  • Charles Long, 1st Baron Farnborough (1760–1838) was an English politician and connoisseur of the arts. Long was a friend of William Pitt, whom he had met at Cambridge, and his involvement in politics began as early as 1788. Rather than an initiator of policy, his strengths lay in his loyal and efficient political adjudications. As to his taste in art, George IV, both as prince regent and as king, consulted him frequently over the commissioning of architecture, sculpture and painting. The prince’s secretary once said that in matters of art, “The Prince Regent saw through Mr. Long’s spectacles”.
