* Hudson (Thomas, 1701-1779). Portrait of a Gentleman, possibly a Self Portrait, half length oil on canvas portrait, wearing a brown coat and holding a snuff box, 73 x 61cm (29 x 24in), framed. Thomas Hudson (bap. 1701-1779), portrait painter and art collector was born in Devon. He was taught by the London artist Jonathan Richardson and married his daughter Mary. Until Richardson`s retirement in 1740 Hudson painted portraits primarily in the west country, including Devon and Bath. On Richardson`s retirement Hudson gained a number of his master`s clients and became more prominent in London. During his career Hudson painted at least 400 portraits, about eighty of which were engraved. Sitters included members of the aristocracy, landed gentry, political leaders, Anglican clergy, and popular figures in music and the theatre and he was particularly active in the 1740s and 1750s. Among his best-known portraits are Charles Spencer, Third Duke of Marlborough, and his family (c.1755; Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire), and two portraits of George Frederic Handel (Staats- und Universitotsbibliothek, Hamburg; and NPG).Hudson`s success attracted apprentices, among them Joshua Reynolds, Joseph Wright of Derby, and John Hamilton Mortimer. After the mid-1750s, Reynolds began to receive commissions from Hudson`s patrons and a rivalry developed. Although Hudson exhibited with the Society of Artists in 1761 and 1766 he was receiving fewer commissions by this time, and he retired to his villa in Twickenham. (1)
