Thomas Spencer18th century English portrait of the Duke of Newcastle upon his horse incirca 1760
circa 1760
About the Item
Thomas Spencer was a leading sporting and equestrian artist of the period of John Wootton and James Seymour; his art shows a considerable to debt to that of the latter. It is seems highly likely that the two shared commissions, for instance in the large group of equestrian portraits which were painted for the Jolliffe family at Ammerdown House. The common thread was perhaps Thomas Butler of Pall Mall, an artist and dealer, who commissioned a number of artists to work for him, including Richard Roper, Francis Sartorius and Spencer himself ,from his premises in Pall Mall in London.
This painting depicts the Duke of Newcastle seated upon his horse in an extensive landscape, wearing his Garter Star, being a member of 'The Most Noble Order of the Garter',
The Duke was famous for the breeding of the Climber Spaniels on his estate .
The painting has been in a private collection in the UK for about 15 years and has recently been reframed in a 'Lely' panel style English hand made frame

C19th Portrait Princesse de Joinville of Brazil - Spectacular fit for a palace
By Henri d'Ainecy Montpezat
Located in London, GB
Portrait of Princess de Joinville riding a Bay Horse
Henri d’Aincy, Le Comte Monpezat (French 1817-1859)
Painted circa 1837-9
oil on canvas
113 x 92 inches (including frame)
92 x 70 inches (unframed)
Provenance – from a private royal collection
This magnificent portrait depicts Princess de Joinville, the daughter of Pedro I, Emperor of Brazil and the King of Portugal. Through her illustrious family she was directly related Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia and the Russian royal family, as well as to many of the great ruling families of Europe.
The work clearly confirms Monpezat as one of the most accomplished equestrian portrait painters in France in the early nineteenth century. In terms of scale, quality and dramatic power, it must surely be considered amongst his finest works. The stance of the powerful thoroughbred - in half rear - emphasises the calm nature and courage of the Princess.
Francisca of Brazil (1824-98) married a son of Louis Philippe I, the King of the French, and had three children. Born at the Imperial Palace of Saint Christopher, her youngest brother was the future Pedro II...
