The Gore Family with George, third Earl Cowper
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating portrait captured by the talented artist Johan Zoffany in 1775. This exquisite print showcases English art collector and patron George Clavering-Cowper, the 3rd Earl Cowper, surrounded by his beloved family members. In this painting, we witness a tender moment as Cowper stands proudly alongside his wife Emilie Gore and their children Elizabeth, Hannah Anne, and Charles. The composition beautifully captures the essence of family dynamics during the 18th century. The focus of attention seems to be on Hannah Anne Gore, positioned at the top left corner of the portrait. Her youthful charm hints at her upcoming nuptials with an aspiring groom standing beside her father. It was on June 2nd, 1775 that Cowper married sixteen-year-old Hannah Anne in what must have been a joyous occasion for all involved. Zoffany's masterful use of color and detail brings this historical scene to life. The presence of musical instruments such as a keyboard instrument (possibly a harpsichord) and a cello suggests that music played an important role in this cultured family's life. This remarkable piece now resides in the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut where it continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of love, familial bonds, and artistic expression from centuries past.
