EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Sir Bouchier Wrey, the 6th Baronet, in all his grandeur and sophistication. Painted by George Knapton in 1744, this oil on canvas masterpiece now resides in a private collection. Sir Bouchier Wrey was not only a prominent member of the English nobility but also an esteemed politician serving as a Whig Member of Parliament. The painting showcases him standing proudly with a sailing ship in the background, symbolizing his connection to England's maritime heritage. Intriguingly, he is depicted holding a punch bowl inscribed with words from Horace's IV Odes: "Dulce est Desipere in Loco" which translates to "It is sweet at fitting time to act foolishly". This detail reveals Sir Bouchier's playful nature and sense of humor. The painting was commissioned by the Society of Dilettanti, an exclusive group of noblemen and scholars who sponsored the study of ancient Greek and Roman art after their Grand Tour. It reflects their appreciation for classical aesthetics and intellectual pursuits. With its exquisite attention to detail and vibrant colors, this portrait exemplifies Georgian-era artistry. It not only immortalizes Sir Bouchier Wrey but also celebrates the values cherished by the elite society he belonged to - viva la virtu (long live virtue), Grecian taste, and Roman spirit.
