EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are transported back to the late 18th century and introduced to Mr. John Julius Angerstein and his second wife, Eliza Payne. Painted by Thomas Lawrence in 1792, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of a Georgian couple with its exquisite detail and timeless elegance. Mr. Angerstein, a prominent banker and renowned art collector of his time, is depicted as a distinguished gentleman with an air of confidence. His gaze reflects both intelligence and sophistication, while his attire exudes wealth and refinement. Beside him stands Eliza Payne, his beloved second wife who married him in 1785. She radiates gracefulness with her delicate features beautifully captured by Lawrence's brushstrokes. The composition showcases their harmonious union as they stand side by side against a neutral background that allows their presence to shine through effortlessly. The artist skillfully portrays their deep connection through subtle gestures - Mr. Angerstein gently rests his hand on Eliza's shoulder while she gazes affectionately at him. This double portrait not only immortalizes the love between husband and wife but also serves as a testament to Mr. Angerstein's passion for art collecting - an interest that would later lead to the establishment of London's National Gallery. Now housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this painting continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of an era long gone yet still resonates today through its portrayal
