EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Alderman Whitson, a prominent figure in 17th century England. Painted by the English School and preserved at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, this artwork offers a glimpse into the life of John Whitson, an influential merchant and politician. Alderman Whitson's half-length depiction exudes authority and sophistication. His dignified presence is enhanced by the skillful use of watercolors on paper, adding depth to his character. The artist behind this masterpiece is Miss Eden, whose talent shines through in every brushstroke. Whitson's significance extends beyond politics; he was also the founder of The Red Maids School. This philanthropic endeavor further exemplifies his commitment to education and community development during his lifetime. The bequest of William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908 ensured that this remarkable piece found its rightful place within Bristol's rich cultural heritage. Now available for all to admire at eBristol Museums, Galleries & Archives, it serves as a testament to both artistic prowess and historical legacy. As we gaze upon this painting today, we are transported back in time to witness the essence of Alderman Whitson himself—a man who left an indelible mark on society through his achievements as a merchant, politician, and benefactor.
