To mark Father's Day, here are some images of 18th century dads.

The infamous 'Portrait of Madame X' that scandalised Paris in 1884. Rumour has it that Singer Sargent was a distant relative, but as Lou Reed says, "you can't always trust your Mother." [UPDATE: Painter Lindsay Mitchell has an explanation of what exactly was considered so scandalous about this painting: Parisians took their art more seriously then than we now do, and apparently the painting was also subtly different then... See Lindsay's 'Spot the difference']

Portrait of Madame Isaac de Thellusson by Nicolas de Largillière, 1725, English Heritage
Oil on canvas; 100 by 77 cm. Sir William Orpen, in full Sir William Newenham Montague Orpen (born Stillorgan, County Dublin, Ireland—died London, England), British painter, best known for his vigorously characterized portraits; he also worked as an official war artist during World War I. Orpen studied drawing at the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin (1894–97) and at the Slade School of Fine Art in London (1897–99). He first exhibited at the New English Art Club; he became a member there in 1900. His portraits, which established his reputation, showed the influence of Édouard Manet. He also became known as a painter of group portraits such as Homage to Manet (1909), in which he portrayed members of the contemporary English art world sitting in conversation beneath a famous portrait by that artist. Orpen was the official painter of the Paris Peace Conference after World War I, for which he painted The Signing of the Peace Treaty at Versailles (1919–20). Orpen was appointed knight commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1918 and was elected a Royal Academician in 1919. He is posthumously regarded as a facile and prolific, but somewhat superficial, artist who nevertheless achieved great popularity in his day.

His images are on display at New York's Clic Gallery and collected in the 2011 book,” The New Gypsies,” which was re-released this fall, but the project really started 25 years ago.
