The owner of Hope commissioned Howard Hodgkin to paint the picture in 1999.  It is

unusual for Hodgkin to take on such specific commissions and it took over a year to

complete and the artist considers it to be amongst his most successful compositions. 

It has been exhibited at a number of important venues and was the subject of a ‘one-

picture’ exhibition at the White Cube Gallery in 2000 where it attracted much press

coverage.

 

Hodgkin is considered, along with Lucien Freud and Francis Bacon, one of England’s

greatest artists of the 20th Century.  Like Bacon and Freud, he has an international

reputation and exhibitions of his work have been organised all over the world

in institutions that include The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and The Kimbell

Museum,Fort Worth. In the United Kingdom he has had one-man shows at the

Whitechapel Gallery, Tate Gallery,the Hayward Gallery, Dulwich Picture Gallery and

the Museum of Modern Art, Edinburgh.
