William V of Orange and Frederika of Prussia - oil on canvas
Est: £15,000 - £25,000
Benjamin Samuel Bolomey (Swiss, 1739-1819) Portrait of William V of Orange (1748-1806); and Portrait of Frederika Sophia Wilhelmina of Prussia, Princess of Orange (1751-1820), his wife oil on canvas (a pair) h:118 w: 90 cm Provenance: Brigadier General Ballard, of Hadham Mill, Much Hadham, Hertfordshire, by the late 19th Century, and by descent in a Hertfordshire country house Literature: Benjamin Samuel Bolomey, 1739-1819: un peintre suisse a la Cour du Prince Guillaume V d'Orange, ed. Laurent Golay et al (Zwolle, 2001) in which there are several portraits of William V, generally showing him wearing the Garter (which he was awarded at the age of 4 !!) and one or two of Princess Wilhemina. Most are dated between 1769 and 1774. Other Notes: These exquisitely beautiful and rare portraits of William V of Orange and his consort have been in an English country house for the past 100 years. They are datable to c.1770 on the basis of similarities in composition and dress to a pair of full length paintings of the same sitters in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. William V is wearing the Garter Star and Little George and Princess Wilhelmina is wearing the Order of St Anna, a Russian Order. Bolomey was a painter, illustrator and engraver, born in Lausanne on May 19th 1739. He studied in Paris from 1748 at the Académie Royale de peinture under the guidance of Joseph Marie Vien. He was also influenced by François Boucher (1703-1770) and Maurice-Quentin de la Tour (1704-1788). Boucher's delicate rococo sensuality and de la Tour's sensitive attention to both physiognomy and character are amply reflected in Bolomey's own portrait works. Bolomey worked in The Hague from 1762-91 where he became official portraitist to William V, whom he painted more than twenty times; he was also director of the Academy Pictura. From there, he went to Paris before returning to Lausanne in 1792, where he died in 1819. One of his pupils in the Netherlands was Jean-Georges Teissier (1750-1821). William V (1748-1806) also known as Willem V of Orange was the last Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic and he presided over the republic's terminal decline. He assumed the position of Stadtholder (chief executive and military commander) in 1766 after a long regency first by his mother and then by the Duke of Brunswick following the death of his father Wilhelm IV in 1751 when he was only three years old. In 1767 William married Princess Frederika Sophia Wilhelmina of Prussia (1751-1820), a niece of Frederick the Great and sister of the later King Frederick William II, henceforth known as Wilhelmina of Prussia, Princess of Orange. His court became a significant musical centre and he was also one of the most important art collectors of his age. His political career was less fortunate. Dutch support for the cause of the American colonies was driven by hopes of a profitable Atlantic trade but led in fact to war with England in 1780. The ignominious defeat of the Dutch in 1784 prompted the development of domestic opposition and in 1787 a group of young Patriots challenged William's rule. In response to demands for William's abdication, his wife called on her brother to send Prussian troops who suppressed the Patriots. Princess Frederika was feted as the saviour and true ruler of the Dutch Republic but in 1795 the Patriots returned in the wake of the invading French revolutionary army. William and Frederika fled into exile in England. After 1795 William and his consort lived variously at Hampton Court (until November 1801), Nassau, Brunswick or Oranienburg. William died at Brunswick in 1806, the same year that the Dutch Republic was transformed into a monarchy under King Louis Napoleon. Princess Wilhelmina remained in Germany but lived to see her son crowned King William I of the Netherlands in 1813. In 1814 she settled in the Netherlands again and died at Het Loo in 1820.
