Item Details
Description
This is an original oil painting portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence PRA FRS (English, 1769 – 1830) of John Porter, Bishop of Clogher (d. 1819). Sir Lawrence was born in Bristol and began drawing in Devizes, where his father was an innkeeper at the Bear Hotel in the Market Square. At the age of ten, having moved to Bath, he was supporting his family with his pastel portraits. At eighteen he went to London and soon established his reputation as a portrait painter in oils, receiving his first royal commission, a portrait of Queen Charlotte, in 1790. Notably, he was the fourth president of the Royal Academy. He stayed at the top of his profession until his death, aged 60.
