Full description

The Duke (1786 – 1861) and Duchess of Sutherland (1808 – 1868) were avid collectors and made extensive acquisitions of modern French sculpture. They had introductions to a number of people whose political power or sheer wealth made them prominent patrons of art or directors of state patronage in these years, starting with the Orléans family itself. They had known Louis-Philippe before the July Revolution. A reminder of the connection between the Sutherlands and the Orléans family survives at Cliveden in the form of this full-size bronze version of the celebrated statue of Joan of Arc by Louise Philippe’s sculptress daughter, Princess Marie d’Orléans. The Minister of the Interior, ex-art critic Adolphe Thiers, was also a friend, and proffered the Sutherlands advice on the furnishing of their Staffordshire house, Trentham Hall. His suggestion that they should use as part of their decorative scheme reproductions of the casts, made for the Ecole des Beaux- Arts, of Ghiberti's Baptistery doors, was turned down by the Duke with regret as 'altogether perhaps too much of an extravagance'. Adapted from Philip Ward-Jackson, ‘A.-E. Carrier-Belleuse, J.-J. Feuchère and the Sutherlands’ in The Burlington Magazine, Vol. 127, No. 984 (March 1985), p. 147.
