Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (French, 1755 - 1842) Life Study of Lady Hamilton as the Cumaean Sybil, 1792 The Met Museum

Emma Hamilton (1765–1815) rose from the lowest rank of society to the peak of distinction by marrying, in 1791, Sir William Hamilton, English ambassador to Naples. There she was famous for her “attitudes”—tableaux vivants performed before swooning audiences who felt themselves transported back to antiquity.

Description

Emma Hamilton (1765–1815) rose from the lowest rank of society to the peak of distinction by marrying, in 1791, with Sir William Hamilton, English ambassador to Naples. There she was famous for her “attitudes”- tableaux vivants performed before swooning audiences who felt themselves transported back to antiquity. This study from life preceded a larger composition that Vigée Le Brun carried with her throughout Europe and Russia to promote her work.

Emma, Lady Hamilton performed her classically-inspired 'attitudes' from 1787 to audiences of invited guests in Naples, where her husband Sir William was British Envoy. In 1794 the attitudes were the subject of a set of engravings by Tommaso Piroli, here printed on ochre prepared paper to echo the Greek vase paintings on which Lady Hamilton based her act. Piroli’s prints (and implicitly Lady Hamilton, by then resident back in London) were mocked by James Gillray in an 1807 series showing the renowned beauty as an ungainly frump. Both sets were purchased by the future George IV, the Pirolis from Colnaghi in 1816, the satires from Hannah Humphrey on publication in 1807.

Guys, he bought the satires first. You cannot convince me that Prinny bought them because he thought they made Emma Hamilton look like "an ungainly frump". He probably thought she looked amazing.
