Christian VII (1749-1808) was King of Denmark and Norway, and Duke of Schleswig and Holstein from 1766 until his death. He was dreadful towards his wife, Princess Caroline Mathilda, a sister of King George III of Great Britain, declaring that it was not fashionable to loves one's wife, and thus he pursued a young courtisan, Stovlet-Cathrine. His neglected wife drifted into an affair with Johann Friedrich Struensee, the royal physician. Following a divorce, Struensee was arrested and later executed; the warrant was signed by Christian with indifference. He suffered from various mental problems, the symptoms of which leaned towards paranoia and schizophrenia.
See 17597 for Christian VII's wife Caroline Matilda; and 17598 for Juliana Maria, who saw Christian VII restored to the throne.

A portrait of Christiane Eberhardine of Brandenburg-Bayreuth (1671-1727), dressed lavishly. She married the Duke of Saxony, who would go on to become king of Poland, aged 21.

A Merry Christmas Day, in the Watch House, for Milling the Charles. No Bail come yet, Sir,_you must be locked up till morning_now Sir,_walk in.
Designed & Engraved by Theodore Lane.
[n.d. c.1820] London, Pubd. by Thos. Mc.Lean, 26, Haymarket.
Coloured etching. 349 x 254mm. 13¾" x 10".
Theodore Lane (1800-1828), was apprenticed to the miniature painter John Barrow, with whom he studied watercolour portraits and miniatures, exhibiting at the Royal Academy from 1819. His real talent, however, lay in his depiction of humorous subjects; a series of thirty-six subjects designed and etched by him, entitled The Life of an Actor, was published in 1825. Lane also etched a number of sets of satirical and comic prints of sporting and social life, and he became well-known for his caricatures of George IV and Queen Caroline. He turned to oil painting in 1825, and within two years was exhibiting work at the Royal Academy. Lane died at the young age of twenty-eight when he fell through a skylight.

Scene from Homer's 'The Odyssey' in which the enslaved Trojan woman Chryseis is returned to her father after Apollo unleashes a plague on her Greek captors. Stipple engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi (1725-1815) after his frequent collaborator Giovanni Battista Cipriani (1727-85). Bartolozzi was born in Florence but migrated to England, and in 1768 was elected as a founding member of the Royal Academy in London (the RA did not admit engravers at this time but made an exception in his case, getting around the rules by electing Bartolozzi as a painter). He was already hailed as the best engraver in Italy when he met George III's librarian Richard Dalton in 1763. Dalton enticed Bartolozzi to London with a promise of an appointment as engraver to the king. In England he became the most celebrated exponent of the 'stipple' technique whereby he produced prints using dots rather than lines. In 1801 Bartolozzi was invited to Lisbon to reform the royal printing press, and he spent his final years in Portugal.

Chryses, Priest of Apollo, invoking his God to revenge the Injuries done him by Agamemnon. Hom. Il.d
Painted by B. West / Engrav'd by J.R. Smith

Scarce mezzotint, platemark 510 x 355mm (20 x 14"). Some creasing off image; repaired breaks along platemark.
During the Trojan War, Agamemnon abducted Chryses' daughter Chryseis and refused Chryses' attempts to ransom her (the gifts which Agamemon rejected lay on the floor). As shown here, Chryses then prayed to Apollo (seen here riding through the sky in his chariot) for revenge, which came in the form of a plague which befell Agamemnon's army. He was forced to return Chryseis in order to end it. The reunion of Chryses with his daughter was perhaps a common theme for artists of this period than the anguished invocation depicted here. Mezzotint by J.R. Smith published in 1774, the year after Benjamin West's painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy. The print was later republished by John Boydell.
