EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Richard Bentley, a prominent English classical scholar and textual critic who lived from 1662 to 1742. The image is a phototype created by the German School in the late 19th century and is part of a private collection. It beautifully captures Bentley's distinguished presence and intellectual aura. The phototype itself is an engraving by George Vertue, executed after Sir James Thornhill's renowned painting of Bentley. Thornhill, a celebrated artist from the same era as Bentley, skillfully portrayed his subject with great attention to detail. The photograph comes from "A Allgemeines Historisches Porträtwerk" published between 1884 and 1890 by Dr. Woldemar von Seidlitz (1850-1922). This publication aimed to preserve historical portraits for future generations to appreciate. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the essence of an influential figure in classical studies. Bentley's contributions as a philologist and text critic have left an indelible mark on academia. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art, this remarkable piece has been made available for all enthusiasts of photography and history alike. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to delve into the past while admiring both technical craftsmanship and scholarly achievements.
