ABSTRACT A theatrical portrait is an image of an actor or actors in character. This genre was widespread in eighteenth century London and was practised by a large number of painters and engravers of all levels of ability. The sources of the genre lay in a number of diverse styles of art, including the court portraits of Lely and Kneller and the fetes galantes of Watteau and Mercier. Three types of media for theatrical portraits were particularly prevalent in London, between ca745 and 1800 : painting, print and book illustration.

Mount a couple of quadrupeds, or one if it carries double and high away to the reverend Rigdom Funnydose there to be merry, facetious, mad and nonsensical. ' ROBIN SIMON: Well they were certainly facetious. The house party acted, at least to their great enjoyment, what was described as a little bawdy play by Garrick, entitled Rag-and-jaw – rag and jaw. At this stage I think I ought to make one thing clear about Georgian life and humour, it’s, well how shall we put it, very down to earth. And so if you wish you may put your hands over your ears now. Rag-and-jaw is a skit upon the relationship between Brutus and Cassius in Julius Caesar, only now of course inevitably the characters are Brute-arse and Cassy-arse. I didn't say that Georgian, Georgian hjour was subtle. <Footer addr ess> Accompanied by Lucius, oh sorry Loose-arse. Garrick played Cassy-arse and the reverend John Hoadly was Brute-arse.

  • Representations of the Child, Displayed at Vauxhall Gardens and the Foundling Hospital R06572 Represent
    Representations of the Child, displayed at Vauxhall Gardens and the Foundling Hospital R06572 Representations of the Child, displayed at Vauxhall Gardens and the Foundling Hospital by Miriam Al Jamil Essay for MA in Eighteenth­Century Studies King’s College, London, 2013 1 Representations of the Child, displayed at Vauxhall Gardens and the Foundling Hospital R06572 Interesting comparisons can be made between the visual display experienced from the 1740's by the 'pleasure­seeker' at Vauxhall Gardens and the 'polite spectator' at the Foundling Hospital. This essay will discuss the context and a few of the representations of the child chosen by Francis Hayman for his supper­box paintings at Vauxhall Gardens, alongside his possible sources. One of Samuel Wale's prints of the Foundling Hospital and the display of art there will then be considered. I will also explore aspects of the visibility or otherwise of children at each venue, and the disconnect which could occur. Both venues could form part of a day's pleasurable excursions,1 as they were for John Loveday who listed them in his diary in 1754.2 The venues chosen were enterprises organised in different ways to elicit money from visitors, either for commercial gain or as charitable subscription. Loveday went to the studio of Rysbrack during his day in London, a sculptor who was an influential part of the circle including Hogarth, Hayman and Highmore, all involved in the decorative schemes at Vauxhall Gardens or the Foundling Hospital. He can be characterised as typically part of the developing associative public sphere in the eighteenth century, participating as an informed citizen in the life of the capital.

Performing Identities in the art of John Singer Sargent Abstract In the elegant society portraits by John Singer Sargent, body language created social identities. The fallen dress strap and obvious makeup in Madame X, for example, declared her a “professional beauty”; the costume of Charles Stewart proclaimed him a British lord. Critics often conflated appearance and character in Sargent's images, yet Sargent used theatre and masquerade in numerous works to problematize essentialist links between appearance and character that were fundamental to turn-of-the-century class, gender, and racial stereotypes. This dissertation concentrates on the art Sargent produced after Madame X, as he recovered from the scandal it provoked in 1884 and as he established his patron base in England and America. Many of Sargent's later works can be seen as a response to the issues raised by Madame X concerning the relationship between appearance and character. An analysis of theatrical elements in Sargent's paintings elucidates the function of these images in variously maintaining and challenging notions of social identity. Chapter One discusses the critical reception of Sargent's art in the context of a turn-of-the-century culture engaged in classification and performance activities.

  • John Collet (Ca
    JOHN COLLET (CA. 1725-1780) A COMMERCIAL COMIC ARTIST TWO VOLUMES VOLUME I CAITLIN BLACKWELL PhD University of York Department of History of Art December 2013 ii ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on the comic work of the English painter John Collet (ca. 1725- 1780), who flourished between 1760 and 1780, producing mostly mild social satires and humorous genre subjects. In his own lifetime, Collet was a celebrated painter, who was frequently described as the ‘second Hogarth.’ His works were known to a wide audience; he regularly participated in London’s public exhibitions, and more than eighty comic prints were made after his oil paintings and watercolour designs. Despite his popularity and prolific output, however, Collet has been largely neglected by modern scholars. When he is acknowledged, it is generally in the context of broader studies on graphic satire, consequently confusing his true profession as a painter and eliding his contribution to London’s nascent exhibition culture. This study aims to rescue Collet from obscurity through in-depth analysis of his mostly unfamiliar works, while also offering some explanation for his exclusion from the British art historical canon. His work will be located within both the arena of public exhibitions and the print market, and thus, for the first time, equal attention will be paid to the extant paintings, as well as the reproductive prints. The thesis will be organised into a succession of close readings of Collet’s work, with each chapter focusing on a few representative examples of a significant strand of imagery. These images will be examined from art-historical and socio-historical perspectives, thereby demonstrating the artist’s engagement with both established pictorial traditions, and ephemeral and topical social preoccupations.
