Jan van Belcamp 1646

The Great Picture

This is a snippet from a triptych (3 paintings put next to each other that tell a story together) about the life of Lady Anne Clifford who, at the death of her father when she was 15, began decades of battle for her father's title of baron. The king and her husband suggested she yield to her uncle's offer of a payout to allow him the title uncontested. She ignored them and eventually regained the title. She also overruled her husband in insisting their second daughter be allowed to marry who she wanted.

the great picture, attributed to jan van belcamp, 1646

This monumental painting presents the family history and accomplishments of Lady Anne Clifford using a combination of portraiture, text and symbolism.

The left side panel of the triptych depicts Lady Anne Clifford at the age of fifteen, when she was disinherited. Portraits of Lady Anne’s governess, Mrs. Anne Taylor, and her tutor, the poet Samuel Daniel, are placed above the shelves of books, which include titles by Ovid, Chaucer, and Cervantes’ Don Quixote. These elements of the composition highlight Lady Anne’s education and refined upbringing.

The right side panel shows Lady Anne in late middle age, when she finally regained the Clifford estates. Portraits of Lady Anne’s two husbands hang behind her: Richard Sackville, third Earl of Dorset, who died in 1624, and Philip Herbert, fourth Earl of Pembroke and first Earl of Montgomery, who died in 1650. The depiction of Lady Anne at fifty-six was used as the model for many subsequent portraits and is probably the only likeness in The Great Picture to have been painted from life.

The central panel depicts Lady Anne’s parents, Margaret Russell and George Clifford, third Earl of Cumberland, with her older brothers who did not survive to adulthood: Francis (1584-1589) and Robert (1585-1591). On the walls behind the family group hang portraits of Lady Anne’s four aunts. As Lady Anne was not born until 1590, she does not appear in the central panel as such, but Lady Margaret’s gesture hints that the daughter who would ultimately become the Clifford heir had already been conceived at the time of the original painting.
