EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases James Edward Oglethorpe, an influential figure in history. Born in 1696, Oglethorpe was not only an English soldier but also a compassionate philanthropist and the founder of Georgia. The oil painting on panel, created by William Verelst around 1735, beautifully captures his essence. Oglethorpe's portrait exudes strength and determination as he gazes confidently into the distance. Dressed in traditional attire of the time, his regal presence commands attention. This image transports us back to the early days of American colonization when brave men like Oglethorpe paved the way for new settlements. As a settler himself, Oglethorpe played a crucial role in establishing Georgia as a colony in the southeastern part of North America. His vision went beyond mere expansion; he aimed to create a place where debtors could find solace and start anew. This philanthropic endeavor set him apart from other colonial founders. The fine artistry captured by Verelst highlights every intricate detail of this remarkable man's face - from his piercing eyes to his distinguished features that speak volumes about his character and leadership qualities. This print serves as a reminder of James Edward Oglethorpe's significant contributions to history - both as an English soldier defending his nation and as a compassionate founder shaping one of America's earliest colonies.
