 Circle Of Alexis Simon Belle (1688-1766) - Oil James stuart  stuart royal %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
An oil on canvas purportedly depicting Prince James Francis Edward Stuart, by the circle of Alexis-Simon Belle (1688-1766) after the similar portrait within the Royal Collection given to King George V by Queen Mary. Alexis-Simon Belle was a favourite of the Stuarts in Paris.

Prince James Francis Edward Stuart (1688-1766) was the only son of the Catholic King James II of England. In 1688, the Protestant-led 'Glorious Revolution' dethroned the king and replaced him with his Protestant daughter, Mary (1662-1694), and her husband William of Orange (1650-1702). Prince James and his father and mother went into exile at the Château Saint-Germain-en-Laye, under the protection of Louis XIV. Later known as the 'Old Pretender', James participated in several unsuccessful plots to reclaim the English throne. In 1712, he left France to establish a court in Rome, where he married Maria Clementina Sobieska (1702-1735). He had two sons: Charles (1720-1788) and Henry (1725-1807), but was never to see a Stuart restoration the male line died with Henry Stuart in 1807.

The canvas of this work has been lined and the tension is good. The paint layers have a network of age cracks which have been stabilised and flattened through lining there are old pin prick losses at the junctions of the cracks and areas of retouching across the surface. The varnish is clear and although a little matte with a layer of surface dirt present.

The work is housed in a later gilt frame which shows some light wear commensurate with age to the extremities but remains in a good condition overall.

A well executed and striking work.
