Born #OnThisDay in 1756: #MariaTheresaofSavoy (1756-1805), Countess of Artois by marriage to Charles Philippe of Bourbon (later King #CharlesX)

The challenge for Gainsborough was that the only commercial avenue for an English artist in his time was portraiture. Nevertheless he painted faces with aplomb. Clayton Jones (1744-5), Conversation in a Park (c1745-6) & Portrait of the Artist, his Wife & Daughter (c1748)
The Elder Tree (1825), Sky Study with Rainbow (1827) & View (1832). For Irish friends @TheHughLane has a superb collection of his sketches.
It’s interesting that his relatively rare male figures are more sensual than his female ones. Was this the reason his figures are so loathe to express authentic emotion? Head of a Girl (c1905), Lamia (1905)& Apollo & Daphne (1908)
Where Wheatley turns away from his group scenes, set against an external landscape, his pictures are less successful. Twelfth Night (1771-2), Mother & Child (c1775), The Wakefield Family (c1774) & John O’Neill, Viscount O’Neill of Shane’s Castle (c1780)
Wheatley’s genius is to place figures in a landscape setting that emphasises their elegance & patrician outlook. The Harvest Wagon (1774), Family Group (c1775), Portrait of a Man (1775) & Jervoise Clarke-Jervoise (c1775)
En gestation chez #WarnerBros depuis 10ans, le studio aurait enfin donné le greenlight? (#JoeDante s’en moquait avec #LethalWeaponBabies).
#MelGibson, #DannyGlover, & le cinéaste #RichardDonner, reviendront pour #LArmeFatale5 (#LethalWeapon5), selon le producteur Dan Lin.
He became an Associate of the RA in 1864, rising to become President (1878-96). Male Figure (1865), Mrs James Guthrie (1866), Courtyard of a Mosque (1867) & the Isle of Chios (c1867). His success meant that he was able to gain financially from the society portrait market.
One of the great triumphs of science in the Renaissance were Leonardo’s botanical studies of plants. Lady with Unicorn (c1480), Lily (1480-5), St Jerome (1480) & St Sebastian (1480-1). St Sebastian was often used as a coded symbol for gay artists.
Arthur Hughes (1831-1915), peintre et illustrateur anglais préraphaélique.

In 2018, @Latinotype released their interpretation of Windsor (1905), “Recoleta”—a commercial success. Continuing to ride the 1970’s wave, their recently published “Moranga” (https://t.co/FETjuXHq1Z) by @sofia_mohr is a take on Cooper (Black) and Souvenir. #366fonts (26)

This portrait comes from Abner D. Jones, ed. The Illustrated American Biography, vol. 3 (1855), p. 255. I feel confident in my minor corrections to Mowatt’s brow and eyelids here because this portrait is based on the photo used for her 1854 autobiography. #AnnaCoraMowatt
