Traveller, builder, collector and patron of the arts, Frederick Augustus Hervey, 4th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry, or ‘Earl-Bishop’, led a capricious and eccentric life. He lived for some time in Italy where he bought and commissioned art indiscriminately.
Frederick Hervey (1730-1803) became Bishop of Derry in 1768. He made five extended visits to Italy, spending eighteen years there in total. The Earl Bishop is shown with his granddaughter, Caroline Crichton (1779-1856), in the gardens of the Villa Borghese in Rome.
His ecclesiastical career was championed by his elder brother, Lord Bristol; in 1767 he was consecrated Bishop of Cloyne and on 18 February 1768 he was appointed to the See of Derry, the richest in Ireland. Hervey later identified himself entirely with the aspirations of Irish nationalism.
