Benjamin Vandergucht's Self Portrait of the Artist Painting his Father .
Benjamin Vandergucht or Van der Gucht (1753–1794)[1]
He was the thirty-second child of Gerard Vandergucht the engraver, and one of twins. He studied drawing in St Martin's Lane Academy , and on the foundation of the Royal Academy he became one of the first students in its schools.[2]
Vandergucht became better known as a picture-restorer and picture-dealer than as an artist, and had patrons in high society. He lived for some time in Pall Mall, London , on the site later occupied by the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery . When he inherited his father's house in Upper Brook Street , he built a picture gallery onto his own house. There he stored the high-class pictures in which he dealt, charging one shilling for admission to view the collection.[2]
On 21 September 1794, while Vandergucht was returning from a visit on business to Lord George Cavendish at Chiswick House , the boat in which he was travelling was run down off Barnes Terrace . Though Vandergucht was a swimmer, he was drowned.[3] Christie's in March 1796.[2]
Henry Woodward in character as Petruchio in Catharine and Petruchio
Vandergucht painted a number of portraits. Most were of actors, such as David Garrick , John Henry Johnstone , John Moody , and Henry Woodward , and some of these were engraved.[2]
