In the late eighteenth century, the celebrated artist Sir Joshua Reynolds painted many portraits of the Lascelles family. They were a family on the rise, solidifying their status by building Harewood House with profits from the trades in sugar and enslaved people. Now, marking 300 years since Reynolds’ birth, Harewood is re-examining six of these remarkable portraits to explore the artist’s innovative style and role in constructing power and identity in the age of Empire.
