Barthé was a figurative artist practising from the 1930s to the 1980s. His work explored the sensuality and spirituality of the human form and generally, but not exclusively, depicted black people and stories.
Exactly how this painting came to be at Belton House is unknown, but it's likely to have been acquired by Peregrine Cust, 6th Baron Brownlow (1899–1978), who kept a holiday home in Jamaica. The Brownlows may have known Barthé socially or may have bought or been given the painting at the artist’s home studio in St Ann Parish, Jamaica.
This painting is particularly special as Barthé was primarily known for his work as a sculptor. The rare oil on canvas portrait offers new insight into a lesser-known aspect of his work.
Specially commissioned by the National Trust, this film by Media Worx is narrated by DJ and presenter Trevor Nelson and features contemporary black artists sharing their reflections on the painting.
