Painting Description
George James Agar-Ellis, 1st Baron Dover, was a British politician and man of letters. Born January 14, 1797, Agar-Ellis led a distinguished political career culminating in his elevation to the peerage as Baron Dover in 1831. Beyond politics, he was also known for his and artistic interests.
Agar-Ellis was of notable heritage, the son of Henry Welbore Agar-Ellis, 2nd Viscount Clifden, and Lady Caroline Spencer, daughter of George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough. He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he developed his lifelong passion for literature and the arts.
In his political career, Agar-Ellis served as a Member of Parliament for Seaford, Ludgershall, and Okehampton. His political acumen led to his appointment as Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in 1822, and later, he assumed the role of First Commissioner of Woods and Forests in 1828.
His contribution to the world of arts and literature is equally significant. He was one of the primary figures involved in founding the National Gallery, London, and took significant interest in preserving historic structures.
A notable portrayal of the 1st Baron Dover exists as an engraving by E. Scriven (1775-1841). Scriven was one of England's foremost line engravers in the early 19th century and his work contributes greatly to the National Portrait Gallery. The particular piece featuring George James Agar-Ellis was drawn from Volume II of the National Portrait Gallery, published circa 1835. The original portrait was painted by Thomas Phillips, a notable English portrait and subject painter.
George James Agar-Ellis, 1st Baron Dover, passed away on July 10, 1833. He is remembered as a significant figure in British political history and a discerning patron of the arts.
