Original Description
In "Faith, Hope and Charity" by Matthew William Peters, the 18th-century English painter masterfully blends Rococo elegance with emerging Neoclassical restraint. The tender allegorical work, created during the 1780s, depicts three female personifications – Faith holding a cross, Hope with an anchor, and Charity embracing children – which was a popular moralizing theme in post-Reformation Christian art. Peters' trademark soft, porcelain-like complexions and delicate drapery create an ethereal quality, while the warm chiaroscuro recalls his Continental training under Pompeo Batoni. This painting exemplifies England's artistic transition period, where the frivolity of Rococo gave way to more virtuous subject matter, establishing Peters as an important bridge between Joshua Reynolds' academic grandeur and the lighter approach of his contemporaries. Though less famous than his risqué portraits, this devotional work showcases his technical sophistication in composing symbolic narratives with emotional resonance.
For interior decoration, this artwork's muted gold-toned palette would harmonize beautifully with Regency-style interiors or contemporary neutral schemes. Consider hanging it in a study or sitting room with 10-12" matting in antique white with a slender gilt frame to accentuate its period character. The vertical 40×30 inch composition suits above mantels or between bookshelves, where the allegorical figures can inspire contemplation. Pair with Flemish-inspired cassone chests or Chippendale furniture for period authenticity. In modern offices, scale down to giclée reproductions at 24×18 inches for corporate lobbies near seating areas, using LED spotlights at 3000K to replicate candlelit warmth. The theological virtues theme makes it particularly fitting for faith-based institutions, where the imagery could be repeated in stained glass or textiles to create a cohesive design narrative. Position opposite soft blue/gray walls to make the figural group visually "advance" in space.
