Henry Richard Fox (later Vassall), 3rd Baron Holland

(1773-1840), Whig statesman and patron of art and letters

Regency Portraits Catalogue Entry

Sitter associated with 57 portraits
Holland was at the heart of Whig politics and social life and was committed to the reform of civil and religious liberties. However, he owned three sugar plantations in Jamaica on which enslaved Africans were forced to work. His wife, Elizabeth, also owned a substantial West Indian fortune which caused Holland to adopt the name Vassall to safeguard his children’s inheritance. With this wealth, Holland’s greatest contribution to Regency politics was as host of Holland House where he and his wife maintained a lively salon between 1800 and 1840. With guests prominent in science, literature, art and politics, Holland House provided a coherent focus for the Whigs until they took office in 1830.
