Portrait of John, Lord Belasyse (1614-1689)

Cornelius de Neve, was born in Antwerp, possibly training under the Dutchman Mierveldt and settling in London by 1627. It has been suggested he possibly associated with Van Dyck, though his works show a strong debt to painting in England prior to his arrival, particularly John de Critz who was his stepfather.
John Belasyse was born to a Yorkshire Catholic family. A soldier and administrator, during the Civil War, he raised six regiments for the king. He was imprisoned by the Parliamentarians on four occasions and was shot in the head during one battle, but recovered and remained a loyal royalist throughout the wars and Interregnum. At the Restoration his career was frustrated by his Catholicism; he was forced to resign as Governor of Tangier, and was implicated in the alleged Popish Plot (1678) for which he was imprisoned in the Tower for six years. Following James II’s accession to the throne, Belasyse took up a position at Court and in 1686 he was appointed Private Councillor of the King and the following year, First Lord of the Treasury. From 1671 until his death he lived at Whitton near Twickenham and was visited there by Samuel Pepys, who was impressed by Belasyse’s large collection of paintings.
Probably painted around 1635 it, if nothing else, is a detailed and decorative account of what the sitter wore, the clothes being almost identical to those depicted by Gilbert Jackson in a full length portrait, long held to be Lord Belasyse. Within a year of this portrait Van Dyck also produced a masterful rendition of the young nobleman.

- Portrait of a Young Gentleman, Pieter Van Der Dvssen; by Jan van HaensbergenBy Jan Van HaensbergenLocated in London, GBPortrait of a Young Gentleman, Pieter Van Der Dvssen c.1664 Jan van Haensbergen (1642–1705) This charming portrait is an excellent example of late 17th century child portraiture and is from one of the most prolific periods in art history – the Dutch Golden Age. A vast number of artists produced work to fulfil the demands and tastes of a broad Dutch society, and many cities in the Netherlands developed into distinct artistic centres, characterised by style and specialities of subject. The quality of our portrait is similar to the works of the highly specialised ‘fijnschilders’, who were working in Leiden at the time; these artists executed meticulous small-scale paintings. As with the artist’s other works of children, Haensbergen painstakingly recorded many details including a fine depiction of the face, and the surface effects of the materials and the pearl clasps. The young sitter is Walther Bernt Pieter Van der Dussen. He was born into a wealthy noble Catholic family in Delft in 1654. In this portrait he would be around ten years of age, dating the work to circa 1664, which is also the year before the artist’s marriage to Johanna van Heusden. The Van der Dussen family were great patrons of the arts and commissioned a number of major works from eminent artists in Delft & Amsterdam. Van der Dussen died in 1716. The wooded setting, the lamb, and the “picturesque” or “Roman” dress...Category

- Portrait of an Elegant Lady in a Red Silk Dress, Beautiful Antique Frame c.1720By Jonathan Richardson the ElderLocated in London, GBThis beautiful portrait was painted circa 1725 and is a fine example of the English eighteenth century portrait style. The artist has chosen to depict the lady against a plain background wearing a simple red silk dress and transparent headdress hanging down the back. The sitter is not shown with jewellery or any other elements to distract the viewer’s attached, thus highlighting the beauty of the young sitter. This restrained manner achieves a sense of understated elegance. The portrait genre was valued particularly highly in English society. Neither landscapes nor allegorical pictures were ever priced so highly at exhibitions and in the trade as depictions of people, from the highest aristocracy to scholars, writers, poets and statesmen. With the rich colouring and lyrical characterisation, these works are representative of the archetypal English portrait and is are very appealing examples of British portraiture...Category
