John Thomlinson and His Family, 1745 - A Glimpse into 18th Century British Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this group portrait by Arthur Devis, we are transported back to the year 1745 and introduced to John Thomlinson and his family. The painting, rendered in oil on canvas, captures a moment of domestic bliss within the walls of their elegant drawing room. The composition showcases the entire Thomlinson family - husband, wife, children, and even their loyal dog. Dressed in fashionable attire of the time, each member exudes a distinct personality. The father figure stands proudly beside the fireplace mantelpiece while his wife radiates gracefulness seated nearby. The children - two daughters and a son - display youthful innocence as they engage with one another amidst an opulent setting adorned with intricate rugs and luxurious furnishings. Their expressions reflect both curiosity and contentment. As we delve deeper into this artwork's narrative layers, it becomes evident that religion played an important role in the lives of these individuals. John Thomlinson himself is portrayed as a churchman or clergyman; perhaps he was deeply devoted to his faith. Arthur Devis masterfully captures not only the physical appearances but also the essence of familial love and unity within this intimate scene. This painting serves as a testament to both British heritage artistry during the 18th century and our universal human desire for connection through generations. Displayed at The Art Institute Chicago's gallery space dedicated to European paintings from centuries
