EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, in all his regal splendor. Painted by James Lonsdale on a grand canvas measuring 316x172.5 cm, this oil masterpiece is housed in Nottingham City Museums and Galleries at Newstead Abbey. Augustus Frederick was the sixth son and ninth child of King George III and Queen Charlotte. Known for his liberal views, he stood out amongst his aristocratic family as a man who challenged societal norms. In this painting, he exudes an air of confidence and authority befitting his royal lineage. Dressed in opulent finery, the duke dons a magnificent cape adorned with gold embellishments that cascade down to his breeches. A crown rests atop his head, symbolizing both power and nobility. The background showcases a cityscape hinting at the influence he held within society. Lonsdale's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate collar framing Augustus Frederick's face to the luxurious velvet cloak draping over him. The artist even includes touches such as ermine fur trimmings and a ruff collar which further accentuate the duke's status among aristocracy. This remarkable portrait not only immortalizes Prince Augustus Frederick but also serves as a testament to an era defined by opulence and grandeur. It stands as a reminder of one man's determination to challenge convention while proudly embracing his noble heritage.
