorial research arrives at original solutions independent of any label . Fundamental to the maturation of her art was her stay in Paris in 1933, in which Pincherle admired and studied closely the Fauves, Renoir and in particular Matisse. In the same year she exhibited for the first time in Florence at the Sala d'arte delle Nazioni with Milena Barilli...Category
