EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished figure of John, Lord Somers, an influential British statesman from the Georgian era. Engraved by the talented artist John Golder in 1785, this portrait captures the essence of Lord Somers' noble character and political prowess. Lord Somers, also known as John Somers, 1st Baron Somers (1651-1716), held a prominent position as Lord High Chancellor to William III. His role in shaping English politics during this time was pivotal and his influence extended far beyond his contemporaries. This engraving beautifully portrays him wearing an elegant wig that was characteristic of the period's aristocracy. The oval-shaped composition adds a touch of sophistication to this artwork while emphasizing Lord Somers' commanding presence. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched by Golder brings out the depth and wisdom reflected in Lord Somers' eyes. Displayed proudly in a private collection, this engraving serves as a testament to both Lord Somer's legacy and Godfrey Kneller's artistic talent. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand the power and grace embodied by English politicians during that era. With its historical significance and aesthetic appeal, this print is sure to captivate art enthusiasts who appreciate fine craftsmanship combined with rich cultural heritage.
