EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a plaster sculpture of the eminent Samuel Johnson, a prominent figure in the Enlightenment era. Created by Joseph Nollekens in 1777, this remarkable portrait bust stands at an impressive size of 61x35.6x27.9 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art as part of the Paul Mellon Collection. Samuel Johnson, known for his exceptional contributions to literature and language, holds a significant place in history as he wrote the first English dictionary. A man of great intellect and erudition, he was not only a lexicographer but also an esteemed doctor. The photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this exquisite sculpture, emphasizing Johnson's dignified presence and intellectual aura. His stern yet thoughtful expression reflects his deep contemplation on matters that shaped society during his time. This image serves as a powerful reminder of Johnson's enduring legacy and influence on English language and culture. It transports us back to an era where knowledge was highly valued, making it an invaluable addition to any art collection or historical enthusiast's display. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured this masterpiece without compromising its essence or commercializing its significance. Instead, they have allowed viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship behind Nollekens' creation while celebrating Samuel Johnson's lasting impact on our linguistic heritage
