Isabel (Swinburne) and Thomas Crathorne

Artist: Francis Cotes (British, 1726-1770)

Date: 1767

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens, San Marino, CA, United States

Biography

Thomas Crathorne was born in 1721, the only son of Margaret (Trapps) and George Crathorne. He descended from a Roman Catholic family in the North Riding of Yorkshire with an ancient history of piety and a strong tradition of recusancy. The Crathornes were unusual in the region for sustaining both faith and fortune well into the late eighteenth century. On his uncle Ralph's death in April 1755, Thomas succeeded to the estates of East Ness and Crathorne Hall in the North Riding, which had been in the family's possession since the fourteenth century. Four months later, on August 13, 1755, in Hovingham, Yorkshire, he married Isabel Swinburne, who also descended from a venerable northern Catholic family. She was born on November 8, 1731, the eighth of eleven children of Sir John Swinburne (1698-1745), 3rd Bart., of Chapeaton, Northumberland, and his wife, Mary (d. 1761), only daughter and heir of Edward Bedingfeld. Among her four brothers were Henry Swinburne (1743-1803), the cosmopolitan antiquarian and travel writer, and Sir Edward Swinburne (1733-1786), 5th Bart., great grandfather of the poet Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909). Thomas and Isabel resided at Crathorne Hall and had five children. Little more is known of their lives. Thomas died at home on February 21, 1764 at the age of forty-three. His wife became sole administrator of his estate, which she held in trust for his heir, seven-year-old Henry Ralph (1757-1797). Thirty-three years old at the time of her husband's death, Isabel Crathorne never remarried. The date of her death is unknown.

100 followers gift!

First of all, I would like to thank you all for this amazing year! It's been a pleasure meeting you all and I'm beyond thankful for your support.

Spread among 13 occupied and historic royal residences in the United Kingdom, the collection is owned by King Charles III and overseen by the Royal Collection Trust. The British monarch owns some of the collection in right of the Crown and some as a private individual. It is made up of over one million objects, including 7,000 paintings, over 150,000 works on paper, this including 30,000 watercolours and drawings, and about 450,000 photographs, as well as around 700,000 works of art, including tapestries, furniture, ceramics, textiles, carriages, weapons, armour, jewellery, clocks, musical instruments, tableware, plants, manuscripts, books, and sculptures.

Some of the buildings which house the collection, such as Hampton Court Palace, are open to the public and not lived in by the Royal Family, whilst others, such as Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the most remarkable of them, Buckingham Palace are both residences and open to the public.

About 3,000 objects are on loan to museums throughout the world, and many others are lent on a temporary basis to exhibitions.

Fairy Names Pt. 2

Fly with you! It’s been a while hasn’t it? Anyway, I’m here for a second part of one of my most popular posts.

The first post listed fairy names that were used in the DS game “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue” in the create-a-fairy section of the game. While the names provided were feminine, I have pulled all of the masculine fairy names from the original Pixie Hollow game. Some names are repeats from the original post, but I kept them in as I wanted to get this out as soon as possible. I hope you enjoy. Here’s the original post.

Admiral Sir Edward Hawke 1705-1781 1st Baron Hawke

Artist: Francis Cotes

Genre: Portrait

Date: 1768-1770; 1768-70

Location: Not on Display

Credit: National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London, Greenwich Hospital Collection

A three-quarter-length portrait showing the sitter slightly to the right. He wears flag-officer's undress uniform, 1767-83, of blue jacket and gold braid with the ribbon and star of the Order of Bath and a tie-wig. He holds his sword in his right hand and stands against a rocky background with, on the left, the fleet at anchor together with a barge flying the Union flag.

Hawke is best known for his defeat of the French fleet in Quiberon Bay in November 1759 - an extremely hazardous action fought close in on a rocky coast, in the fading light of a November evening. This crowned an already distinguished active career in which he had been knighted in 1747, as a very junior rear-admiral, for his victory over the French at the Second Battle of Cape Finisterre. He was later First Lord of the Admiralty, 1766-71 and became Admiral of the Fleet in 1768, but was five years into retirement before George III (who disapproved of his political views) eventually made him 1st Baron Hawke. Cotes was a pastellist who turned to oil painting to enable him to execute larger-scale works. In 1765, he became a director of the Society of Artists, with whom he had exhibited since 1760, and became an important figure in the London art world. He was instrumental in setting up the Royal Academy in 1768.
