About the Item
Outstanding early 18th century English portrait of James Bellevue.
The portrait was always believed to be the work of Sir Godfrey Kneller who was known to have painted James Bellevue for his house in London.
This piece was sold through Christie's on July 13th, 1931. Previously it was in the collection of the world-famous Spencer Churchill family.
The painting ended up in a collection of paintings from the Spencer -Churchill sale in America where we were lucky to purchase them.
This painting was in good order and we had it cleaned and found an appropriate hand-carved 18th century English oval frame to frame the piece.
See the interesting paper inscription on the reverse.

This piece came from a private collection in New Jersey where it had been since it was purchased in France back in the 1950s.

The piece was re-framed in the 1990s In 35 years of dealing in paintings, I have never seen another example of this scene, it is very rare.! History of the scene: In the Siege of Hüningen (27 November 1796 – 1 February 1797), the Austrians captured the city from the French. Hüningen is in the present-day Department of Haut-Rhin, France. Its fortress lay approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of the Swiss city of Basel and .5 miles (0.80 km) north of the spot where the present-day borders of Germany, France, and Switzerland meet. During the time of this siege, the village was part of the Canton of Basel City and the fortress lay in an area contested between the German states and the First French Republic. The siege occurred within the French Revolutionary Wars during which Revolutionary France ranged...Category
