The Marquis of Londonderry, King of the Tournament
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of chivalry and romance. Created by James Henry Nixon in pencil and watercolor on paper, this artwork measures 34.5x50.5 cm and belongs to a private collection. This exquisite piece serves as a preliminary design for Plate IV of a book lithographed by Day and Haghe, published by Colnaghi and Puckle in London in 1843. The book titled "The Eglinton Tournament: A Series of views representing the Tournament held at Eglinton Castle in the year 1839" features drawings made on-site by J H Nixon with historical and descriptive notices provided by Rev. John Richardson LLB. In this particular image, we see The Right Honourable Charles William Stewart (later Vane), 3rd Marquess of Londonderry (1778-1854), who was not only a British soldier but also a politician and nobleman. He is depicted wearing an elegant ermine robe while mounted on his horse during the tournament. The painting beautifully portrays the spirit of medieval jousting, capturing both the athleticism required for such sport as well as its romantic allure. It transports viewers back to an era where honor, bravery, and skill were celebrated virtues. With its meticulous details and expert use of color, "The Marquis of Londonderry, King of the Tournament" remains an iconic representation within sporting art history—a testament to both Nixon's artistic talent and his ability to capture moments frozen in time through his brushstrokes.
