EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases George Harrington, the esteemed Mayor of Bristol in 1617. Painted by Joseph Manning around 1801-1861/1871, this watercolor on paper piece is currently housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The image depicts a distinguished man in ceremonial attire, exuding authority and wisdom. George Harrington's contribution to his city is further highlighted by an inscription found within St Peters church, which serves as a memorial to him. It reads: "George Harrington, Mayor and Alderman of the City. Died Jan. 2nd 1639". Notably, he was not only a mayor but also a successful brewer. The painting itself captures Harrington at the age of 70 in 1630 when it was created. His bearded face conveys both maturity and experience while his baroque-style clothing adds an air of elegance to his persona. The half-length composition allows us to focus on his dignified expression and intricate ruff collar that was fashionable during Jacobean times. This remarkable artwork has been preserved through time thanks to William Jerdone Braikenridge's generous bequest in 1908. As we admire this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to a significant era in Bristol's history where George Harrington played an influential role as its mayor.
