EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we see Sir Edward Codrington, a distinguished British Admiral, immortalized in print. Engraved by J. Cochran and published around 1835, the image showcases the remarkable talent of Thomas Lawrence as he captures Codrington's commanding presence. Adorned in his military uniform with a sash draped across his chest and an array of medals proudly displayed, Codrington exudes authority and bravery. His stern yet composed expression reflects the experiences of a seasoned officer who has witnessed the tumultuous battles that have shaped history. Sir Edward Codrington is renowned for his heroic role in two pivotal naval conflicts: the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and the Battle of Navarino in 1827. These victories solidified his place among Britain's most celebrated admirals. The lithograph offers us a glimpse into the life of this esteemed figure, capturing both his physical likeness and intangible qualities that made him such an influential leader. The attention to detail is evident as every line etched on paper brings forth Codrington's strength and determination. This exquisite print now resides within a private collection but was originally part of National Portrait Gallery's volume II compilation. As we admire this piece, we are reminded not only of Sir Edward Codrington's significant contributions to British naval history but also how art can preserve moments from our past for generations to come.
