EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases the esteemed figure of Francis Atterbury, an influential English prelate, polemical writer, and orator. Created in 1732 by renowned artist Sir Godfrey Kneller, this engraving captures Atterbury's commanding presence and dignified demeanor. Atterbury's remarkable life is reflected in this image. Serving as Bishop of Rochester from 1713 until his exile in 1723, he was a prominent clergyman during the early 18th century in Britain. However, his allegiance to the Jacobite cause after George I ascended to the throne led to his banishment from England. Dressed in a traditional cassock that symbolizes his religious role, Atterbury exudes an air of authority and wisdom. The monochrome palette adds depth and intensity to the portrait while emphasizing Atterbury's serious countenance. The print serves as a testament to both Atterbury's intellectual prowess and steadfast devotion to his beliefs. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world of religion and politics during this tumultuous period in British history. Preserved through time by Ann Ronan Pictures' meticulous care for historical artworks, this print allows us to appreciate not only Francis Atterbury but also Sir Godfrey Kneller's exceptional talent as an artist. As we gaze upon this striking portrayal of a man who stood firm for what he believed in despite facing adversity, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and conviction.
