La Clémence de S. M. l'Empereur et Roi 1810, huile sur toile Charles Pompée Le Boulanger de Boisfrémont (Rouen, 1773 - Paris, 1838) Musée de Picardie, Amiens
Mary "Moll" Davis (ca. 1648 - 1708) was a seventeenth-century entertainer and courtesan, singer and actress who became one of the many mistresses of King Charles II of England. Davis was born around 1648 in Westminster and was said by Samuel Pepys, the famous diarist, to be "a bastard of Collonell Howard, my Lord Barkeshire" - probably meaning Thomas Howard, third Earl of Berkshire.[1] During the early 1660s she was an actress in the 'Duke's Theatre Company' and boarded with the company's manager, Sir William Davenant.[2] She became a popular singer, dancer and comedian, but the wife of Pepys called her "the most impertinent slut in the world". Davis met King Charles II in a theatre or coffee-house in about 1667. She flaunted the wealth she acquired from her association with Charles, and gained a reputation for vulgarity and greed. She showed off her "mighty pretty fine coach" (Pepys:[4]) and a ring worth £600, in those days a vast sum. [5] Davis gave up the stage in 1668 and in 1669 had a daughter by Charles, Lady Mary Tudor, who became famous in her own right. Later, Charles dismissed Davis, possibly due to some chicanery by Nell Gwynne, a major rival for the King's affections. [5] Davis did not leave empty-handed however: Charles awarded her an annual pension for life of £1,000. In October 1673, Davis bought a new house in St James's Square from trustees for Edward Shaw, paying £1800.[6] 'Madam Davis' first appears in the ratebook for the year 1675 and last appears in 1687.[6] This house (which was surveyed by John Soane in 1799) was almost square and had three storeys, each with four evenly-spaced windows, all dressed with a wide architrave and cornice.[6] The staircase hall was south of a large room in front, and two smaller rooms and a secondary staircase at the rear. There was a massive cross-wall, containing the fireplaces of the back rooms.[6] It would now have been Number 22, St James's Square, if it had survived.[6] It was demolished in 1847 to make way for a new club house for the Army and Navy Club, having survived longer than any other of the other original houses in the square. In December 1686, Davis married the French musician and composer James Paisible (c. 1656-1721), a member of James II's private musick. Sir George Etherege wrote scornfully of the marriage: "Mrs Davies has given proof of the great passion she always had for music, and Monsieur Peasible has another bass to thrum than that he played so well upon".[7] The Paisibles joined James's court in exile at St Germain-en-Laye, but in 1693 returned to England, where Paisible became composer to Prince George of Denmark, the husband of Princess Anne, heir to the throne.

Henry V , also called Henry of Monmouth, was King of England and Lord of Ireland from 1413 until his death in 1422. Despite his relatively short reign, Henry's outstanding military successes in the Hundred Years' War against France made England one of the strongest military powers in Europe.[1] Immortalised in Shakespeare's "Henriad" plays, Henry is known and celebrated as one of the greatest warrior-kings of medieval England.

Several years ago I heard a conference paper on the signs of disease and illness in famous C17th portraits. Art historians in the audience knew that the painters generally attempted to show their sitters in the best light possible, presumably because the artists hoped to have more royal or noble commissions in the future. But the medicos in the audience were certain that in some cases, the signs of disease were so pronounced that leaving out the changes in facial features, bone structure and skin colour was not possible. Luca Giordano, King Charles II of Spain, c1685 Nowhere in art can the casual viewer see medical crises better than in the portrait of King Charles II of Spain c1685, painted by the court artist from 1692-1702, Luca Giordano. The Spanish Habsburg dynasty in fact ended with this sickly product of generations of intermarriage between cousins; he was physically unable to produce a son. But the young king also suffered from a range of other physical, mental and emotional disabilities. Mandibular prognathism/Habsburg jaw was so pronounced in King Charles II that he was actually incapable of chewing. It does not take a medical clinician to note the very unusual relationship of the soft tissue portion of the King' chin to his nose. ** Painted in c1654, Rembrandt's housekeeper/de facto wife Hendrickje Stoffels was the model for the biblical character, Bathsheba at her Bath. Rembrandt may have painted his lover with such a sad face for any number of reasons, including: his troubles with the Church, his impending bankruptcy and her pregnancy outside of marriage. But Peter Allen Braithwaite suggested something else. Asymmetrical depiction and clear skin discolouration in the left breast was not an artefact of the portrait’s light and shadow. If Rembrandt painted the features that he actually saw, then perhaps there were already clinical signs of breast cancer. In fact Hendrickje lived for 8+ years after the painting of Bathsheba but she deteriorated throughout this period, particularly towards the end when her general ill health became apparent in other paintings. Historians recorded that she was probably consumptive, dying of tuberculosis in 1663. Is it more reasonable to suggest, from the art, that she died of disseminated breast cancer? Rembrandt, Bathsheba at Her Bath, 1654, 142 x 142 cm, Louvre Recently a very interesting analysis of Nicolas de Largilliere’s Portrait of an Officer appeared in the MJA. Examine the swollen knuckles in both hands, inflamed and reddish. Largilliere was considered to have had a genius for depicting hands, so the all-important accuracy in his art was always found in his paintings. The authors Weisz and Albury concluded that a possible diagnosis in the context of swollen but undeformed fingers could have been rheumatic fever or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Does disease, intentionally or unintentionally displayed in 17th century paintings, matter? Yes it does. Firstly art historians decode everything in paintings, including clothes, furniture, books, flowers and architecture. So we should be careful about the body as well. Secondly the portraits' models had the full range of illnesses that everyone in the community had in the 17th century, albeit less readily diagnosable than now and not treatable at all. Recognising that the artist wanted to flatter the sitter and would have toned down the sitter’s worst features, we can assume for example that King Charles II’s jaw was probably far bigger and uglier than Luca Giordano dared show. Nonetheless the portraits are a gold mine of medical information, if the viewer analyses the images carefully. Especially if the biography of the sitter is well known. Nicolas de Largilliere, Portrait of an Officer c1714, Art Gallery NSW ** Even in the 19th century, the biography of a person may have been very well known but his/her medical records were hidden or inadequate. Carson and Wakely described as best they could the health problems suffered by arguably the most famous woman in the world, Florence Nightingale - spinal pain, brucellosis, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome and particularly manic depression. If my hypothesis is correct, art historians should now go back and re-examine the portraits of this very famous woman.

. one of the most beautiful portraits of a child wearing coral is perhaps this- son of Rubens, Nicholas Rubens, 1619 Peter Paul Rubens after the post on a little bit of Coral. I found this- in my mailbox- from- Toby Worthington. I always enjoy hearing from Toby Worthington, through comment-but even better- an email. We email chatted and Mr. Worthington said I could share this beautiful Regency children's portrait-with two of the children wearing coral beads-no less. The painting is Mr. Worthington's, of course, and happens to have belonged to the one and only decorator Rose Cumming. I -of course loved the painting, the provenance, the current owner- and the dog- we both agreed- He is perfection. & this- from Toby's 1980's incarnation of the Rose Cumming painting. The walls are covered in a linen damask- reminiscent of several Rose Cumming fabrics- I might add. Though we did not discuss this photograph in detail-the chintz looks very much like Rose Cumming too- if not, close. For his part- TW noted the Dorothy Draper retour d'Egypte chair as a particular favorite in the day. Toby Worthington on the painting: "The same painting hung in the blue music room at Rose Cumming's last apartment in New York. The Regency Painting~wrongly attributed to Raeburn by Rose and Co.~is plainly that of a young lord with his siblings. There's a Palladian pile in the distance. Apart from that, we haven't a clue who painted it, nor where it originally hung, though it would appear to have been done around 1810 or later. Seeing it in that vast drawing room of Mrs. Petrasch, in Adam Lewis's recent book, The Great Lady Decorators, indicated that Rose initially acquired the picture for her client, then afterward it became her own. " Rose's Blue Music Room the Petrasch Living Room he added, "Probably not terribly interesting in an of itself, but fascinating to one who has lived with the picture for 30 odd years." Well, TW-You know I am-I find if fascinating indeed! I am along with any reader that visits Little Augury. Now that coral has new meaning- take note, when next you see one of these. a portrait by Paul Moreelse Portrait of Charles II, Prince of Wales Justus van Egmont & in the Egmont painting a coral teething, strung on coral beads (one is shown below) A George IV silver-gilt coral and bells, Charles Rawlings, London, circa 1820. six bells hung from serpent heads, with a central band of roses, thistles and other flowers with whistle top and coral teether.(photo Sotheby's catalog from the Property of Mrs Charles Wrightsman : The London Residence.)
