The Marquess and Marchioness of Antrim (1722) by Francis Wheatley (1747-1801)
The painting shows their country estate, Glenarm Park, in Co. Antrim. An English artist, Wheatley painted some of his finest works in Ireland. I love how elegant everything is in the work.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
