M INTRODUCTION IT is iiitendea by the oxUibitioii oUlie Pictinv noH- brtbio the Public, to represent the interior of the- House of Lords, us it appeared at a period when it pro- bably contained a greater number of the ilhistrious personages who are members of that House, tlian can liave been seen hi it on any other occasion, the subiect of the Picture having been of the most serious and deli. ate eousequence to tlie welfare of the Nation, as it ;aN no les. than an examination and investigation, by ,he Peers of this Realm, to enable them to dedilo whether or not, there were sufficient grounds for passing a Hill of Pains and Penalties, against the Queen Consort of their Sovereign. w i^/ IV INTROmc TION. To ivprcsiMit a subject of so tlivorse aiul ditlicult a nature, as the one here to be treated, would iietessarily demand tiie utmost exertion of anv Artist who \v(ndtl venture to ex])ose liis work to liis eoteniporaries, or hope that posterity should sec it; yet it may be noticed thai it possessetl more disadvantages for a Painter than most other sui))eets. Among the greatest dillieulties here to be contended with, were tlie necessity of adhering strictly to the form of a building, in most respects calculated to destroy the etlect a painter is desirous o[' obtaining on the groups with which hi* has to compose his picture ; the Benches on which the Peers are seated in the Cialleries, and on either side of the House under them, making ten parallel lines retiring from the eye, betwci-n which are live cross benches, forming right angles in the ciMitre of the Picture : the table at which the Right Honourable the Lord Chancellor, supreme Judge of the Imperial Parlia- ment, sits, is sunk into a sort of well, in the floor, and the woolsacks are so placed, that their Lordshi|)s, ihe learned Judges, sitting on them, were scarcely to be seen; it is true that the formation of tlie Galleries may have answered perfectly the purpose intended, but sixteen brass rods, supporting two naked cornices, surmounted by a fence, constructed to render them secure for those Pe«'rs INTRODUCTION. V who c'lioso this more uiry part oftlii' House, maybe easily imagined to have offered unfavorable inareriais, ujk)!! whieh the Artist was obliged to eompose his Picture, instead of si)leiidid architecture, and draperies so arrani^e«i. as might have induced any man to pauit it : there were six tlifferent lights also to contend with, entering from six opposing windows, which rendered it almost impos- sible for a painter who did not, by partial or political feeling, determine to sacrifice one or the other side of his picture to shadow, to produce any strong effect in chiar oscuro. To show therefore, tairly and distinctly, the portraits of so many Noblemen as it was necessary to introduce, imder the transition of light from right to left, was a dilfu'ulty scarcely to be overcome. The monotony of colour imposed by the furniture of the House, with tlie blue and black of modern costmne, Avould have apolo- gized for any want of s|)lendour in the treatment of so grand an historical subject ; nor were the gowns and grey wigs of the learned Gentlemen of the Bar, the richest combination (m point of colour) to be desired for the foreground of a picture where great depth was an essential cpudity. But the painter humbly hopes that his arduous endca- VJ INTRODICTION, vours to benefit by die griK-ious condescc'ii'^icii nf those I'riiuos of the Koyal Family, who have lumoitd iiinii l)y sirtirii;; tlie innumerable kinihiesses daily reteived from the N'obili^' and Genti7 introdneed in the pieture, and partieularly from the Honourable George Ai,'ar Ellis, l)y whom lu* was employed to paint it — and whose zeal<Mis anxiety for its advaneement and sueees^, enabled him to overcome the almost insurmountable dillieulties of obtain- ing the favor of sittings, from so many p<^rsons of the highest rank, will render it a worthy objeet (^f curiosity and public interest. The picture contains upwards of thiee hundred tigures ; the total number of persons of the lirst consideration in this country, who have done Mi*. George Hayt*M- the honor to sit for their portraits in it, is no less than one hundred and sixty one ; and there are introduced from various engravings of ackno\vledged veracity, the por- traits of twenty eight gentlemen, whose situations in the composition made it mniecessary to trouble them to sit ; which amount, altogedier, to one hundred and eighty nine portraits ; which are believed to be more than have been introduced into any picture nf acknow- ledged celebrity. ITietime chosen, is the twenty third of August, 1820, INTUODlJtTIOS, VU tlio MSth day ol' tlio triul ; wliou Tlu'od(jiv Majottlii was oxuMiim-iI by tlic Poers : — this (lay was {Hvft'rn'd. as one when the lioiiourablr uiul learned gentleuicn of t lie Bar had, ii })o?>!sible, a little less orcupation thaii during the examination, or cross examination of a witness; whicli enabled the jiainter to show, with more propriety, the faces of some gentlemeiij whose backs would otherwise have been turned towards the spectator. It appears in the Journals of the day, that the persons most exertine themselves, previously to the Queen's leaving her Chair in the House, at half past twelve o'clock, were, the Right Honourable the Lord Chan- cellor, Lord Amherst, Lord Fahnouthj Lord Ellenl>o- routih, and the Earl Grey, who is checking the prolixity of the interpreter, the Marchese Spinetti, desirous to proceed with the examiaatioa o( the witness.
