Charles Gore

English, 1729-1807
Follow

Charles Gore was an English artist. He married well and travelled throughout Europe and knew royalty, Goethe and Johann Zoffany.

Gore was born in Horkstow Hall in Horkstow in North Lincolnshire in 1729.

He attended Westminster School before working with his father's brother in a London trading company. In 1751 he married Mary (born Cockerill), whose wealth meant that Gore did not need to work again. After his father died he moved with his family in 1759 to Southampton, where he spent many days creating watercolours of naval scenes at the Portsmouth shipyards. He designed his own cutter, which he named Snail when she was launched. His social circle included the Duke of York, the Duke of Gloucester and the Duke of Cumberland, who were all brothers of King George III.

In 1775 George Clavering-Cowper, the presumptive 3rd Earl Cowper married Gore's sixteen-year-old daughter Hannah Anne Gore on 2 June. Their betrothal was commemorated with a painting by Johann Zoffany, commissioned by Gore. In 1780, his daughter went on to live in the Villa Palmieri in Fiesole and to have three children, two of whom became earls.

His daughter Elizabeth Gore married Rev. Henry Wood D.D (Cambridge), son of Francis Wood JP. of Monk Bretton, Yorkshire, and brother of Sir Francis Wood and of Sir Charles Wood.

Gore died in Weimar.
