EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by George Knapton that showcases the distinguished figure of Charles Sackville, the Earl of Middlesex and later the 2nd Duke of Dorset. Commissioned by the Society of Dilettanti, an esteemed group supporting the study of ancient Greek and Roman art after their Grand Tour, this portrait exudes elegance and sophistication. In this remarkable artwork, Sackville stands tall with an air of authority befitting his noble status. The artist skillfully captures every detail, from his finely tailored clothing to his confident gaze. The painting reflects both English grandeur and classical influences as it embodies "viva la virtu" - a celebration of knowledge and culture. Sackville's involvement in various spheres is evident through symbolic elements within the composition. As a member of parliament and politician, he holds a position at the heart of England's political landscape. Additionally, references to cricketing attire suggest his passion for sportsmanship while alluding to his role as Lord Buckhurst in founding one of England's earliest cricket clubs. This portrait not only immortalizes an influential figure but also serves as a testament to Georgian society's fascination with travel and exploration during the Grand Tour era. It encapsulates both Grecian taste and Roman spirit – ideals that were highly valued among intellectuals at that time.
