EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of John Owen MP, painted by Joseph Highmore. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures 124.2x98.7 cm and is proudly displayed at the National Museum Wales. John Owen, a prominent British politician, served as the Member of Parliament for Anglesey in 1741. Unfortunately, his campaign expenses left him financially ruined. However, in 1747 he managed to secure the seat for Beaumaris despite these setbacks. In this portrait, John Owen exudes an air of authority and sophistication befitting a statesman. Dressed in an exquisite gold brocade waistcoat and adorned with gloves, his attire reflects his status as a member of parliament during the Georgian era. The painting also highlights John Owen's connection to the influential Bulkeley family who supported him throughout his political career. As a major local landed family, their endorsement further solidified his position within Welsh politics. Joseph Highmore skillfully captures John Owen's likeness with meticulous attention to detail - from his meticulously styled wig to every brushstroke that brings life to his three-quarter-length figure. This print not only celebrates the artistic prowess of Joseph Highmore but also immortalizes John Owen MP as a significant figure in Welsh history and politics.
