EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Count Bergami, a man of mystery and controversy, during the early 19th century. The creator remains unknown, adding an air of intrigue to this portrait. Bartolommeo Bergami, an Italian servant and companion to Queen Caroline, is depicted with his curly hair cascading down his shoulders and dressed in elegant attire. However, behind this seemingly innocent image lies a scandalous tale that shook the royal court. Count Bergami was accused of having an adulterous affair with Queen Caroline, also known as Caroline of Brunswick. This alleged affair became one of the grounds used by King George IV to dissolve their marriage and strip her title away. The engraving showcases Count Bergami's striking features - from his piercing eyes to the intricate details of his earrings - highlighting both his charm and questionable reputation. It serves as a reminder of the turbulent times surrounding Queen Caroline's trial in 1820. This portrait offers us a glimpse into history - a moment frozen in time when love affairs could topple empires. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded that even those who walk among royalty can be entangled in scandalous webs woven by power and desire.
