“The Apollo of the Palace”: Gainsborough, Fashion, and the Royal Family

Education In this lecture, Anna Reynolds, Surveyor of The King’s Pictures, Royal Collection Trust, will explore the role of clothing in Gainsborough’s royal portraits, offering a holistic view of his career that considers both the key artistic influences shaping his depictions of dress and the impact of his work on later artists. Close comparison with surviving eighteenth‑century garments will illuminate how Gainsborough translated three‑dimensional fashions into compelling two‑dimensional images. A detailed examination of the paintings themselves will shed light on the unconventional working methods that enabled him to create “beautiful things from unlikely subjects.” Speaker bio: Anna Reynolds is Surveyor of The King’s Pictures at Royal Collection Trust, where she oversees the curatorial, conservation, and art‑handling departments responsible for oil paintings, watercolors, prints, drawings, and photographs.

Education Thomas Gainsborough described the transformative role of clothing in art as “the amazing Effect of dress.” Held in conjunction with the exhibitions Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture and Ruffles & Ribbons: Fashion Plates from the Time of Marie Antoinette, this symposium explores the interwoven relationship between fashion and art in European paintings and prints from the fifteenth through eighteenth centuries.

Les Talens Lyriques, Ensemble, led by Christophe Rousset; Key-Mon Murrah, Countertenor

Concerts Closing the season is the Frick debut of French ensemble Les Talens Lyriques, led by harpsichordist and conductor Christophe Rousset. In a program titled Handel Serio, countertenor Key’mon Murrah joins the ensemble for a richly expressive exploration of Handel’s operatic and oratorio writing. Drawing from lesser-heard arias in Rodrigo, Alcina, Arianna in Creta, and Alexander Balus, as well as selections from Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno, Esther, and Deborah, the program captures the emotional range and dramatic intensity of Handel’s vocal works. Two instrumental works—Corelli’s Concerto Grosso in D Major, Op. 6, No. 4, and Handel’s Concerto Grosso in B-fl Major, Op. 3, No. 2—anchor the program in the Italianate brilliance that shaped Handel’s early style.
