EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Charles William Bigge, a prominent merchant and banker from 19th century Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Painted by Snow on an oil canvas, the artwork measures 101.0x127.0 cm and is currently housed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle. In this remarkable piece, we see Bigge seated with an air of authority and confidence befitting his esteemed position in society. His distinguished Georgian appearance is enhanced by his impressive sideburns and well-groomed whiskers, which were popular fashion choices during that era. The artist skillfully captures Bigge's essence through a three-quarter length composition that allows us to admire both his regal presence and Victorian elegance. The attention to detail in this painting is truly remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the subject's personality and character. As we gaze upon this magnificent portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur of British high society during the Regency period. Through this artwork, we gain insight into not only Bigge's individual story but also the broader historical context of Newcastle as a bustling hub for commerce and finance. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this significant piece of art history for all to appreciate its beauty and significance today.
