More about this scene
The last of the male line of the Stradling family died in 1738, not of old age in his bed, but killed in a duel at Montpellier whilst on the Grand Tour. The young man's body was brought back to St Donat's, where it lay in state in the great gallery, looked down upon by the portraits of his equally dead ancestors. Unfortunately, the funerary decorations caught fire, and body, portraits, and the great gallery went up in flames.
