Playlist : • 1/4 The Lost Portrait ...
First broadcast: Feb 2014.
In 2009, art detective Dr Bendor Grosvenor caused a national scandal by proving that the Scottish National Portrait Gallery's iconic portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the rebel Stuart who almost seized power in 1745, was not in fact him. Keen to make amends, and suspecting that a long-lost portrait of the prince by one of Scotland's greatest artists, Allan Ramsay, might still survive, Bendor decides to retrace Charles' journey in the hope of unravelling one of the greatest mysteries in British art.

I'm American but love anything about art, and this "art detective" series is fascinating. I am appalled, however, that the Scottish museum has relegated that magnificent portrait by LaTour to storage just because it's not Prince Charles! What a crime to deprive people of seeing this masterpiece! Was also puzzled to see in the castle a painting hanging right above a radiator. If it's a working radiator, there's not a worse place for a painting to hang. All that steam & heat would ruin it!

It may just be my Canadian ears not catching the nuances, but his accent sounded English. Can anyone explain why that is? Or is it naive of me to have expected to hear a more distinctive Scots accent from him? Thankyou!

Glossed right over was 1688 and the Protestant 'Glorious Revolution' of William and Mary ... Mary being the eldest daughter of headless Charles I, and sister to previous Kings Charles II and James II ... At that time, the future Bonnie Prince's future father the erstwhile 'Pretender' James III was only a newborn infant himself, suddenly taken in flight to Catholic France ... From the Stuart's 1988 banishment to young Charlie's 1745 landing in Scotland ... 57 years, that's a long time to grind an ax!
@monkeytennis8861
@monkeytennis8861 2 роки тому
Mary was born in 1661, 12 years after Charles I was executed, you clown. She was the daughter James II, a Stuart. Later, her sister, Anne ruled and she was a Stuart. So, the Stuarts weren't expelled in 1688, or in 1988 as you've written.

At 11.12 + the narrator refers to "Bonnie Prince Charlie" landing in Scotland and "his father King James's manifesto being read out" to the assembled clans. BUT...Bonnie Prince Charlie's father, James Francis Edward Stuart"(the "Old Pretender") was never "King". He was the eldest legitimate son of the deposed King James II (of England). Bonnie Prince Charlie (the Young Pretender) was the grandson of King James II.

Bonnie Prince Charlie deserted his men. He allowed his English supporters at Manchester to die. He ignored the advice of his officers, especially Lord Murray. Many Jacobites were surprised Charles invaded England as it was a Stuart promise to dissolve the Union and make Scotland independent with the Stuarts back on the Scottish throne. However, it was England Charles wanted. Scotland was a stepping stone and its people mere fodder. He made sure he escaped Culloden.

2. Jacobites weren't surprised that Charles would invade England it was common knowledge that, yes, the Union would be abolished, but it would be like before the act of union, where England and Scotland each were separete Kingdoms, but had the same Monarch. Scotland was unable to sustain itselft economically without England. The intention to go to England was know since the start of the rebellion.

Although it is true that Elcho later in live grew to dislike the Prince and had a fight with him about a debt, he never said that about him. It was a lie invented by the Pro hanoverian article written by Sir Walter Scott in the Quarterly Review. Scott’s account was comprehensively rebutted by A. C. Ewald in 1875, who noted that it was not in Elcho’s own Journal and was inconsistent with other accounts.

A little correction on this documentary: James the 2nd wasn’t deposed solely for being a Catholic. He was deposed because he treated “non catholics” as second class citizens, who had fewer rights under his law as head of the church. In a country that was overwhelmingly Protestant, that wasn’t going to end well for Jamesy boy.

You must be getting up there in age, if that's the generational difference. I'm a 17th great-granddaughter of James II, a 16th great-granddaughter of his daughter Mary's (James III's sister, which would make you and myself sixth cousins 10 times removed, I believe). I sometimes see a 5 generation difference in relatives alive today (my great-great-grandmother was alive when I was born, making a total of 5 simultaneous generations alive in the 20th century), but a 10+ generation discrepancy in contemporary descendants of the same people? I'm quite surprised. I do find it charming that everyone with a drop of Scottish blood is commenting about their descent from various Scottish clans, even kings. Because of the smallish population, especially in the noble class, we're all related the moment we find an ancestor significant enough to be entered into the genealogies of our ancestors.

That is what I want to see, considering the whole documentary is based on 'finding a painting' then he should focus on giving the details that led to the painting not being of Charlie instead of the endless dribble about the people and history of the time. The guy is just another blowhard that likes to hear the sound of his own voice.
