Painting Description
The "Portrait of the singer Susannah Maria Cibber, 1741" is an exquisite artwork by the English painter Thomas Wollaston. This portrait captures the likeness of Susannah Maria Cibber, a renowned 18th-century English singer and actress, who was celebrated for her contributions to the world of opera and theater. Painted in 1741, the portrait is a testament to Wollaston's skill in capturing the essence and personality of his subjects, as well as a reflection of the artistic styles and cultural milieu of the period.
Susannah Maria Cibber, born Susannah Maria Arne in 1714, was the sister of the famous composer Thomas Arne. She made her mark in the theatrical world with her powerful and emotive performances, particularly in the works of George Frideric Handel, who composed several roles specifically for her. Her career was marked by both acclaim and controversy, including a highly publicized scandal involving her marriage to Theophilus Cibber, an actor and playwright.
Thomas Wollaston, the artist behind this portrait, was known for his ability to convey the subtleties of his subjects' characters through his brushwork. In this portrait, Wollaston has depicted Cibber with a serene yet expressive demeanor, capturing her poise and the depth of her artistic persona. The use of light and shadow, along with the detailed rendering of her attire, highlights the elegance and sophistication that Cibber was known for.
The portrait not only serves as a visual record of Susannah Maria Cibber's appearance but also as an artifact that offers insight into the cultural and artistic landscape of 18th-century England. It reflects the intersection of the performing arts and visual arts during a time when portraiture was a key medium for documenting and celebrating notable figures in society. This work remains an important piece in the study of both Thomas Wollaston's oeuvre and the legacy of Susannah Maria Cibber.
