EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil painting depicts Stewart Banks, an influential figure in English politics and society during the late 18th century. The portrait, dated circa 1760-1765, is attributed to the English artists Thomas Lowry and John Strickland. Stewart Banks, born in 1725, rose to prominence as a Member of Parliament and served in various high-ranking positions within the government. His political career began in 1754 when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Appleby in Westmorland. Over the next several decades, Banks held various positions, including Under-Secretary of State for the Southern Department and Vice-Treasurer of Ireland. The painting captures Banks in his prime, with an air of confidence and sophistication. He is depicted wearing a richly textured robe, adorned with intricate patterns, and a crisp white shirt. His posture is upright, and his gaze is steady, conveying a sense of authority and intelligence. The painting is a testament to the artistic talent of Thomas Lowry and John Strickland. Lowry, a renowned portrait painter, is known for his ability to capture the likeness and character of his subjects. Strickland, who often collaborated with Lowry, brought his skill in handling the oil medium and creating lifelike textures to the painting. The painting is an essential addition to any collection of English portraiture from the 18th century. It offers a glimpse into the world of politics and society during this period and provides valuable insights into the life of a prominent figure in English history. The painting's intricate details, vibrant colors, and masterful execution make it a true work of art that continues to captivate viewers to this day.
