Description: | This portrait was once thought to be by the well-known eighteenth-century portrait painter Pompeo Batoni. It is now generally accepted as the work of the Swiss artist Emmanuel Jakob Handmann, a successful portrait painter and pastellist based in Basel. The sitter has been identified as Ambassador Burnaby, for an identical portrait is in the Kunstmuseum in Bern. Burnaby was a minister to the Swiss cantons at Turin. The portrait was one in a series of the Burnaby family of Baggrave Hall, most of which were painted by English artists. | Subjects: | portrait (Ambassador Burnaby); interior | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Handmann, Emmanuel Jakob (Swiss painter, 1718-1781) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to studio of Batoni, Pompeo (Italian painter and draftsman, 1708-1787) Previously attributed to studio of Batoni, Pompeo (Italian painter and draftsman, 1708-1787) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8548... | Go to resource |
