JOHN OPIE (BRITISH 1761-1807) PORTRAIT OF JUDGE GEORGE LEWIS NEWNHAMOil on canvas laid to board126 x 101.5cm (49½ x 39¾ in.)In a Maratta frameLiterature:(G. Nares, 'Adlington Hall, Cheshire - III: The home of Mrs. Legh', Country Life, 12 December 1952, p. 1962 and fig. 4 'The Dining-Room, beneath the Drawing-Room). George Lewis Newnham (c. 1733-1800) was an English lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1774 to 1780.Newnham was the eldest son of Nathaniel Newnham, a London merchant and MP, and his wife Sarah Adams. He was educated at Eton College from 1745 to 1748 and was admitted to Lincoln's Inn on 20 November 1749 and Clare College, Cambridge on 10 April 1751. He was called to the bar on 3 February 1757. Newnham's father recommended his son to the Duke of Newcastle for a seat in Parliament in 1761, but the Duke appeared to exclude him from opportunities at Lewes. In 1768 Newnham stood at Nottingham but withdrew before the poll. He became a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn and King's Counsel in 1772. At the 1774 general election, he was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Arundel on the interest of Sir John Shelley. In Parliament he voted with the opposition, but does not appear to havespoken. He did not stand in the 1780 general election. Newnham married Mary Ashton of Lincoln's Inn Fields on 7 October 1778. He succeeded to his mother's Newtimber estate on her death in 1788. He died on 2 August 1800. He and his wife Mary had one son and a daughter, Louisa, who married Sir Thomas Legh in 1812.

JOHN OPIE (1761-1807), ATTRIBUE - Portrait de la comédienne Elisabeth Searle Portrait de la comédienne Elisabeth Searle Importante huile sur toile. Sans encadrement. Provenance: The Marquis of Londonderry Dimensions : 230 x 148 cm Réputée pour sa beauté et son élégance, la célèbre comédienne et danseuse Elizabeth Searle naît vers 1789 et elle épouse Robert Heathcote à Londres en 1809. Ils ont quatre enfants mais elle meurt précocement à Southampton en 1816. Un autre portrait de la comédienne est peint par John Opie vers 1807. En buste, elle y figure dans le rôle de Miranda de la pièce La Tempête de William Shakespeare (Tabley House, Université de Manchester). Peintre britannique né à Trevellas dans les Cornouailles, il peint les portraits d'homme et de femme célèbres de son temps dont les membre de la Famille Royale. Très jeune, il montre un talent précoce à la fois pour le dessin et les mathématiques. Son père ne l'encourage pas mais ses dons artistiques attirent l'attention du médecin local, John Wolcot, qui devient sont Mentor. Il lui procure logement, encouragements, conseils et des cours, une aide inestimable qui finit rapidement par lui procurer de nombreuses commandes. Après avoir acquis une expérience considérable en tant que portraitiste, Opie s'installe à Londres avec Wolcot qui réussit avant leur séparation à le faire introduire à la Cour du Roi George qui lui achète un de ses tableaux et lui commande un portrait de Mary Delany. Il reçoit ensuite les commandes des portraits du Prince William Frederick, Duc de Gloucester et d'Edimbourg. Il peindra ensuite les portraits de Lady Salisbury, de Lady Charlotte Talbot, de Lady Harcourt et tant d'autres encore. En 1786, il expose son premier sujet historique important, l'Assassinat de Jacques 1er et l'année suivante, le Meurtre de Rizzio, œuvre dont le mérite est reconnu par son élection immédiate comme associé de la Royal Academy dont il deviendra membre à part entière en 1788.
