EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Charles Brandling, a prominent figure in 17th-century England. Painted by John Verelst in 1698, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 127x101.6 cm and is currently housed at Leeds Museums and Art Galleries. Charles Brandling belonged to the esteemed Brandlings of Newcastle, a wealthy family known for their success as merchants and owners of land and coal in Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumberland. The painting showcases his status and wealth through symbolic elements such as his elaborate silk neckscarf, traditional attire, and meticulously styled wig. The artist skillfully portrays Charles with great attention to detail, capturing not only his physical features but also his confident gesture and commanding presence. The vibrant red drapery adds a touch of drama to the composition while emphasizing his position as a successful businessman. This portrait serves as a window into the world of British trade during the Baroque era. It offers insight into the fashion trends, hairstyles, and overall aesthetic preferences prevalent among English elites at that time. With its rich historical context and exquisite artistic execution, this print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship of Verelst's work and Charles Brandling's significant role in shaping Newcastle's economic landscape.
