  HENRY ADDINGTON, 1ST VISCOUNT SIDMOUTH - LoveToKnow Article on HENRY ADDINGTON, 1ST VISCOUNT SIDMOUTH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Addington consented, and after some delay caused by the kings illness, and by the reluctance of several of, Pitts followers to serve under him, became first lord of the treasury and chancellor of the exchequer in March 1801.
Addington then took steps to strengthen the forces of the crown, and suggested to Pitt that he should join the cabinet and that both should serve under a new prime minister., This offer was declined, and a similar fate befell Addington.s subsequent proposal to serve under Pitt.
When the Struggle with France was renewed in May 1803, it became evident that as a war minister Addington was not a success; and when Pitt became openly hostile, the continued confidence of the king and of a majority in the House of Commons was not a sufficient counterpoise to the ministrys waning prestige.

 Dan Addington: Chicago Reader Art Review
Like most of Addington's paintings, this one is covered with a thick layer of beeswax, which adds a peculiar sense of age and ambiguous depth: this complexity, together with a heavy fl frame, gives the dark, solid cross an odd power that belies the modernist artifice of the dripping paint.
Addington also looked at illuminated manuscripts - he mentions the most famous, the Book of Kells - and though he says he didn't want to put them directly into his paintings, they still seem to be an influence.
Addington, a Christian, has managed to create paintings whose mournfulness suggests both belief and loss: belief in a world in which symbols still have meaning, and acknowledgment that the withering away of tradition has distanced us from their power.
