EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures George Temple, Marquess of Buckingham (1722-1813), a prominent statesman and viceroy of Ireland, and his wife, Lady Anne Nugent, the Comeleys of Cahir, in formal attire of the early 18th century. The Marquess, dressed in a richly embroidered red velvet coat and a white lace jabot, exudes an air of authority and refinement. His wife, the Vicereine, is depicted in an elegant blue gown with a matching shawl, her golden curls cascading down her shoulders. The couple's strong connection is evident in their gazes, which are locked onto each other, suggesting a deep bond and companionship. George Temple, Marquess of Buckingham, was a prominent figure in British politics, serving as a Member of Parliament and holding various high-ranking positions, including Postmaster General and Lord Privy Seal. In 1761, he was appointed Viceroy of Ireland, a role he held until 1765. During his tenure, he worked to improve the administration of justice, reform the Irish legal system, and promote economic development. Lady Anne Nugent, the Comeleys of Cahir, was the daughter of the 2nd Earl of Westmeath and the granddaughter of the 1st Earl of Cork. She was known for her beauty, intelligence, and charm, and her marriage to the Marquess of Buckingham was a politically advantageous union. The couple had four children together, including the future 2nd Marquess of Buckingham. This portrait, which dates from the period between 1753 and 1813, is a testament to the power and influence of the Marquess and Vicereine of Buckingham during their time in Ireland. The intricately detailed clothing, the couple's strong connection, and the elegant setting all contribute to a sense of grandeur and opulence, making this a truly captivating image from Irish history.
