EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the elegance and grandeur of the 2nd Earl of Burlington, 1st Duke of Kingston, and Lord Berkley of Stratton, as depicted in the painting attributed to the renowned Baroque artist Michael Dahl. The portrait, titled "CHISWICK HOUSE," is a testament to the subject's noble lineage and high social standing during the late 17th century in England. The Earl, dressed in the finest attire of the time, exudes an air of confidence and sophistication. His piercing gaze and well-groomed appearance reflect the refinement and elegance of the aristocracy. The intricate details of his clothing, from the velvet coat and lace cuffs to the ornate buckle on his shoe, showcase the wealth and status of the sitter. The backdrop of the painting is the beautiful Chiswick House, which the Earl helped to design and build. The house, a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture, is reflected in the mirror-like surface of the still water in the foreground, adding an element of grandeur and opulence to the portrait. Michael Dahl, a Danish painter who spent most of his career in England, was known for his portraits of the English nobility. His skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, is evident in this exquisite painting. The portrait is now in the care of Historic England and is a valuable addition to the national collection, providing a glimpse into the opulent world of the English aristocracy during the late 17th century.
