With his skilled engravings, he brought to life the visage of Dmitri Mendeleev, leaving an indelible mark on scientific history. Intricately etched by George J. Stodart's hand, Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, stands regally in a portrait that exudes power and authority. Similarly, Sir Henry Havelock's stoic expression reveals the bravery and resilience that defined him as a military leader. Edward William Stodart skillfully painted iconic figures such as William Ewart Gladstone and Garibaldi with meticulous attention to detail. Their portraits capture their charisma and influence during pivotal moments in history. Glimpses into historical events are also preserved through G. Stodart's artistry. The epic depiction of the Defeat of the Floating Batteries at Gibraltar transports us back to 1782 when valor clashed against adversity. Nicholas I, Emperor of all the Russias is portrayed with regal grandeur by an unknown artist from this remarkable family lineage. General Henry Wager Halleck's commanding presence emanates from G. Stodart's brushstrokes while Suleiman Pasha emerges as a symbol of strength in George J Stodart’s artwork. Lastly, Ambrose Burnside gazes resolutely into eternity through G. Stodart’s lens—a testament to his role as a Union Army general during America’s Civil War. The name "Stodart" has become synonymous with excellence in portraiture throughout various eras—each stroke revealing not just physical likeness but encapsulating stories untold within each subject's eyes.
