Thomas Hudson 18th Century English Portrait
About the Item
Important English school painting by the great artist Thomas Hudson (Devonshire 1701 - Twickenham 1779)
It depicts the portrait of Harry Gray (1715-1768), 4th Earl of Stamford, a subject which the artist has repeatedly taken up.
This artwork, never before on the market, comes from a private collection and is beautified by an impressive antique frame in gilded wood.
Every item of our Gallery, upon request, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Sabrina Egidi official Expert in Italian furniture for the Chamber of Commerce of Rome and for the Rome Civil Courts.
Thomas Hudson (1701–1779) was an English painter, almost exclusively of portraits.
Hudson was born in Devonshire in 1701.
His exact birthplace is unknown. He studied under Jonathan Richardson in London and, against the latter's wishes, married Richardson's daughter at some point before 1725.
Hudson was most prolific between 1740 and 1760 and, from 1745 until 1755 was the most successful London portraitist.
He had many assistants, and employed the specialist drapery painter Joseph Van Aken.
Joshua Reynolds, Joseph Wright and the drapery painter Peter Toms were his students.
Hudson visited the Low Countries in 1748 and Italy in 1752.
In 1753 he bought a house at Cross Deep, Twickenham, just upstream from Pope's Villa.
He retired toward the end of the 1750s. William Hickey described the elderly Hudson, "His figure was rather grotesque, being uncommonly low in stature, with a prodigious belly, and constantly wearing a large white bushy periwig.
He was remarkably good tempered, and one of my first-rate favourites, notwithstanding that he often told me I should certainly be hanged.".
He died at Twickenham in 1779.
His extensive private art collection was sold off in three separate sales.
Many of Hudson's works may be seen in art galleries throughout the United Kingdom.
They include the National Portrait Gallery, the National Maritime Museum, Tate, Barnstaple Guildhall, Foundling Museum and the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery.
This artwork is shipped from Rome. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died can requires a license for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the license according to the destination of the artwork.
