Description
A group of fashionable men and women dine by candlelight in this beautifully subdued tableau by English academic painter Thomas Stothard (1755-1834), painted c.1820. The lovely, golden hues that illuminate the faces of the figures crowded around the table remind me of sequences in Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, Barry Lyndon, whose interiors were shot by candlelight. I wonder if Kubrick had Thomas Stothard in mind when creating the 'look' of the film in addition to the often-cited Hogarth and Gainsborough. The period costumes and visuals are so spot-on, it could almost be an outtake from the film itself.
