Lady Hamilton as a Bacchante [Ask Us A Question] Title: Lady Hamilton as a Bacchante Artist: Elizabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun Description: In the second phase of her career in Europe Vigée Lebrun worked for twelve years in Italy, Austria, Germany and Russia, using her reputation as a portrait artist to the Versailles palace to attract wealthy clients. Vigée Lebrun lived in London between 1803 and 1805, at which time Lord Byron and the Prince of Wales were among her sitters, before moving back to Paris in 1805. Despite the fact that in the final phase of her artistic career her work lacked vigour and character she retained her contacts with Parisian artistic and literary circles. Lady Hamilton as a Bacchante dates from the artist’s career in Europe. Emma Hart, or in reality Amy Lyon, was born around 1761 at Ness on the Wirral. She was the daughter of a Cheshire blacksmith and a servant woman. Amy was brought up in the countryside of Flintshire, in Wales by her grandmother. In 1778 Emma moved to London where her beauty and perhaps larger than life character was attractive to rich and aristocratic men, the most famous of which was Charles Francis Greville, the son of the Earl of Warwick. Lord Nelson was her last lover and the father of her daughter. Emma became the model for established artists such as Reynolds, Hoppner and Lawrence but it was George Romney who admired her most and painted around forty portraits of her. In 1785 Greville, bored with Emma, sent her off to his widowed uncle Sir William Hamilton (1730-1803), the English Ambassador to Naples and a collector of antiquities and works of art. Emma thought of her journey as a short stay but she eventually accepted her new role as the official mistress of Sir William Hamilton and married him in 1791. Emma became a celebrity in Naples especially with her “attitudes?- theatrical poses of Greek mythological or other artistic and historical characters. In the portrait at the Lady Lever Art Gallery Vigée Lebrun recorded one of Emma Hamilton’s poses, the Bacchante, a name for the companion creatures of Dionysus or Bacchus, the god of wine and mystic ecstasy. In the background the volcano Vesuvius is a reference to Emma’s life and Vigée Lebrun’s stay in Naples. Emma’s talent for theatre was even recognised by writers such as Goethe. The poet and friend of Romney, Hayley wrote that: ‘her features, like the language of Shakespeare, could exhibit all the feelings of nature and all the gradation of every passion with a most fascinating truth and felicity of expression?
