EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print showcases a significant moment in British history, featuring Prince George and Prince Edward Augustus, the sons of Frederick, Prince of Wales. Painted by Richard Wilson around 1748-49, this portrait captures the two young princes alongside their tutor Dr Francis Ayscough. In this intimate scene, we witness the future King George III and his brother engaged in a lesson with their dedicated teacher. The room is adorned with educational tools such as globes and books, emphasizing the importance of knowledge and learning within royal education. Prince George would go on to become one of England's most renowned monarchs while his brother Edward Augustus tragically passed away at a young age. This painting not only immortalizes these influential figures but also offers a glimpse into their formative years as they prepare for their future roles as rulers. The composition exudes an air of elegance and sophistication befitting royalty. The boys are depicted in regal attire, showcasing their status from an early age. Their youthful innocence is juxtaposed against the seriousness of their studies under Dr Francis Ayscough's watchful eye. Preserved within Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this artwork serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic mastery. It allows us to delve into the world of Georgian Britain while appreciating its rich cultural heritage through portraiture.
