EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the distinguished military career of Thomas Graham, 1st Baron Lynedoch (1748-1843). Commissioned in 1817 by Graham himself from the renowned British painter Sir Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830), this portrait showcases the general's regal presence and military accolades. Graham served with great distinction during the Revolutionary Wars, most notably in the capture of Malta from the French in 1800. In the Peninsular Wars, he served as an aide-de-camp to Sir John Moore during the Corunna campaign in 1808. He later distinguished himself at the siege of Cadiz in 1811, where he was the victor of the Battle of Barrosa. Graham's military prowess continued to shine as he joined the Duke of Wellington's army and commanded the allied left wing throughout the campaign of 1813. The impact of Graham's military achievements extended beyond Europe. In recognition of his victories in the Peninsular Wars, the Barossa Valley and the Barossa Ranges in South Australia were named in his honor. This portrait, now held by Historic England, is a testament to Graham's remarkable military career and enduring legacy. The painting, executed in the Georgian style, showcases Lawrence's mastery of portraiture. The use of rich colors and intricate detailing brings Graham's regal demeanor and military honors to life. This portrait is a valuable addition to Historic England's collection, providing a glimpse into the life of a military hero and the historical context of the time.
