The North Family at Glemham, 1715-16
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on copper portrait by Peter Vanderbank that offers a glimpse into the lives of an affluent family in early 18th century England. The painting showcases the grandeur of Little Glemham Hall, an Elizabethan stately home in Suffolk, which serves as the backdrop for this exquisite family portrait. The composition features Dudley North and his wife Catherine, who was the daughter of Elihu Yale, founder of Yale University. They are surrounded by their children - two sons and two daughters - creating a harmonious group dynamic. The children's youthful innocence is beautifully captured as they stand alongside their parents. Intriguingly, amidst this familial scene stands a classical statue, symbolizing both elegance and timelessness. This juxtaposition highlights the family's refined taste and appreciation for art. The lush deer park visible through the open windows adds to the sense of opulence associated with English stately homes during this era. It also reflects their privileged lifestyle and connection to nature. Vanderbank's skillful brushwork brings out intricate details such as Queen Anne-style furnishings within the hall itself. These elements further emphasize the family's status and social standing within society. Overall, "The North Family at Glemham" provides us with a window into aristocratic life in early Georgian England while showcasing Vanderbank's talent for capturing not only likeness but also atmosphere and symbolism in portraiture.
