EDITORS COMMENTS
Catherine (Kitty) Clive: A Remarkable Irish Singer and Actress of the 18th Century This evocative portrait captures the captivating presence of Catherine (Kitty) Clive (1711-1775), an Irish singer and actress who left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment during the 18th century. Born in County Cork, Ireland, Clive's extraordinary talent and charisma brought her acclaim both on the stage and on the concert platform. Clive's career began in the 1730s when she made her debut as a singer in London. Her powerful voice and expressive performances quickly gained her a devoted following. She went on to become one of the most sought-after singers of her time, performing before royalty and the elite. But Clive's true passion was for the stage. She made her acting debut in 1741 and soon became a leading lady in the London theatre scene. Her performances were noted for their intensity and emotional depth, and she was particularly admired for her ability to bring complex characters to life. Despite her success, Clive's personal life was marked by tragedy and scandal. She was married three times, and her stormy relationships with her husbands and other men fueled much gossip and speculation. But through it all, she continued to captivate audiences with her art. This portrait, taken around 1785, captures Clive in the prime of her career. Her piercing gaze and regal bearing speak of a woman of great strength and determination, a true force of nature whose talent and charisma continue to inspire and delight. Catherine (Kitty) Clive remains an intriguing and enigmatic figure in the history of Irish and British theatre and music.
