    John Hoppner (1758 - 1810) British Portrait of Rt. Hon. William Pitt Acc. No. 1582
    Oil on canvas
    The label reads, "This elegant portrait is one of several versions painted by Hoppner of William Pitt the Younger, Britain's youngest-ever Prime Minister. The original is considered to be that commissioned by Lord Mulgrave in 1804 and which is now at Cowdray Park. The original portrait was still in the artist studio tow years later when Pitt died and applications for copies were immediately submitted by Pitt's friends and colleagues. Pitt's youth is apparently belied by his grey hair in this portrait. It was fashion in those days for men to powder their hair, and the colour seen in this portrait was obviously not natural."




Room 1

Landscape Exhibition
From November 2014

4 landscape Paintings are currently on display in Room 1




Future exhibitions for 2015:

Bertram House is a house museum which displays Cape Engilsh interiors.


Bertrum House

The house museum interiors could be augmented with Bailey works and maintain the English interior. It is planned to use both the upstairs and downstairs.


An interior scene at Bertrum House

This is an exciting option for a wider audience to view the works. Educations programs can extend from the National Gallery up to Bertrum House, which Iziko Education at the National Gallery is looking forward to.
