'''''Lord John Stuart and his Brother, Lord Bernard Stuart''''' is a large oil painting by [[Anthony van Dyck]] made c.1638. The life-size [[double portrait]] depicts the two youngest sons of [[Esmé Stewart, 3rd Duke of Lennox]]: [[Lord John Stewart]] (1621–1644) and [[Lord Bernard Stuart]] (1622–1645), aged about 17 and 16 respectively. The painting measures , and has been held by the [[National Gallery, London]] since 1988.
The painting depicts two young men. On the left is the sixth son of the 3rd Duke of Lennox, Lord John Stewart, and on the right is his seventh son, Lord Bernard Stewart (as is common in modern times, the National Gallery uses the French-influenced spelling "Stuart" for their family's name). Van Dyck also painted a portrait of their older brother, [[James Stewart, 1st Duke of Richmond|James]], later 4th Duke of Lennox and 1st Duke of Richmond, now held by the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]].
They are fashionably dressed in rich silk and satin clothing, with [[lace]] [[Collar (clothing)|collars]]. James is dressed in warm shades of gold and brown, and Bernard contrastingly in cooler silver and blue, with the drape and hue of the luxurious fabrics accentuated by the muted brown background. They are standing together, dressed for a journey: the painting was commissioned shortly before they departed in 1639 for a three-year [[Grand Tour]] of Europe.
John is standing on a step, leaning on a stone plinth, looking into the distance past the viewer. Bernard has stepped up onto the step with his left leg, with his left hand resting on his hip so his left elbow juts out at an unnaturally awkward angle; he is gazing directly at the viewer, and lifting the edge of his cape to reveal its silk linking and his embroidered jacket and breeches, with spurs and sword. The brothers stand close together, alluding to their close relationship, but their opposed postures and divergent eyelines suggest some unresolved tension in between them.
Both brothers were both killed while fighting for [[Charles I of England|King Charles I]] in the [[English Civil War]], James at the [[Battle of Cheriton]] in 1644, and Bernard the following year commanding the [[Life Guards (United Kingdom)|Life Guards]] at the [[Battle of Rowton Heath]].
The painting was kept by the Stewart family until 1672 when [[Charles Stewart, 3rd Duke of Richmond|Charles Stewart, 3rd Duke of Richmond, 6th Duke of Lennox]] died without issue. Most of his property and the [[Baron Clifton|Barony of Clifton]] was inherited by his sister [[Katherine O'Brien, 7th Baroness Clifton]]; the painting was in the collection of her granddaughter [[Theodosia Bligh, 10th Baroness Clifton|Theodosia Hyde, 10th Baroness Clifton]]. It remained in the family until it was sold around 1904 to the art dealer [[Sir George Donaldson]]. It was acquired by the banker Sir [[Ernest Cassel]] and passed down to his great-granddaughters [[Patricia Knatchbull, 2nd Countess Mountbatten of Burma]] and [[Lady Pamela Hicks]]. It was bought by the National Gallery in London in 1988.
