EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait, William Dunbar (c.?-1746) is depicted as a serious and contemplative figure, befitting his role as a Scottish churchman. Dunbar's religious career was marked by controversy and political intrigue. He was expelled from Cruden in 1725 for his Episcopalian views, which placed him at odds with the Presbyterian establishment. Despite this setback, Dunbar was appointed Bishop of Moray and Ross in 1733, a position he held until 1737 when he was transferred to the see of Aberdeen. The date of this portrait is uncertain, but it likely depicts Dunbar in his later years. His stern expression and the somber background add to the sense of gravitas and importance. Dunbar's appointment as Bishop of Aberdeen came during a time of political instability in Scotland, as the country was embroiled in the Jacobite uprisings. Dunbar remained loyal to the Hanoverian monarchy, and he played a key role in quelling the rebellion in Aberdeen in 1745. Despite his controversial past, Dunbar is remembered as a dedicated and effective bishop. He was known for his efforts to improve the educational system in Aberdeen and for his support of charitable causes. This portrait provides a glimpse into the life of an influential Scottish churchman, whose career was shaped by religious and political turmoil. William Dunbar's legacy extends beyond his religious role, as he is also remembered as a poet and writer. He is best known for his collection of poems, "The Golden Tassel," which reflects on the human condition and the passing of time. This complex and intriguing figure continues to fascinate scholars and historians, and this portrait offers a unique window into his life and times.
