EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print showcases the enchanting bond between Martha and Teresa Blount, two sisters who were close friends of the renowned poet Alexander Pope. Painted by Charles Jervas in the 18th century, this masterpiece measures 111x113.3 cm and is currently housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the UK. The Blount family, known for their devout Catholic beliefs and residing at Mapledurham House, shared a warm relationship with Pope. This painting beautifully captures their elegance as they stand side by side, adorned with laurel wreaths symbolizing victory and honor. The artist skillfully portrays these siblings in three-quarter length attire made of luxurious satin fabric that gently billows in the wind. Their windswept hair adds a touch of natural grace to their already mesmerizing presence. Martha and Teresa's expressions reflect both strength and tenderness as they gaze into the distance. The composition exudes an air of sophistication while highlighting their deep connection as sisters. Jervas masterfully captures not only their physical beauty but also hints at their inner qualities through his brushstrokes. This painting serves as a testament to enduring sibling love and friendship that transcends time. As you admire this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it transport you back to a bygone era where elegance met intellectuality - an exquisite portrayal of sisterly affection frozen forever on canvas.
