The Wedding of Stephen Beckingham and Mary Cox

Artist: William Hogarth (British, 1697–1764)

Date: 1729

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

This depiction of a wedding is one of the artist’s first attempts in the fashionable genre of the conversation piece, a type of group portrait. Beckingham, a London lawyer, and his bride are flanked by members of their families. The setting is based on St. Martin-in-the-Fields, a church in Trafalgar Square, not the actual venue where the wedding took place. The solemn event depicted here gave Hogarth less opportunity for satirical humor than the “modern moral subjects” that made him famous.

Feeling sorry for my second favorite countertenor today.

I don’t know the user, but she is a vocalist. I think maybe a hacker got in and posted this explicit, spammy flotsam on Michael Chance’s FB page. I reported both posts.

Moving on from all that, here’s him singing an excerpt from Handel’s Messiah:

Academy of St. Martin In the Fields with Joshua Bell, Musical Director and Violinist

If you have never seen someone simultaneously conduct and solo, it is crazy. I was so desperately trying to capture his arm as he conducted but he left before I could finish. Imagine my joy when he returned to the stage. He certainly didn't. I'm sorry, Joshua Bell, for being way too enthusiastic about you coming back to the stage and scaring you with my face.

Pictured is Joshua Bell, Louise Goodwin (timpani), and Lynda Houghton (double bass).
