EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait miniature of the renowned poet John Keats. Created in 1818 by Joseph Severn, this delicate ivory piece measures 10.8x8.3 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, UK. The image captures Keats in his youthful glory, exuding an air of romanticism that defined his poetic works. His piercing gaze reveals both depth and vulnerability, drawing viewers into the world of his creative genius. A lock of hair adorns the portrait miniature, serving as a poignant memento mori – a reminder of life's fleeting nature and Keats' untimely demise at just 25 years old. This somber element adds an additional layer to the artwork's emotional impact. Acquired by the museum in 1911 from Sir Charles Dilke's executors, this exquisite piece has become a treasured part of their collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic value but also in its connection to one of English literature's most celebrated figures. As we admire this stunning portrayal, let us be reminded of John Keats' enduring legacy as one who captured beauty and emotion through words like no other. This print serves as a testament to his lasting influence on poetry and continues to inspire generations with its timeless charm.
