1711 1775 Brudenell Creation Duchess Gainsborough Montagu Portait
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the elegance and grace of Mary Duchess of Montagu (1711-1775), the beloved daughter of John Montagu, the 2nd Duke of Montagu. Mary's marriage to George Brudenell-Brudenell, the 2nd Duke of Monmouth and Buckingham, marked the second creation of the Dukedom of Monmouth. The portrait, painted by the renowned artist Thomas Gainsborough between 1740 and 1745, showcases Mary's refined beauty and poised demeanor. Her delicate features, adorned with pearls and a diadem, are framed by a cascade of golden curls. The rich, velvet background adds a regal touch to the image, emphasizing Mary's noble status. Mary's father, John Montagu, was a prominent figure in English politics and society during the early 18th century. He served as Lord Chamberlain and Lord President of the Council under King George I. Mary's marriage to George Brudenell-Brudenell, a descendant of the famous Monmouth Rebellion leader, brought together two powerful and influential families. The portrait is a testament to the artistic prowess of Thomas Gainsborough, who was known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. Mary's portrait is a prime example of his mastery of light, color, and composition. The painting is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the lives of the aristocracy during the Georgian era.
