Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

The Talman Family Group NPG 5781

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Giuseppe Grisoni

Painted around 1718, Giuseppe Grisoni's portrait of the Talman Family is a strange combination of old and new styles. The foreground is like a conversation piece, the type of portrait that was fashionable for group portraits from the 1730s. The background, however, with its allegorical subtext and mythological characters, is typically Baroque - a continental style that was rarely used in British portraits by the eighteenth century.
