Image description

William Hoare of Bath, RA (Eye 1707 – Bath 1792). Oil painting on canvas, Lord John Augustus Hervey (1757-1796), presented by his father Frederick Augustus Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry (1730-1803) to William Pitt the elder, 1st Earl of Chatham (1708-1778) by William Hoare of Bath, RA (Eye 1707 – Bath 1792), signed, lower right: Wm Hoare / pt 1771. Three three-quarter-length portraits, the Earl-Bishop, seated at the left of a table, wearing dark clerical clothes and blue coat, presents his son, dressed as a midshipman in rich blue coat with gilt buttons, cream waistcoat with gilt buttons, matching breeches, holding sword hilt in his left hand, and with short light brown hair, to William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham, seated on the right dressed in deep red coat and breeches, white shirt with cravat and lace frill at wrists, long white stockings, who holds a plan of a fort on a river in his right hand, his right arm resting on a table covered with a green cloth; green draped curtain on right-hand side. The full novelty of this – it must be admitted, awkwardly composed – picture never seems to have been appreciated. Although Chatham was alive (but a good deal older) when it was painted, he is shown in another sphere from the Earl-Bishop and his son, almost like a divine apparition. What sources can the artist – and his patron – have been drawing on? In 1770 Chatham, a former Prime Minister, made a powerful speech insisting on the importance of British naval power. John Augustus was about to embark on a naval career and this picture seems to represent a kind of secular blessing by the object of his father’s admiration Ickworth, Suffolk (Accredited Museum)
