ROSALBA CARRIERA. Gustavus Hamilton (1710-1746), Second Viscount Boyne, in Masquerade Costume

Gustavus Hamilton (1710-1746), Second Viscount Boyne, in Masquerade Costume. Artist: Rosalba Carriera (Italian, Venice 1673-1757 Venice). Dimensions: 22 1/4 x 16 7/8 in. (56.5 x 42.9 cm). Date: 1730-31.
Gustavus Hamilton (1710-1746), who was Irish, succeeded in 1723 as Viscount Boyne. He and Edward Walpole, the second son of the powerful Whig prime minister Sir Robert Walpole, were in Venice from January to March 1730, enjoying the pleasures of the Carnival season, and Boyne was there again the following winter. There are three versions of the present portrait: the second (private collection) shows the sitter in an identical costume; in the third (Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham, England) he wears a brown brocaded coat. The hat, veil, and mask, worn outdoors with a black coat, is known to Venetians as the <i>bautta</i> and offered its wearer the advantage of anonymity.

Traduction automatique: Gustavus Hamilton (1710-1746), deuxième vicomte Boyne, en costume de mascarade. Artiste : Rosalba Carriera (Italien, Venise 1673-1757 Venise). Dimensions : 22 1/4 x 16 7/8 in. (56,5 x 42,9 cm). Date : 1730-31. Gustavus Hamilton (1710-1746), qui était irlandais, lui succéda en 1723 en tant que vicomte Boyne. Lui et Edward Walpole, le deuxième fils du puissant premier ministre whig Sir Robert Walpole, étaient à Venise de janvier à mars 1730, profitant des plaisirs de la saison du carnaval, et Boyne y était de nouveau l'hiver suivant. Il existe trois versions du présent portrait : la seconde (collection privée) montre le modèle dans un costume identique ; dans le troisième (Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Université de Birmingham, Angleterre), il porte un manteau de brocart marron. Le chapeau, le voile et le masque, portés à l'extérieur avec un manteau noir, sont connus des Vénitiens sous le nom de bautta et offraient à son porteur l'avantage de l'anonymat.
