2 unusual facts about Gawen Hamilton


Gawen Hamilton

Horace Walpole, who used Vertue's notes, makes no mention of Gawen Hamilton in his Anecdotes of Painting in England.

The little that is known of Hamilton is derived mostly from the notebooks of George Vertue, who knew him well and was a fellow member, both of the convivial group that met at the Rose and Crown as well as the Club of Artists depicted by Hamilton in 1735, that met at the King's Arms in New Bond Street and commissioned the portrait by subscription, to aid Hamilton.
