EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and grace of Catherine Lucy, Duchess of Northumberland. Painted by the renowned artist Godfrey Kneller, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases Catherine in all her regal splendor. Catherine Lucy, formerly known as Catherine Wheatley, was a woman of great beauty and refinement. She married Captain Thomas Lucy of Charlecote before becoming widowed. In 1686, she entered into a prestigious union with George Fitzroy, the 1st Duke of Northumberland. Fitzroy was an illegitimate son of King Charles II and Barbara Villiers. In this painting, Catherine exudes confidence and poise as she gazes directly at the viewer. Her elaborate gown is adorned with intricate details that speak to her elevated status within society. The soft lighting creates a gentle glow around her face, emphasizing her delicate features and radiant complexion. This print allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and nuance captured by Kneller's skilled hand. It offers us a glimpse into the world of aristocracy during the 17th century while celebrating the timeless beauty and allure of its subject. As we admire this exquisite piece from Fine Art Finder's collection through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and sophistication that defined Catherine Lucy's life as Duchess of Northumberland
