Paintings in Fallbrooke House

Fallbrooke House is located near Winchester in Hampshire and being the country home of a peer of the Realm, contains numerous paintings both by well-known artists and by unknowns. There are numerous paintings, some dating back to the Tudor era. Most recently, several works were added to the collection by the second Lord Saltash. Some of the collection is listed here.All the paintings in the slideshow are attributed to the original artists. The dates given for the pictures are mostly correct, but one or two have been altered to fit with the established dates of events in the Vickery family. The exception is the painting of Emma as Sappho, which was actually by Elisabeth-Louise Vigée-Lebrun.
All artwork is from the  Your Paintings website, with the exception of the painting of Ramillies, which is from the Dutch wikipedia and shows the actual painting by Jan van Huchtenburg
==Family Portraits==
There are portraits of the Vickery family dating back to the reign of Queen Elizabeth, though only some of the more recent are shown here, from the first Viscount to the children of the current Viscount (including some pictures from the 'future' of Show the Colours, viz the paintings of Robert and John Vickery from 1815 and 1825 respectively.) All other pictures shown can be seen by characters visiting Fallbrooke House in 1809.
==Other Works==
The collection includes artwork by artists both famous and unknown, as well as artwork by up and coming artists. The collection was added to extensively by the second Lord Saltash, with the encouragement of his second wife Elizabeth. One of the last piece he added to the collection was 'Landscape' by Joseph Wright of Derby. The current Lord Saltash takes a keen interest adding to the collection, and has recently acquired a work by aspiring artist Joseph Mallord William Turner, entitled 'Sun rising through vapour'.
It is to be expected that the next Lord Saltash will make his own additions to the collection, in a similar vein.
