Description: | Jean-Laurent Mosnier enjoyed a successful career in his native France. In 1776 he was appointed Peintre de la Reine to Marie-Antoinette and in 1788 he became a full member of the Académie Royale. In 1790 he fled the Revolution for London where he exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1790 to 1796. From the sitter's appearance and attire, the portrait can be dated to the early 1790s when Mosnier was working in London, and so it is possible that the young gentleman portrayed here was English. Although the gentleman was traditionally called 'Lord Nugent', his identity remains mysterious. | Subjects: | portrait (Lord Nugent man) gentleman | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mosnier, Jean Laurent (French painter, 1743-1808) Æ Previously attributed to Hoppner, John (British painter, 1758-1810) Previously attributed to Masquerier, John James (British painter, 1778-1855) Previously attributed to Mosnier, Jean Laurent (French painter, 1743-1808) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8660... | Go to resource |
