Portrait of George Pitt, First Lord Rivers, c. 1768-1769. Creator: Thomas Gainsborough (British
Portrait of George Pitt, First Lord Rivers, c. 1768-1769. Although George Pitt reputedly led a life of debauchery while living in Turin, Italy, in the 1760s, Gainsborough successfully conveys a refined sense of dignity and importance in this full-length portrait. Pitt wears the uniform of the Dorset militia, where he served as a colonel, and the painter offsets the deep scarlet and green facing of Pitts military uniform with the cool, woodland landscape painted in thin washes of mauves, grays, and silvers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print, titled "Portrait of George Pitt, First Lord Rivers" was created by the renowned British artist Thomas Gainsborough around 1768-1769. Despite rumors of George Pitt's scandalous lifestyle during his time in Turin, Italy, Gainsborough skillfully captures a sense of refined dignity and significance in this full-length depiction. Pitt is portrayed wearing the distinguished uniform of the Dorset militia, where he held the rank of colonel. The deep scarlet and green facing of his military attire stands out against the backdrop of a serene woodland landscape. Gainsborough masterfully employs delicate washes of mauves, grays, and silvers to create an ethereal atmosphere that complements Pitt's commanding presence. The painting showcases Gainsborough's exceptional talent for capturing both physical likeness and inner character. With meticulous attention to detail and subtle brushwork, he brings forth Pitt's noble bearing while hinting at his complex personality beneath the surface. Now preserved as an oil on canvas masterpiece in The Cleveland Museum of Art collection, this stunning artwork by Thomas Gainsborough serves as a testament to his artistic genius during the 18th century. It offers viewers a glimpse into not only George Pitt's life but also reflects upon broader themes such as power dynamics within society and the intersection between military service and personal identity.
