Buckingham En Famille: A Portrait of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham and His Family (1592-1628) This evocative portrait, titled "Buckingham En Famille," captures the likenesses of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, his wife, Katherine Manners, and their five children. The painting, created between the years 1592 and 1628, offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of this influential statesman and royal favorite during the early modern English period. George Villiers, born in 1592, rose to prominence in the court of King James I. His charisma, intelligence, and striking appearance quickly endeared him to the monarch, leading to a close friendship and a series of powerful positions within the government. Buckingham's influence extended beyond the political sphere, as he was also a patron of the arts and a prominent figure in London society. The presence of his wife, Katherine Manners, and their children in this portrait underscores the dual nature of Buckingham's life. While he was a powerful figure at court, he was also a devoted husband and father. Katherine, the eldest daughter of the 6th Earl of Rutland, was an accomplished woman in her own right, known for her beauty and intelligence. Their five children, including the future 2nd Duke of Buckingham, are depicted as young, innocent, and full of promise. The painting's intricate details, from the rich fabrics and ornate furnishings to the expressive faces of the sitters, offer a glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the English court during this period. The portrait serves as a testament to the complex and multifaceted life of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, a man who was both a statesman and a family man.
